Alice: Steampunk-Inspired

[captainfantastic]

For anyone who didn't follow my last (still unfinished) custom, my "thing" is Alice-themed dolls. All in all, I'm going to have a series of four or five of them, inspired by various friends of mine (American McGee's was inspired by my friend Chelsea). This custom was inspired and co-designed by my sister-in-law, and it's been a lot of fun and hard work, especially the skirt of her dress. So, here is my from-the-ground-up custom "Steampunk Alice".

(PS- She's not technically "done". Yes, I know the wig looks like a hot mess. ; I do plan on fixing that, I was just too excited to wait until I had it all fixed up to post her. Eventually, she'll also have a teacup and saucer as a top hat...but my pottery skills are so-so. The eye is made up of various watch parts, joined together to make an "eye", with a hand-painted pupil. I originally planned to do this for both eyes, but didn't have enough parts to match them. Therefore, the Frara eye might still prove to be temporary. She also needs her gloves, boots, and tiny little clock/ascott... but I wanted to share her anyway, since she's so close to being done.)
