Here are some preview shots of my new doll-Twenty To Midnight. She is going to a show in London at the end of this month.
Twenty To Midnight is a one of a kind tattooed doll, featuring a silver-plated, limited edition bronze casting of a hand carved Rococo wig sculpture. The wig is magnetic and removable, with one of a kind gemstone accents of 6 Pink Tourmalines and 2 Rubies.
Midnight's china face painting was loosely inspired by Audrey Kawasaki's beautiful girls.
Midnight's silver-plated, bronze slippers are accented with solitaire Rubies, glass beads and tiny bows.
The finished wig weighs only 119.1 grams, or 4.2 ounces and is relatively light compared to some of my other metal head ornaments, such a Sterling Snowflake crown or a Sterling Cathedral crown. I am immensely pleased with how it turned out, as I really didn't anticipate such a close fit to the contours of the head because of the shrinkage and inevitable warping of the model during molding and casting. The inside of the wig is lined with layers of soft leather to maximize the tightness of contact.
We are still working on the web gallery for Twenty To Midnight, but I'll post more photos and information for her on Monday or Tuesday.
Today I have to get her ready for shipment.
