Phoebe

This is Phoebe. She is the first doll that I've made in a couple of years. When I first started my now-not-so-new job, my work commitments did not allow me to continue with my doll making adventure. Work during then have been very challenging and exciting. I welcomed it with open arms because I am always hoping to push myself up a notch creatively.

Anyways, back to Phoebe. She is my first attempt at a realistic fashion doll. I wanted to Phoebe to be fashionably streetwise and daring with colours. Somehow, while I am making this doll, I keep thinking of Vivienne Westwood, one of my favourite designer during college days.

So this is what sums Phoebe up:
Character : Psychedelic, Party girl
Loves : Colours, Pop Culture, 80's Brit pop
Philosophy in life : Express oneself, live in the moment

A wonderful book in which I used the patterns for Phoebe
