I got started with this design, thinking about heart-shaped leaves. And it goes from there!
The back is plain except around the neckline.
And why is she a “Fairy” Grandmother? Here are her wings-
I hope the trim around her neck looks like little puffy clouds.
Close-ups-
Little hands-
Flower shoes-
How do you like her cable sweater hair? :-)
It is fun to pick out the fabrics for the kitties- fuzzy, tweedy, knit.
All the kitties and then some close-ups.
Little shoes with bows.
She is looking for the elusive birds, hiding in the leaves.
She has sweet little boots.
A curl in her hair. And a cloud collar.
This is sort of a combination Tiny World pincushion and Lady Pillow doll :-)
Smoke on her shoulder-
And her little boots.
I will be putting these 3 into my etsy shop today.
It is fun to be back to make my ladies! They all feel a little like self-portraits :-)
Assorted kitties. And a toy mouse!
It is fun to be getting back to some wool applique again- it has been a long while!
Making this lovely lady with her tropical flowers was a treat when the weather here in Chicago was not getting over 2 degrees F!
Last year was all about settling in to my new studio. I didn’t finish anything until mid-March! Still, I finished 50 dolls and 14 Tiny Worlds: a low total compared to many other years but I’m happy with where I am. I am slowing down and I am fine with that.
14 Tiny Worlds-
10 Fish Pillows and 10 Kitties-
17 Men-
And one mermaid in that block because 13 ladies-
So many designs that I hope to get to this year- Babies, Lady Pillow dolls, Owls! I am back at work so hopefully I will be posting new work soon.
I’d been hoping to get this fellow finished before the end of last year but nope: now he is first of 2025.
He is very dark brown. My camera kept washing him out but hopefully these photos will do him justice.
He is tattooed with tropical flora. And an antique button.
