Red Riding Hood Art Doll at auction

I've decided to post here right away to auction. Fresh from the sculpting bench so to speak. I hope she gets lots of views and maybe, if I'm lucky she'll be going to a new home. I love to create art dolls and I learn new things each time I do, but I'm quickly running out of space! It will be sad to pack her up and watch her walk off into someone else's life, but its been fun!

Base for Red Riding Hood Art Doll

Only enough time this weekend to do the base. I still need something to put in Red`s basket. I looked for a little wicker basket, but couldn`t find anything appropriate in scale. I decided I could make one. I crocheted it from cotton and dyed it to look like wicker. I love the way it turned out once it was all shaped up and stiffened.

 The base is wood, with a hole drilled for the leg armature. I added paperclay, gesso, painted it in several coats of paint. Then I added the moss and rocks. Once it has all dried I will add a matte varnish and a felt bottom with my signature tag.
