Dolly Dingle Views

General Goods

The Craft Fair next door to Expo was great. You and Bets made a killing with those dolls. Good for you. I love the bling I got and the deal I got on my one Dingle Dolly. Hope to see you guys on Tuesday depending on Kari. If I don't I'll have to take Bets out for lunch another day like I did last year! That's her birthday photo on her blog from last year.

For those special occasions when ordinary wine glasses aren't quite good enough, dress up your table and enhance your enjoyment with the Dolly Dingle wine glasses. Each stem is a replica of its corresponding figurine in the Dolly Dingle series. They are 2-1/4a" high and depict Dolly Dingle and her friend Billy Bumps in the traditional dress of Germany, Italy, Spain, and Holland. Each goblet with its glass bowl and base measures 6-1/2u" tall.

Dolly Dingle's eyes are a mounded half-circle with a slightly down-drooping lower line. The top of her eye is a little less than halfway up her face from her chin. The eyebrows are set very high on the head. The mouth is just a small line with two curved cheek marks. The nose is as shown. Draw these.

Now, with your eraser, significantly lighten all of your pencil marks until they are almost invisible and will only serve as faint guides. Again, mine are heavier marks that I would normally draw. With a peach colored pencil, color in Dolly Dingle's whole face except for the whites of her eyes. Then, with a carmine colored pencil, create the circular cheeks with a small spot left unreddened for shine. The nose is a carmine oval with a spot left for a shine. The chin is shaped like a carmine comma. Try to shade carefully and lightly with the carmine pencil.
