Doll Street Dotee Doll Challenge

I have joined a fun little challenge over on Dollstreet Dreamers.  There is a curious little doll called a Dotee.  It is a smallish doll approximately 3-6 inches in length.  It is typically rectangular or oval in shape.  The idea is to sew these by hand.  So, you draw out a simple shape cut it out and sew it together and then stuff it.  The faces are usually drawn or embroidered on.  Well, not being a conformist i decided to draw my faces with colored pencil.  How I did this was similar to how I find my apparition type faces.  I just looked at some mottled fabric and found funny little faces in it.  I pulled the face out with colored pencils.  I initially decided to do this because I was sorting my large collection of colored pencils to organize them and to see what I needed to replenish.  Anyway, these little things are the result.  Oh, and you are supposed to put a little tail or dangle thing on too as well as a loop for hanging purposes.

This first on here is influenced by my goblins.  As you can see I had a fun time with him.  Kind of reminiscent of Where the Wild Things Are.

Dotee number two is a little weirder in style.  It is just a little whacked looking.

The third dotee is more modernist in flavor.  A tribute to all of my modern painting idols.

Hope you enjoyed my little diversion from the sculpture.  My fingers certainly don't like me now.  I have lost my sewing callus since I haven't sewn anything in over a year.  I am having to nurse some sore finger tips.
