Creative process

Hi all, 
I've taken on this exciting project to create 2 dolls that are inspired by the movie Frozen. The 2 sisters, Elsa and Anna. I am pretty new to doll making but after making a couple for my own girls from the basic pattern , I felt I was up to the challenge. Besides, the doll patterns I use are from Dolls and Daydreams and are extremely easy to follow even for a beginner . I highly recommend you check out her website. www.dollsanddaydreams.com . 
So, after researching what these two sisters look like, I came up with some ideas and began gathering the materials. These dolls use felt for the hair. I found an Etsy store carrying Bamboo felt for a reasonable price, I found the other fabrics for the clothes from my local fabric shop.. I wanted to share how they are coming along so far all the pieces are cut, the faces are beginning to come to life and the vision for the dresses is created. Have a look. I still have to pick up some fabric for Anna's cape, it's purple. I have some lovely snowflake organza on its way for Elsa's cape. Anna's hair is a bit darker than the actual character and I have thought of stitching some lighter streaks in it . Still not sure about that. I am really enjoying the creative process of creating these dolls . Stay tuned for an update and pictures of the finished product.
