My Hoffman Challenge Doll

I worked on this doll for a couple of weeks. She is made using Colleen Babcock's Tresures of the Deep pattern. The challenge fabric was the big floral pattern so I fused two fabrics together and just used the roses I had cut out and satin stiched. I did a lot of beading on her.  She is called Floral Delight, Enjoy!

This is my doll for the Hoffman Challenge. She is called 'Asian Steampunk'. I had lots of fun doing the Victorian/gear thing. Her obi is a corset and the tie is instead geared wings. Her fan is geared too. She has her goggles and top hat but still has the Kimono look.

These are a closeup of her boots. The band has little watch gears on it

Oh well, There is next year!

Here is a picture of the doll I sent in for the Hoffman Challenge. She wasn't selected this year and was sent back I wasn't really too happy with her face but had run out of time. She is sitting on a large flower. I used quite a few of the companion fabrics this time as I had gotten a sharm square pack of all the challenge fabrics. Each petal in her skirt is a different fabric on the underside which I turned slightly and tacked down with a leaf bead. Next year I will get an earlier start hopefully! I did get some fat quarters back as they were giving away fabric for the 20th anniversary. How many times you entered, won, traveled etc. I got four nice fat quarters and the pin.
