The Stockinetttes

The Stockinets are a series of dolls that I made to explore the range of what I could do with aluminum armature wire and stockinette knit fabric for the doll skin.  I gave myself some rules.  All the dolls had to have the similar armatures.  The "skin" of the doll had to be made from and defined by a stuffed and sewn stockinette form.  All of the dolls had to be free standing.  I gave myself complete freedom of design for the head, hair and costuming.  This project took me a year and a half.  It was SO MUCH FUN and I learned a lot.  Have a look....
