Copper and Black Barbie

Copper and Black Barbie

This is one of the Barbies I bought from Toy R Us.  I think the fabric I used is gorgeous.  I had a small remnant from a vest I made for my brother,  Dr.Kaboom,  and I kept draping it around the doll trying to maximize the impact of the embroidery and sequins.  So the bodice is a tube with the best of the motif centered.  I cut the bodice long so I could get a repeat of the embroidery.   The rest of the remnant is gathered into a skirt.  The copper-coloured sequins against the black sparkle beautifully.  Copper is an under-rated metal in my opinion.  Look at the Parliament buildings, the Chateau Laurier and the wall inside the War Museum in Ottawa.
