north coast dolls workshop clacton on sea

hi and good morning to all
 
back to share photo's from my recent North Coast Doll workshop over the spring bank holiday weekend with Meglena in Clacton on sea as promised.


i have to admit i was concentrating so much that i didn't take any photo's of my dolls progress until the end. i am throughly amazed with the doll i created and i also learned some valuable new techniques including crocheting a weft, needle felting the body, head and facial features to stuffing the doll. 
 

the workshop was hosted by Anita in her home and her generosity was off the scale with the two lunches that she provided including home made quiche's and lemon drizzle cake, they were scrummy. it was lovely to meet my fellow students Naomi, Yve and Giovanna. i am exhilarated and exhausted and what's worst was i forgot to switch my alarm off on bank holiday monday, we were woken at 5:15 so i didn't get the lie in i was hoping for.


to my surprise Meglena had provided a dress for the all the dolls that were created over the two intensive days but i had taken with me a little pixie hat and matching dress i had made.


the doll is complete with a turning head, bum cheeks and a beautiful honey blonde weft wig, there are a few things i need to improve on and to make a pair of brief's and socks and possibly a cardigan.


and finally i would like you all to meet
Gwendolyn.
thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day
and craft happy, Ann
