MINI ME
(2025)
Mini me was a venture to make a puppet version of myself. She is styled to look just like me in one of my favorite outfits and signature glasses. I started with a simple wire armature and created a felt lining around it to act as the base of the armature. I then proceeded to buff up and sculpt the puppet with stuffing by needle-feting the figure. After bulking, I needle-felted the outfit and details such as the face and hair.
I also sewed a small but strong magnet into a pouch, which I then sewed onto the bottom of both her feet to allow her to stand on metal surfaces for posing. Final details, such as embroidered seams and pockets on the trousers, along with sewn-on buttons, were added to enhance the doll's intricacy. Finally, I made a tiny pair of glasses with wire and painted them with acrylic to match my own.​
