One doll finished and quick a few mistakes were made.
But that’s how I learn so I’m not stressed.
I changed the hair from the pattern. I think it looks good. Ana will like it no matter
What it looks like
The skirt is supposed to have a flower embroidered on it.
And it did. Until I realised I had placed the flower on the back instead of the front.
I definitely need to go smaller needles. I’ve made that mistake before
But on the plus side. She’s not the size of a toddler, yes I have made two dolls like that
A lesson in reading the pattern properly
I stared the dark brown for her hair too early. And her whole face is brown.
Another no matter she’s fine for us moment
So a very successful trial.
So a very successful trial.
I’ve learnt lots
She was still fun to make
And now I can keep practicing until I make one that is fit to donate
Today I have a lunch date with my Aussie friend I made on my tour of
Scotland and Ireland.
Hubby is down at the farm doing some maintenance on the tractor
If he takes too long he’ll stay the night and drive home early tomorrow
Which means I’ll have a whole uninterrupted evening to
Continue the classes on doll making
Boud has informed me that if you wish to see the finish Izzy dolls
She has made you need to check out the blog post dated
November 27. The link to her blog is in the previous post
So why not give it a go.
Even if you mess it up. They’re still kinda cute
These dolls are so fun to learn and make. I agree that only the best are good to donate. They might go to a child with few toys, so it's good to give them something really nice.
ReplyDeleteBrown faces are fine! Most of the kids I send you to are dusky to brown, so it's a doll that looks like its person.
You really got into this fast.
It’s no so much the brown face. It’s the light beige neck that makes it look weird
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteWell done. I looked up the pattern and will start one today
ReplyDeleteIt been sometime since I made a doll.
