Here is how mine looked after the painting and glazing, before her arms were attached, her wings created, or her clothing put together.
Here is Teri's doll at the same point.
I believe this one is Kelly's. Some clever person figured out that our detail brushes fit into the openings for the arms, and that made it very easy to hold the dolls while painting and glazing.
We used bits of fabric, lace, hankies, ribbon, layer upon layer, to form the outfits.
Here is mine, followed by Teri's and Pat's.
Although we all started out with the same doll, the way we painted and dressed them gave each a distinct personality. We used plain old acrylic paints, and Joanna demoed her painting techniques, including how to paint the delicate roses on the bunny hat. Painting the details of the face took a steady hand and a tiny brush.
I added a few things and took more pictures when I got home.
And then, in my box of miniature items, I found the perfect place for my bunny girl to live.
I made a very girly, adorable doll! Who'd a thunk it?????

Well, your doll is just fantastic!
It is so interesting to see how the same item in the end look so different from the other, I love to see this..
Thanks for sharing.

Oh my gosh! Eileen, she's such a sweet girl!! Love her!
This class turned out to be a diamond in the rough. And your bunny girl became as unique as her creator. Just when you least expect it, a creative opportunity sneaks up on you and steals your heart.
Eileen!!!! She us beautiful! THATS IT!!!!! I sm moving to New York!! Seriously though - I miss u guys.
Hello Eileen,
first .. seems you 3 had a great creative workshop again ! I wish I could do similar things too with a creative friend !
second... I'm not a biscuit doll person... but this bunny girls are soooo cute and cute enough to fit in my home !
really, really, I like she's a little bunny and you did paint the faces and the hat gorgeous. They all look perfect in their lace outfits.
Yours would also house perfectly in your lace book you did a while ago. I know I would put both on my pianodisplay :)
I would never be attempted to take such a workshop when I read about it, but seeing the results makes it so creative and personal and that's what I like about "workshops".
you three started with the same dolls but they grew into three unique personalities :)
a good workshop ànd you had a lot of joy together. What could one wish for more ?
greetings from Belgium

Please please someone have an online class for the bunny girl. I want to make them for my grandbabies
I love your bunny girl and would like to try one myself. Is the bisque doll you started with available to purchase somewhere? Is the class still being taught? Online?
Thank you
