The body is finished.
I made three heads. I still can't decide which one to use. I hope you can help me decide.
Here is Sarita with the head #1. If you look at the picture the pattern, you notice that the head is twice the width of the body. In the pattern, it looks great! But when I see my tiny doll with that huge head it just doesn't look right to me.
So, I made head #2. Not as big as the other one, but still big. This one is my husbands favorite.
Finally, I made head #3 which seems to be more proportioned to her body. I know that one of the things that make amigurumis unique and cute is their disproportioned head and body. But I think I like my dolls to be a little bit more realistic.
What's do you think? Should I keep head #1, #2 or #3? Picture the head with the braided hair. It might help you with the decision :)
Anyway, I have to go and pick my mom at the airport. TTYL
Hmmm...I think head #1 would make the doll look just like the one pictured in the pattern. It does look a little big, but I think once the hair is on and the head is attached, it will be really cute.
ReplyDeleteHead #2 is most proportional for the body. Either one would work well. Good luck!
I would go with #2, just from what my gut finds aesthetically pleasing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress by the way!
I vote for head #2 - keeping in mind what true amigurumis should look like - some features are exaggerated and out of proportion like you said. She's so beautiful. Your attention to detail is remarkable. The blouse and skirt came out so beautiful.
ReplyDelete#1 gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the comments! Head #2 is the winner! Making the hair is going to be my challenge...I still need to come up with a body for the other two heads :)
