waldorf inspired doll with new clothes

good morning crafters.

sharing a new outfit i have created for one of my Waldorf inspired dolls.

i have in my stash lots of yarns including lace, 4ply sock yarn, kid-silk haze to name a few and my doll has been waiting for her new outfit for a while as i couldn't decide what i was going to make let alone which pattern i was using.

so i decide to use two of my MJT patterns with a little variation (dress and coat)

i have knitted shoes, dress, coat, scarf and beret and she is now ready for her travels where ever they may take her.

a little photo journey of her ensemble

shoes

hair ribbons & coat

her dress

and my final photo is the beginning of a new Waldorf inspired doll that has a knitted body.

all of the clothes and knitted doll body are inspired from MJT patterns with the exception of the scarf, beret and shoes.

all this week i had been planning on making cards but i got carried away with knitting hey ho there's always next week for card making....

all the yarns used are from a variety of sources including:

eden cottage yarns (titus lace)

west yorkshire spinners (4ply sock yarn)

and 

rowan kidsilk haze

the dolls body has been knitted with:

toft fine oatmeal (skin tone) & cream (knickers)

and i am currently needle felting her head.

i love the tacktile feel of all the yarns used especially the toft fine that i have used for my next dolls body.

thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day 

and always

craft happy, Ann

 

happy birthday

 

hi and good morning crafters

popping in today with another card project using 

Stampingbellas: Whitney & Wendy love wine

i've gone for a shabby chic style birthday card again adding a little texture onto my mintay papers plus i've also daubed a little opal magic onto my dried stencil area that gives the paper a little shine/shimmer.

the papers have been edged with walnut stain and scrapped to give the vintage feel which i have also done around my stamped sentiments.

for the card layout i have die cut the papers with my circle dies to create a peek-a-boo style base and i have stained the inside edge of the circle cut outs.

there is still alot for me to improve on creating a mixed media card but the girls look like they are having a blast..

i've also added a little opal magic to my flowers..

inside my card

i've done a little masking to create two stamped sentiments.
