Beautiful! I really love the hair – so clever. I have been using some of that pom pom trim (meant for trimming curtains and cushions I think) to make funny little pom pom / bun heads for dolls. I love your twisted fleece (is it?) – great :) Lovely colours too.

Mimi, I love this doll! She is one of your best ever. The hair is genius and the contrast of the green dress with the red stockings is gorgeous. Brava!

The hair! Oh my…that stitching around each of the little buns slays me. It’s so realistic. The colors you chose for the dress and the tights are so pretty too. Lovely, just lovely.

Mimi, her hair is WONDERFUL. I’ve done dolls with buns like this before and never once did it occur to me to embroider “the rest” of the doll’s hair. Brilliant!
