Violet- girl doll #3

I know you aren’t suppose to have favorites amongst your babies but… so far, I’m loving this one! I think it’s her hair. There is always a certain amount of magic in this doll making thing- you can do the same thing on any number of dolls and sometimes it comes out better… well, and of course, sometimes it goes the other way- inexplicably yuck! 326violet.jpg

She is made of fulled (felted) woven wool. Her tutu is vintage cotton organdy. She is 19″ tall. Her hair is made of wool knit from a thrifted boiled wool vest. I also used it for Kitty 10 and it is almost all gone- too bad because I love the color.

  1. ooh, she is so beautiful! I love her hair, and her dress, and her flowers, the colours, she is another piece of art!

  2. I can’t remember, have you ever mentioned where you buy your wool? She is lovely, so springy! Here in Northampton it’s very foggy and springy this morning!

  3. These dolls are wonderful! Such fine detail. I aree with Shula, this style of hair in particular is really beautiful. What a great job :)

  4. You have excellent taste! I think she is gorgeous. I love the color and the delicate flowers. You definately see the love in your work.

  5. Just returned from teaching trip and had a moment to check your blog. My goodness! You’ve been busy. Your girl dolls are so personable and sweet. I love them. Violet, yes… well, shhhhhh, but I’d have to say she’s my favorite too… not just the hair, although it’s mighty cute.

  6. Hi there! I just wanted to make sure you’re aware that your blog is in the queue for the Fiber Arts Bloggers ring, because you don’t have any code up. I just sent you the code again–please let me know if you don’t get it? I’d love to get you back in the ring. :)
