Originally written for Confessions of a Jackaholic. WIP images and information can be found there.
Finally finished my Captain Jack Sparrow voodoo doll from Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides.
I had a difficult time with the head and face, but after more than a half dozen attempts at it in a variety of mediums, I finally achieved what was my only goal--to have a head and face that I was not totally ashamed of.
This is one of those projects that, for me, the whole isn't greater than the sum of the parts. It is quite the opposite, I like all the parts individually more than I like the whole doll. I'm especially fond of the little belt and baldric with its tiny frog! And the little shirt, it is made historically accurate, even though all you can see in the finished doll is the collar and a bit of the cuffs.
I didn't have and still have not found the right kind of fabric for the frock coat and waistcoat, so I may re-make Little Jack one of these days, but for right now, I'm finished with him!
Little Belt and Baldric
Little Clothes
Little Frock coat and Waistcoat
Little Boots
Finished Dolly - I did weather him, really I did, but still he is a bit bright and newish looking.
But I think I will just let him age naturally.
