International Dolls

The college that I'm attending is heavily missions oriented, so I'm considering making dolls dressed in traditional clothing from other countries. If you have any good pictures of international clothing that really give a good picture of the style, feel free to leave a link, because I need something to base the dolls from.

Christmas wedding dolls

For Christmas, I made my mom and her two sisters sets of dolls that represented their weddings.
I regret to say that I forgot to take pictures of all three wedding sets once I had completed them, but here are a few "in progress" pictures.

This is all I have from my one Aunt's set, but here is a candlestick. :D the base is a small spindle from Hobby Lobby. The candles are air-drying clay, and the flat base to hold the candles is simply a flat bit of wood hot-glued to the spindle. The beads and rhinestones are from Hobby Lobby.

This is my other Aunt's wedding. (minus the groom and groomsmen)

They each had different candlesticks, and hers were like this! (you can see both candle holders in the above picture.)
This was my Mom's set. This is the bride from the back. Mom had a real-flower wreath on her head, so I used ribbon roses and green beads for the doll.

. . . and her candlestick. :)

Narnia

For my younger cousins for Christmas, I made them Narnia dolls.




She didn't need a tag. :)
I didn't know how in the world to make a lion, so I bought one at Barnes and Nobel.
