another forest girl

All covered with her cape-

Sneak peak of her brighter clothes underneath-

Here she is without her cape-

I played with a new way of making hair- several layers of wool.

Here is her cape, laid out. You can see her skirt and underskirt, which is made of another printed sweater of an angora/wool blend- so soft.

And here are the 2 girls together. These girls are making me very happy.

    Wow. Why would a girl want a Barbi doll when she could have one of these? Do children play with your dolls…or are they intended for grown-ups? I love to visit these pages and step into the world of your imagination. love, Beth
