Photo tutorial

I decided, after many requests, to make a mini photo tutorial of my skull/skirt art dolls.
I'll take pics of all the basic steps while making my new doll.

Where the wild roses grow

They call me The Wild Rose
But my name was Elisa Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Elisa Day

From the first day I saw her I knew she was the one
She stared in my eyes and smiled
For her lips were the colour of the roses
That grew down the river, all bloody and wild
When he knocked on my door and entered the room
My trembling subsided in his sure embrace
He would be my first man, and with a careful hand
He wiped at the tears that ran down my face

On the second day I brought her a flower
She was more beautiful than any woman I'd seen
I said, "Do you know where the wild roses grow
So sweet and scarlet and free?"
On the second day he came with a single red rose
Said: "Will you give me your loss and your sorrow"
I nodded my head, as I lay on the bed
He said, "If I show you the roses, will you follow?"

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he knelt (stood smiling) above me with a rock in his fist
On the last day I took her where the wild roses grow
And she lay on the bank, the wind light as a thief
And I kissed her goodbye, said, "All beauty must die"
And lent down and planted a rose between her teeth

ADO Clown mini monthly challenge

This is my piece for ADO's mini monthly challenge.
Clowns are not my cup of tea to make, that's for sure!
16 cm / 6.3 inch total.

Where the wild roses grow UPDATE

Update:

Dress almost ready, only have to fill the gaps between the roses.
Then make the base (waiting for the concrete gargoyle to arrive from the USA).

W.I.P. Where the wild roses grow

While waiting for the new lights to arrive for Wednesday I started a new one : Where the wild roses grow.
This is her head, I made it today.
Sorry for the bad pics, I'll try to make better ones tomorrow in daylight.

Update on Wednesday is playing

Here's a little update, not ready by a long shot!
Halfway sewing her dress.
The sleeves, buttons and belt aren't attached yet.
I must make her skeleton hands (one is holding the knife and the other one is holding her dress open so you can see the scene inside her skirt) but I save that for last.
I also haven't make the scene in her skirt and the base yet.

Sneak preview: Wednesday is playing
