Doppelganger – Rebecca Enright

For the doppelganger project I recreated a smaller, stuffed version of my balloon dog eraser. I liked the idea of stuffing something that is normally filled with air, and tried to keep the roundness of the dog via stuffing it. It mostly worked, though I also stuffed it with garbage bags because, since it was able to fit inside my hand, I wanted to see if I could recreate the kind of foam texture that came from using garbage bags in the push pull projects. Since it was smaller and I rolled up the garbage bags though, it instead became stiffer than I thought it would.

In terms of the sewing, I did it by hand. I also made a little jacket for it, partially because I disliked how the seam looked when the neck and body came together, but also because it seemed like it needed a pop of color. In the future, I might make more little clothes for it (potentially a tutu), and I might try this project again but make it bigger instead of smaller.
