(Finally) FINISHED!

So the dolly is finished! Now that she's done I'm naming her Hester.  I've added a lovely wool hat that's both wet and needle-felted and held on with a glass-topped hat pin.
















There's a beaded brooch on her lapel made of teeny glass beads, and she now has a necklace made of real dyed pearls.

Almost finished!

Dolly's almost done! She now has shoes made of leather and wool felt and a fully lined wool coat with real buttons! She also is sporting a fox pelt stole that is made of wool and lined underneath in hand-dyed silk.

And she has a friend; Anise the carrion crow.

All she needs is a couple of finishing touches and she'll be completed!

More Doll Clothes

I've finished the third layer of Dolly's clothes. She now has a cotton velvet dress trimmed in dark brown braiding, and a full pleated skirt made of wonderfully soft and thick cotton flannel trimmed in velvet ribbon.

Doll Underclothes

This morning I finished Dolly's undershirt, which go with her socks and panties ( I made those last night). For the fabric I used a used kid's t-shirt that I found at a Goodwill store. It was the perfect color, which I wanted to look kind of like old mummy wrappings. I'm especially pleased with the way the socks turned out, they will have no problem staying on, but are big enough to look stretched out and slouchy.
