edie the elf

 sharing my current work in progress today

a new waldorf inspired doll with a knitted body and a needle felted head complete with scrummy pink curly hair.

Edie is only part done, i now have to decide what kind of outfit she needs to complete her look wish me luck...

Edie is approximately 12"(30cms) tall and has beautiful green embriodered eyes very rosy cheeks and a lovely smile.

i decided to create Edie wearing a pair of tights rather than giving her a complete skin tone knitted body (just to mix it up a bit).

i also added a pair of elf style ears (pictured above) but i have since removed them as her hair style hid them and they didn't look right..

her hair has been sewn direct onto her head and i am really pleased with the finished result. 

so over the next few days or so i will be concentrating on her outfit.

but already

 whirling around in my imagination will be a truer style of waldorf inspired doll.

her hair will be carrot red using a bebe weft that was delivered today from little okie dolls
