Let's start showing the dolls I made as wedding favors in my own wedding. I wanted to give away something meaningful for them so I wanted the favors to be customized to each guest's likes and fandoms.
I want to start with my amigurumi version of Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. If you remember, this was a character which was really famous in the 80s, with her own films, TV show and videogames. My friend Raquel is a huge fan of her and her looks, so it was easy to decide which was going to be her gift.
Here's a pic of the original Elvira, just in case you don't remember her by just her name:
I tried to reproduce the pale color of her skin in face hands and cleavage. The legs are darker as if she was wearing nylon tights. I'm not sure if you can see in these pics but she also has black garters in her legs.
Of course, the heavy make up was really important to complete her looks. (Oh, the 80s! no nude colors back then....) She needed a dark and out of the eye eyeliner and heavy coat of bright pink blush. I tried it by embroidering the eye contour and long eyelashes and applying real blush to the doll (pink MAC blush, to be precise)
The skirts of the dress was made of felt so she could shown her legs through the lateral cuts, She also has a belt decorated with a knife charm, imitating the one the real Elvira carried .
Unfortunally, the doll's hair has not the same volume as it was supposed (again, oh the 80s!), but I think it looked fine like that.
I'm really glad that Raquel liked her doll a lot.What do you think?
