Scroll, scroll, scroll.
That was a reeeeeeeeeeeaaally long post. This one shall not be. I'm just posting the doll I made (as predicted) while watching TV.

She's Tsinali, and a fairly random one at that, but she counts as something of a story doll because she is a culture study of sorts. She's a musician (well, obviously) and has the appropriate face-markings, blue for performing arts. I got kind of lazy by the time I shaded the skirts, but the blouse is rather intricately decorated in typical Tsinali fashion. Tsina decorate absolutely everything. I imagine that all Tsinali-made violins have blue trim. Note also the large amount of jewelry which is fairly standard as well.

I've just decided that her name is "Ganali" which means "high" (in elevation, as in vertical distance from the ground) because she has remarkably long legs.



Okay, so really I just wanted to try one of these cool musical bases. I think this is the biggest doll I've ever done. I begin to understand why people who have been making dolls for a while use so many different and unusual bases—one gets bored and feels like trying something new.
