I just finished my specially ordered custom Bru doll and she is up on my website now.
Many of you probably heard about or own the book called ” Precious Dolls” by Ursela Brecht. This book features one of worlds most beautiful doll collection.
I had a special request to recreate a Bru doll looks similar to the one feartured in this book and that’s how she was born.
She has very pale blue eyes with dark brunette hair and teal green silk dress.
It is very challenging job to create the doll looks like certain antique doll because each antique dolls have deferent facial expressions and painted differently.
I think I was able to capture the essence of the ” look” of this certain Bru doll by using these pale blue glass eyes and perfectly styled mohair wig.
This wig was custom made by wig artist Leni. She did a superb job recreating antique look wig for her. Thank you Leni!
I also used teal green antique silk fabric to create her dress. This darker tone dress and dark wig really make her face stands out.
I am very happy with the result.
She look so deferent from other Bru dolls I have made in the past and I am sure you will enjoy seeing her too!
