This is my first attempt at making the Emily of New Moon doll. She will be used in my scrap book images as a model for photographs, taking these snapshots as though she is really on PEI. I want it to look like these pages are pages from Emily's own journal, so they will include her writing, her drawings, her mementos and photographs around the island.
I wanted Emily to be authentic, so I looked at clothes and fashion for girls around 1910 in Canada. Her shoes aren't quite right, I was trying to make button boots but they're too chunky and blocky.
I usually make the eyes on my dolls as simple black dots but because this is supposed to be the 'real' Emily, I decided to approach this doll with a bit more of a realistic expression.
I will need to either make the doll so that she can be repainted, redressed etc for the different scenes, or make several dolls to interchange for photos.
