I typically use sheep's wool for hair on all my dolls but discovered this wonderful crinkly synthetic hair and used it on Little Girl #3. Isn't she a doll? (no pun intended)

Lovey

Well first doll I made from my own pattern is finished. I am calling her "Lovey". I have incorporated all the forms that I love about primitive dolls, i.e. long skinny legs, big feet and I prefer for them to have fingers versus the mitten hands. Her face is machine sculpted which becomes easier the more you do however I think the next doll will have a pancake face and I will paint her features on.

Lovey's underskirt was made from a used shear curtain and I added lace to the bottom that I found at a thrift shop. Her dress is made from left over material from another project. Her hat is a little unusual, I have been making so many witches hats lately the shape just drew itself. The bling around her hat I still am not sure about. May have to find something a little smaller and not so flashy.

I have great respect for all those designers out there, especially all those designers who come up with such unique and wonderful designs. I am going to try a few more of my own designs, perhaps a witch, and see what happens. Right now I don't think that pattern making is my forte.

I believe in Angels

Here are pictures of the angels I have made so far from cloth and clay. I love angels and hope to have my Etsy shop overflowing with them.

Angels are always memorable because they never forget what really matters. Angels are bright lights in the midst of our lives. Author unknown
