Creating the Owl Shaman Doll

Slideshow and Tutorial:

 

 

 

The Owl Head 

 

is made of canvas.

 

 

 The Heads are shaped

 

 and the faces are sketched in

 

  Black acrylic paint is used to darken around the eyes

 

and outline feathering areas

 

Loosely woven fabrics are added

 

First the black faux fur, closest to the eyes,

 and then  tufts of other colors are added

 

 Adding color to the eyes...

Orange on top, 

yellow on the bottom, blended.

 

More black, more depth

white dot in the center of the pupil

 

more fur

 

and continue adding more depth and more fur

 

add accessories

 

 

 

 

 

(this dollmaker never uses feathers due to their rapid rate of deterioration)
