Night Lady
I imagine a guardian angel/fairy. The idea grew out of this baby. I guess it is suppose to work the other way around- creativity versus biology.
She has a sort of roaring twenties hat or crown thing going on. I love the felt roses. I will post a little tutorial on them later- lots of fun and very easy.
I made her thinking that she would hang on the wall.
I am having so much fun with the wool I dyed in January. I used some dyed angora sweater for the hair. And here are the wings-
I got a little frustrated with the wings. It took several tries. Some times the hardest thing to do is keep it simple.
I am having another attack of studio reorg. I have some great fabric for more tattooed guys- which ought to be happening soon- but I got it in January, I put it aside for later dyeing and now I can’t find it- ARG! Why does looking for fabric turn into clearing off bookcases and going through old magazines!

She is my favorite of all the dolls you’ve posted. She has the look of true wisdom.

Wow! She looks great…I love the dark dress with the stars (in felt?) and the tiny shoes. The embroidery on her face is terrific! Great eyes.

Ooh, I really like this one. She would make a lovely “Queen of the Night” in a production of the “The Magic Flute” circa 1920. The stars on the dress and her hair are particularly lovely!

[…] That’s what happened to me, right after I finished Night Lady. I had the doll that became Nature lady cut out and the machine stitching done. It was time to stuff, construct and embroider. Instead I started thinking about the next project in the line- more tattooed men. I need to gather the toile and dye it to flesh tones. I thought I would do that while working on the nature lady doll. yeah… […]
