The piece is\u00a0meant for an exhibition with the theme \u201cOn the Wings of the Wind\u201d and the\u00a0original title for the piece was \u201cI believe I can\u00a0fly\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So, I came up with the idea of a box with a bird head in front and the tail in\u00a0the back and the doll on top holding bridles.<br \/>\nAnd wheels.<br \/>\nI couldn\u2019t find proper wheels but found the legs. So far so good. Bird legs\u00a0might even be better than wheels.<\/p>\n<p>Oops, do we need wings? Yes, wings will add to\u00a0the composition of the piece. How to attach them took a while.<\/p>\n<p>The colors. So many choices.Took me days. I was gathering piles of fabrics and\u00a0throw them out\u00a0again.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/marlaineverhelst.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/27\/how-i-made-my-new-piece\/klein-4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1199\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1199\" src=\"http:\/\/marlaineverhelst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/klein-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"319\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The painting of the face. The color of the lips changed several times.<br \/>\nEyebrows. So many choices. These are the fifth pairs. A row of white dots below\u00a0the eyebrows. No! Not good! Wipe it off.<\/p>\n<p>The torso. The first one was too short because there need to be space for the\u00a0elbows. Either put something under it or make a new torso. I made a new\u00a0torso. And a third one to fit better in the box.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/marlaineverhelst.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/27\/how-i-made-my-new-piece\/klein2-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1200\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1200\" src=\"http:\/\/marlaineverhelst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/klein2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"425\" height=\"319\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The clothes. The main fabric, a goldish pleated one, did not work. The\u00a0blue fabric with the dots had to stay but moved from top front to lower arms.\u00a0The total pile of embellishments went back in the embellishment box: too much.<\/p>\n<p>The hair and the hat. This blue fringe was my original choice but then I found a\u00a0dark\u00a0orange mohair. And went back to the blue again. For the hat I wanted a flyer\u2019s\u00a0cap, so I made several out of leather. Blue ones and grey ones. All no good.<\/p>\n<p>The collar. There was a choice out of four. This one definitively is the best.<\/p>\n<p>The color of the box. It needed to be darker than the clothes of the doll. That\u00a0went\u00a0quite smooth.<\/p>\n<p>Not the bird. The bird got all kinds of shades of blue: too dark, too\u00a0pale, too bright, too flat. The colors around the eyes changed several times\u00a0too.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/marlaineverhelst.com\/blog\/2017\/08\/27\/how-i-made-my-new-piece\/dscn8716kl\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1201\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1201\" src=\"http:\/\/marlaineverhelst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/DSCN8716kl.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"425\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Almost finished, but the bridles did not work at all and the hands were made\u00a0to hold bridles. So what else? A brush fitted in so the title of the piece had\u00a0to\u00a0be changed. I made the brush dotted first but took that off again.
