ELENA, A MODERN DOLL


This is Elena, a modern doll. She has porcelain head, shoulder plate, lower arms and legs. The torso is cotton broadcloth, stuffed with polyester fiberfill. Her hair is a mohair wig. She has hazel glass eyes. I made her dress with cotton batiste and French lace. I used the French hand sewing by machine method, which utilizes a serger to join the lace to the batiste.



I painted small flowers around the base to match the trim at bottom of dress.
