the Littlest Elf

Well, another fantasy costume is finished!  That makes four so far. Problem is, I'm doing my best to resist taking pictures with Miles (or Milo) until he gets a face up. So I only took photos of the girls. I had been using Bonnie as my model while I was sewing the costume, but Bonnie looked too washed out - the outfit needed someone with red hair, so now Holly is my little elf.

When I initially painted the bottom edges of the dress, the green dried too light, so I redid it with a darker, brighter green. It's a bit bright, but then this elf is just a little girl, so it works.

I'm at a point now where I need to take a short break. There's another doll birthday coming up, and I have nothing made for it. It's Tillie's birthday coming up, and she has nothing special  to wear, and I also thought I'd do a tutorial when I make this next cake. So I need to take a short break from the fantasy costumes. But maybe it would be a good time to fit in some bows and arrows while I'm wiring on the new projects. There's a lot of drying time involved with bows and arrows, so maybe I can 'multi-task'.
