Project #4: Red Riding Hood

Red Riding Hood was the doll I went through the eyeball fiasco for. I really wanted her to have green eyes and, after about 2 or 3 hours of creative trauma, finally had them.

She is not an official Creepy Cute doll but she is based on a combination of 2 or 3 patterns. I used the body pattern of the skeleton bride and the head of the grim reaper (ha ha, yeeeeeah!) then made the cape impromptu. I intended to make a basket for her to carry (also sans pattern) but was never quite satisfied with what I did.

She's okay, I guess. I think the altered creepy patterns was a good idea but she just isn't as Cute because, I think, she's completely lacking the Creepy. For whatever reason, when other people see her, they tend to favor her the most... But I guess she's just not my thing. I like wierd. I like adorably sinister. She's not any of that.
