Photo Journal: Addisyn's Birthday Doll



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!
