Yesterday I got a lot done on Asa's costume. I finished the sleeves and the bodice neckline. With the bodice finally finished I laced it up the back and tied it tightly into position. Next was the necklace. I'd been keeping an eye out for a nice necklace and earring set, but haven't found one yet - so decided to make my own for now. I borrowed Ryung's necklace as a model, and copied it in silver, blue and red beads. Maybe some day I'll find what I'm looking for, and if not, at least Asa will have a necklace in the meantime. I still need to make earrings.
Next job is to make her "Night Sky" cloak of black tulle sprinkled with stars and moons. It will also have a stand-up collar made with the last five blue poinsettia petals. I decided to add the stand-up collar to the cloak and not the dress. There's an odd number of petals and the bodice has a center back opening, so it would have been too complicated if they were attached to the bodice. Not sure yet how I'll attach everything to make it all work together, but I'll figure that out as I work on it. After the cloak, I have to make the wig.
This is our "Family Day" long weekend, and Jan asked if Asa will be finished in time to do "Family Portraits". That's actually a good idea - to shoot the annual doll family photos on the Family Day weekend each year. I'll see if I can get her done, but the wig is still going to be a ton of work.
