forest sprite

This doll is what I’d imagined for my autumn color inspired girls. She has finally showed up!

She also has felted wool roving dreadlocks. They look completely different from the ones on Flower child. I used different kinds of wool- not on purpose. I have a bag of mixed colors of roving and there was a small ball of black- I think merino wool. I divided up the wool into “snakes” and ran them through the washing machine. They came out looking like slugs. Not what I was expecting, but I love them.

    I love the curly leaves that are so evocative of fallen leaves. And the striped socks with those stylish ankle boots. Perfect! Thanks for giving me a smile today :D
