Here she is, all dressed and wigged and everything. I am pretty proud of her although there are def a few things I will do differently next time!! But I think for a first try I am pleased. Her shoulders are very broad and akward mainly because I didn't account for having to attach her arms. That's my biggest regret... so I will def pay attention to that next time. Plus her dress is a little more Edward-Scissor-hands-esque than sleek-and-chic.... but hey I'm just glad she has clothes!!! I need to get over my sewing-phobia before I start any of the other characters!! But she has some nice curves and a little sex-appeal for Gomez so I'm happy. I might try again, but I will definitely keep this Morticia around as she is my first doll and that's worth something!
Thanks so much to everyone and for your advice!!! Going into the wigging was the scariest part of the whole thing but I think it came out the best! So thank you so much!
And now that I have the Mrs. of the Mansion hopefully she'll agree to help me out with a future post.... showing you around the mansion so far (there's still not much so don't get too excited...)
Well done Ara, she's a beauty! I think Gomez will be very happy with her, at least as soon as you have made him too :-)
ReplyDeleteShe looks great Ara- I tried to make a doll once, but could never get past sculpting the face. Morticia looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteMorticia looks wonderful, Ara. I wouldn't change a thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!! Yeah... she's growing on me by the minute :) Kim, it took me several hours and getting up and walking away a few time to get a decent face! haha! You should def give it another shot when you have a whole day free to fiddle with it!
ReplyDeleteAra, she is WONDERFUL!!
ReplyDeleteYou know you can glue their clothing?! I do a combination of both.
WONDERFUL job, Ara, and her wigging is perfect!
Hugs,
Marsha
She looks great! :)
ReplyDeleteTish looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteAra I think you've done a great job, well done you. x
ReplyDeleteThanks for the positive encouragement all! Makes me wanna get started on Gomez!! Although men seem like they would he harder....
ReplyDeleteMarsha, without glue Moricia would still be wearing the black-out bars! haha! Thank goodness for glue! :) - ara
Ara, she is most elegant and chic! you have been very very good, and brave a well. I'll never dare sculpting a face! have a nice day Rosanna

Very well done!!! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone!! haha Julie... 'happy chappy'! Yes the dress is a little low-cut... I am thinking some trim might help with that!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats for completing your first doll! Her hair looks perfect! Straight styles with a center part are of the hardest to get right, and you aced it!
ReplyDeleteShe looks great, Ara! Gomez will be in heaven (or would it be hell?) when you get him sculpted. ;-)
ReplyDeleteShe is every bit the woman I wanna be, Ara. Now Tara can finally meet her! Love her cleavage so don't hide anything please. I must say I am so very impressed with your wigging. Her hair is immaculate.
ReplyDeleteYour Morticia is very beautiful, even the dress, especially the part below, is perfect! You must be proud of her, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteAra....GREAT first doll! That's how I learned and I'm still learning how to sculpt and refine my dolls and I have been sculpting miniatures for over 5 years.
ReplyDeleteClothing is also very tricky and hard...it's not my strong point but I'm still trying to perfect my size and sewing.
Keep up the wonderful work!!!!

I dunno how I missed this post the other day! Yeah!!! She's perfect!! So brave of you to push through your fears and finish her! Can't wait to see what she has to show us in the house! ......so, who u making next?? :)
ReplyDeleteWow she is fab :-)
ReplyDeleteMorticia is lovely! her dress and hair are incredible and I would have never thought this to be your first doll if you hadn't said something ;) Great job and can't wait to see the rest of the family.
ReplyDeleteWow Ara...that is amazing for a first attempt.....I love her...every bit. Wigging is hard and you did excellent for your first go...well done !
ReplyDeleteYou have just wonderful things on your blog!
ReplyDeletehey sis this is your taller younger crazier sister who loves you and hopes i can be just as creative as you are! im so proud of you! keep moving forward and impressing people and blow them out of the water! LOVE YOU!!!
ReplyDeleteShe looks great, Ara. Lots better than my Stanley or Mud Grumpus... :-0 BTW, I've just tossed you the Ball!

Fabulous job on Morticia! I especially love her pouty lips. You should definitely sculpt Gomez leaning down kissing up one of her arms! How about a thorny stick (with the rose cut off, of course) in one of her hands? The possibilities are endless here, she looks wonderful, and her hair is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI saw The Addams Family last year and loved it! Lane and Neuwirth were fantastic as well as Krysta Rodriguez. The story line and music were very entertaining and tickets weren't cheap, i got them from Ticketsinventory.com ...hopefully they do make it on Broadway again.It’s one of my favourite shows; I would see it again in a heartbeat!
ReplyDeleteBueno que maravilla de cosas!! Como olvidar esa serie que me encanta!! Has logrado recrearla fantásticamente ( = ¡Felicidades!!
