That is one of the songs that Carmen sings in the opera bearing her name. And here she is . . .
For those that read my question of a couple of weeks ago, you can see I went with the hair all down - and mildly tamed!
Carmen is wearing two ruffled petticoats. I really gave my ruffler attachment a workout with these! Yes, I'm still loving that toy!!
Carmen was made using Arley Berryhill's Le Femme pattern. She is actually one of my UFOs, since I made her for a class I took from Arley several years ago (six? seven?). This pattern is one that my doll club chose to make this year and I decided now was the time to finally get busy and finish this doll!
Now, Carmen and Aengus are off to the State Fair. Wish them luck! (Don't they make a pair?)

Carmen is gorgeous! Love the pose with the skirt in one hand and a rose in the other.
Those two are going to be excellent competitors at the fair. They are clearly prize-winning material.
She's beautiful, Liz! Really. Good luck at the fair. I can't imagine anything better than either one of these people.
She's lovely! I don't know which bit I like best, her corset or her petticoats. I have to get one of those rufflers!
She is a wonderful gal.
