In my mixed media/art club, we had a "Black & White" challenge. (This club is for all type of art -- not just dolls.)
I had lots of ideas for a black and white theme, but I kept coming back to "zebra". To me, a ZEBRA print is the epitome of glamour, high camp, and a bold statement. I mean, when you wear zebra, everyone is looking at YOU!
This style of coat is called a "Cocoon" Coat, and is from one of my favorite periods - the "Teens". 1910 to 1918 is the period "My Fair Lady" is done in. Also - "Downton Abby" and "Titanic".
This doll is about 22 inches tall, so I was lucky to find a zebra print in this scale (it also has a small nap to it).
Hats of that period were either very tall, or very wide.
I added the red jewel just to throw off the color scheme a bit.
Enjoy! -AB

I'm just finishing a textile art piece that's black and white also. I used a hounds tooth print and was really lucky to find the right scale for it. I also included some red features... We must be in same wave length...lol Love the doll Arley, the print is fabulous and you gave her that gorgeous face we've all come to know and love. Challenges are great, it helps keep those little grey cells happy.
Thanks Romona! Yes, I love to do challenges. It's like "creative problem solving" for me.
