hi and good morning to all
popping in today to share a new very special Waldorf doll that i have slowly been making this year.
on this post the doll is still at a work in progress stage with a few more things that need to be added.
the completed doll will be shared at a later date.
in the doll making process i do still however have a huge problem with crochet and crocheting a weft but after watching a you tube video by polly wally do dah i have come up with my own variation. i have knitted/made a skull cap and i've carefully sewn the weft onto the cap using some of the techniques from the video and then once the wig was completed i have pinned and sewn the cap onto the doll and i am so pleased with the finished result.
one day i will share the process with you all...in the mean time i need to find a hard ball that is a similar size to the dolls heads i make to enable me to easily sew the weft onto the knitted skull cap, and then pin and securely sew the wig onto the doll..
the wig needs to be trimmed..
todays doll has been made using a pattern i have from a north coast dolls workshop i attended last year, i am so glad i went. i met some very lovely ladies and Meglene is a very patient and lovely teacher.
