Marie Antoinette Bust for Christchurch Workshop

I have just finished another Marie Antoinette Bust for my workshop in Christchurch at the end of April! I will make one more with white hair soon. This will be an online workshop soon too!

 Playing with the camera settings!

 Looking rather swish!

I have made all the plinths for the class too!  Offering a full Kit set for this one!

Marie Antoinette look-a-likes!

Meanwhile in the palace the competition for the best Marie Antoinette look-alike is hotting up!

This bevy of beauties are the result of a workshop we had in the last few weeks.  Some  have made more than one and they have been having the best time with with them!Each one is a little work of art and they are all thrilled with the way they have turned out and the skills they have learned!  I am rapt!

The ladies have decided they want to use them as a fund-raiser for breast cancer and soon they will be displayed in our local hairdressers shop!  One of the dolls was made by the owner!  Hope you like them!

Anothr Marie Antoinette Bust - so to speak!

 More mixed media.  Trying out dying wool roving pink!  So easy with food colouring and utube!

Great fun doing the hair, which is probably a tad unembellished,

  but I let the dress speak instead! 

Moody Blue!

Marie Antoinette Busts

These are all the dolls I made to complete my latest Online Class, starting on 16th October, on Fabric Addictions Website!  This one took a while to complete, because she needed a contrast colour and I couldn't think what to do!

This one I am giving to the person who gave me the fabric and buttons - a blouse, belonging to her late mother!  Swiss origin and beautiful fabric - silk I think!

 

These two are on the cover of my Class Pattern.  The originals!

This one has had two heads and the sailing ship to finish it off!

This one - to match the little vase I used to set her in!  The video for the ribbon roses goes with the Class!

A group photo!   The same head - different eyelashes, hair and  As you can see, these busts can be as colourful and outrageous as you wish!

  Use up the old candlesticks and bits of lavish lace in your stash!  So many different ways to interpret this bust!

Making these made me think of all the drama queens in my life and helped me rise about it all!  LOL!  Hope you like them.
