good morning crafters and welcome to my share for today.
this is Minnie the manikin a handmade natural fibre art doll that i will use to model all my hand made clothes, this gives me a head start on a little ready made wardrobe to choose from when i complete any future 12" handmade dolls.
like the dress Minnie is modelling today..
Minne is staying with me as my super cute manikin, her body, her arms, her legs and her head are not sturdy enough as i haven't used enough stuffing in her body or used enough wool on her felted features, i'm still getting to grips with all that.
Minnie is so darn cute with her hand made auburn bebe weft wig.
this was one style of weft i was really looking forward to using and i'm now on the look out for some more...
