The Grid, 1930, Raoul Dufy

my final project for my first year at uni!!

handmade doll based around mythological / fantasy birds, character design, and medieval fashion and sewing techniques. entirely hand embroidered and hand sewn, with an interior wire armature for support - around 48 hours in the making done over the course of a week (not including the whole terms worth of research, design, pattern drafting and prototypes)

now that i’ve gotten over the stress of making her time, i can say how insanely proud of her i am. i made that!!
