good morning crafters.
sharing a new hot off the needles so to speak a natural fibre art doll whom i've named Amelia.
it seems like ages ago when i spent the weekend in clacton for the spring bank holiday to learn the skills of making a doll with an articulated head and how to firmly stuff the body with Meglena of North Coast Dolls and my fellow students, thankfully most of it sunk in, my doll is stunning if i do say so myself. there are still somethings i need work on but it amazes me how a piece fabric, a pattern, roving wool, various threads and a weft turns into something so beautiful. i also have to say a hands on workshop is a must to all prospective doll makers.
Amelia is now waiting for a new outfit which will be made hopefully over the next few weeks, hopefully i won't be side tracked.

early stages of the doll making process. the wrong way around lol.
i decided as soon as i'd added the head to her torso i would add her locks..
below Amelia's articulated head in different positions
Amelia is complete with a beautiful black curly weft which has been sewn on direct as i still can't master crocheting a wig and she has beautiful blue eyes complete with very rosy cheeks..
when Amelia is finally finished i will share photo's
inspiration as always comes from:
north coast dolls
