I have used vintage lace, french braid to make her dress.
I have a few new ideas for this year. One of these is making and creating my own doll designs.
After reading a book recently about creativity I realised that I am best to put my efforts into my strengths and passions.
I am going to have these on my website ... not these little gals but others.. they will all be One Off dolls. Some will have the same face but their outfits will have quirky differences.
This little lady is named after a little girl I know who has ginger hair.
The dress is made from Lecien (available on my website) The crochet shoes, hat, flower and the pansies I made. The thread used for the pansies is a hand dyed yarn from a New Zealand hand dyer.
I am loving the diversity I give myself permission to have, in making these things that delight me!
Sweet Lisa..the dollies are so pretty. I am right there with you on the depression thing. Most people would never believe it when they see me, as I always have this smile plastered on my face. I've been to the doctor this month several times to have my meds. adjusted. I also bought a light for SADD, as my depression seems to always flare up this time of year. I hope you feel better!!
oh my those are truely beautiful dolls!
Oops I made an error in my previous post so here i go again. Keep doing what makes you happy Lisa, you are also making other people happy too! You are fortunate to have so many passions that you can follow. Enjoy!
