I am in love with these two little girls.
They aren't finished yet but I can't wait to show you.
They are my favorites so far.
Take a peek. I'm curious to know what you think!
Named after my oldest daughter... Ashley is almost complete.
I love her hair, a combination of hand-dyed and hand spun, wool, silk and curly mohair locks.
Ashley is my 9th doll. She is my first creation to give me a feeling of perfection.
Everything about her has fallen into place perfectly.
Her arms, legs and body shape were born in my mind, then I sketched her onto paper.
I imagined a new way to attach her arms and as I stuffed them with wool she came together effortlessly. From start to finish, she has been a dream.
When I hold her in my arms I am completely pleased with her.
She will be dressed in hand embroidered linen and
which my mailman delivered from England.
Next... how about a peek at my bitty baby? She's just learning how to walk.
I loved crocheting her tiny shoes from pearl cotton.
Because it was my first time, each shoe took me 8 hours to complete.
My two sweethearts will be available for purchase in Our Etsy Shop on August 20th.
I can't wait to show you more!!!
I'm curious about what happened to Ashley? I never saw her on the Etsy page. Did she sell right away?
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your inquiry about Ashley. She sold via facebook. I have reordered the hand spun yarn for her hair and have all of the supplies to make another Ashley (somewhat similar, not exactly the same) We will post photos of her a week before she is uploaded.
I am in the process of completing 3 dolls with similar styles and hope to have them finished within the next ten days.
If you sign up to receive updates via email you won't miss her.
Thanks again,
This is Alyce, your happy dollmaker!
