Steampunk Doll

I've been sooo busy lately that I haven't been good about posting here. I promise to get better. I've been working on a Steampunk Doll for a DollStreet Dreamers challenge. She took a long time to finish. I don't know how these ladies do it so fast. One lady has made 2 in less then a month. I think mine took about 6 weeks to finish. lol Well anyway.
Her name is Octavia Oakley and she has a polymer clay face and a wired armature body that's been stuffed and sewn. Her hands are also cloth. Her outfit was originally a pleather jacket that I cut up and made into her vest, boots. Her pants and blouse are the silk lining from the jacket. then she has lace all around. Her hat is actually a styrofoam plate covered with the pleather and then with "steampunk" items glued on.
Now comes the hard part. I have to pack this baby and send it to the woman who will be taking them to the show. lol
