My Hermiome doll (pt. 1)
I'm a member of an art studio, where people with various interests go to make their art and learn tips and techniques from the other artists. Fridays are our 'Craft Day', where we do different projects to introduce new media that we might want to try out. A while back the project was 'sock dolls'. What our studio turned out though was nothing like what I had pictured when I heard the name of the craft. We actually, last night, had an exhibition of our dolls at the main branch's gallery. (On the 1st Friday of each month there is a city-wide gallery show, and people can just walk from gallery to gallery to see what the local artists are doing. Some artists even display their work along the side of the road.)
I got extremely carried away with my doll, and the many, many, many accessories I made for her. (I ended up needing a whole display table to myself -the others were three dolls to a table- and most of the accessories were still in the box!) But I had so much *fun* with it, and kept getting ideas... didn't end of finishing the last piece until Thursday night.
I made Hermione, from the Prisoner of Azkaban (book, not movie). I also made Crookshanks, her wand, the time-turner, her entire books list, some elf hats, a potions kit, scrolls and quills, a falling-apart-at-the-seams satchel, shopping bags from the (named) stores in Hogsmede, and (since I happened to have a book-shaped box already) I made a storage box for her things. I made the box look like it had a red leather cover, with gold accents and gilded pages, and titled it "Hermione Granger and the Prisoner of Azkaban"; the inside is lined with black felt and satin ribbon.
*blushes/winces*
You might say that I got a little carried away.

The 'resident photographer' at our studio took several pictures, which I'm hoping *crosses fingers* he'll e-mail to me tonight. I'm planning on posting them whenever I get them.
^_^
Well, just thought I'd share.
