Witch Doll

I just finished this little doll yesterday. I consider the doll finished, but the project isn't. But my friend Starr was chomping at the bit for a look at her. So here she is.

With her treat bucket, broom and crystal hanging from her belt, she is ready for action!!

I've been meaning to try a little doll for ages, so finally, I thought it's time to do this. Making dolls is a fun change. While constructing this one I remembered how many little things needed for this type of project. I enjoy looking for different ways to solve the problems.  This doll has a needle felted head. Actually she looked a lot scarier before I put the features and the hair on. Now she just looks like a nice, little witch, but very serious about this Halloween business!

My intention is to make a background for her to be attached to.

I hope to work on that soon, but first a couple other things get attention, like my September Journal project. It's coming and will be done soon!

Needlefelting

 

I made 2 nests and 1 mushroom.  These are my first little projects with needle felting, but likely not my last!   I glued them on to pieces of cherry wood.   For the nests I made little branches of wire sticking out from the sides.  They look a bit odd in the pictures, but much better in person!  The eggs are polymer clay.  The mushroom is best in my opinion, and so I think I will make more of them.  It was fun to play around a bit!
