forest fairy tale girl
Hurray- girls again! I am excited about this doll and the 3 more I am working on.
I have had this idea for girl dolls in my head since last summer- forest, woodland, fairy tale, wood nymph… I am not really sure what words to use. Sort of a darker, more secret version of Little Red Riding Hood?
Here she is without her shawl-

I absolutely love the fabric for her overdress! Is it felted from a sweater? All the woodsy colors in it are fantastic.

yes, it is one of those printed sweaters- wool/angora blend, felted. I’ve been saving it, just for this!

sweet! I love her colors as well – but is the bangs that do it for me. You have outdone yourself again!

I love the shoelaces, the cable knit socks and that sweet collar on her dress. And those serious eyes – she’s a beauty!

I love the extra detail you have put on the eyes. It really works! Her expression is beautiful.

Isn’t there a story of a child that lost a red mitten in the woods? She looks like she lost both her mittens. She is wonderful.

Mimi, her bangs hanging down over one eye are the best!

I can almost breathe in the forest as I look at her, all cosy and mossy. And her expression suggests to me that she is drinking her surroundings with her eyes filling herself up with wonderment.

As soon as I saw the picture, I flashed on the name of a storybook character, and then immediately forgot it. Drat! I’ll get back to you if it comes back to me. Anyway, she’s beautiful.

Your skill never ceases to amaze me. I love the hair, and the perfect stitched on face. The color palette is wonderful, too.

I love that lacey looking collar that is hiding beneath her shawl. Can’t wait to see the other 3!

I just love your dolls, the details on this one are so pretty! I think I saw you walking down your street the other day- I live in the neighborhood near Menotomy. Have a good one,
