Hamlet and Ophelia dolls

A couple of prototype dolls. I think if I make more I'd make them a little larger, although I do like that they sit in your hand.

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee
What kind of pencil shall I use
2B or not 2B?


Hamlet is in mourning so his outfit is mostly black, but he still has to appear in court and he is sick of Claudius saying stuff like to persever in obstinate condolement is a course of impious stubbornness so he is wearing his blackest courtly jacket. But he wants you to know, he totally isn't feeling the red today.

My sleeve ruffs are marvelously over the top. I did think about redoing them a bit smaller, but damnit, I think they are cute!

Ophelia's crown of flowers broke and they are all over her dress and in her hair now. Also, she still wears her cross although she is starting to feel somewhat forsaken.


Face down in the black black water perhaps?

They aren't perfect but look at those little breeches! Also, no gibes, gambols or songs for the chap on the left. Not now.
