So, Michael and his painting and all has got me all inspired and motivated, and I needed a gift for my cousin's little girl Addisyn's 1st Birthday. So, perfect timing, right?
Apparently, it's even better for me than I thought to spend time with fellow artists!
DAY 1:
A good start on the first wing.
DAY 2, 3:
Realized the original wing layout was not going to work and frogged quite a bit of work and redid it for a much better result.
DAY 4:
Feet and legs are done, including cuffs on pants which will match shirt!
DAY 5:
Body is finished, including sleeve and hem ruffles on shirt. Heart design on shirt is simple colorwork rather than embroidery.
DAY 6:
All crochet work is done, most ends are finished, wings attached. Note shoulder straps. She is not a pixie or a fairy, but a little girl wearing butterfly wings.
DAY 7:
Finished doll. Light hair and blue eyes like the recipient!
All in all, it was great to be making a doll again, so thank you to Michael for the motivation and Jeremy and Sue for the occasion!
And, BONUS! She was a huge hit!
