Hi,
I love the doll idea. My homeschool class is studying figure drawing, and although this doll project seems a bit elementary for my middle school group, any figure demonstration gives students an idea of proportion. In fact it could open the door for using other materials for a more permanent realistic doll with cloth accessories, but I am just imagining where we will go with this.
Love your site and thank you for helping us other artist!
