Captain Cook Doll Continued.

 Still far from finished, but it is getting there.I worked on making the tricorn hat more needs to be done on that and the shoes have been started and decorating the coat. Made the cuffs but not attached and need decorating but it is getting there.

 Close up of the tricorn hat so far. Black wool

View from the back of the coat so far. Each of the panels have a decoration of gold at the top of the points these need to be added next. but the next thing that needs to be done is a quilt for Aussie Heroes so I will be putting him aside for now.

 Working on the coat at the moment.

Getting there, I will be working on this doll for the weekend then making a quilt for Aussie Heroes then getting back to the doll.

Gifts, Doll, Shopping And Meggie.

 Today I went out op shopping for Aussie Hero stuff and stuff to finish the doll. This lovely bag of fabric was waiting for me at the front door. Thank you Libby, the fabric is wonderful.

 Meggie enjoyed the bag that the fabric came in! Don't worry, she was only in it for a moment while the fabric was being photographed!

 This is what I bought in Greensborough today, Blank photo paper to make my Aussie Hero postcards with, 2 pairs of shoes for the buckles, this gold braid to make the shoulder tassels with, (I cannot think of the proper name for it at the moment). a bag of gold buttons. and ribbon to go as the trim on the outside of the dress coat.

Working on the vest at the moment, but you can see the buttons are the right size for the doll.

Captain Cook Doll Continued.

 Getting it all together. The breeches and the shirt are almost finished. Next will be the waistcoat, then the jacket. then the shoes and then back to the face and the wig.

The clothes will be attached to the doll and not be removable.

 Building up the facial features.  It does look darker in real life, too much flash. First part of the hair/wig attached.

This is the photograph I am using.
