The third prototype is made with 100% wool felt. The wiring method in the arms and legs has been figured-out. I have just a few pattern tweaks to make. Because she's not standing on her own. #artdoll #dollmaker #handmade #handsewn #woolfelt #originalpattern #originaldesign #workingartist #smallartbusiness

This piece is equal parts "this went right" and "that went wrong". On to prototype #3. #handmadeart #Dollart #artdoll #ooakdoll #recycledArt #felt #workingartist #originalpattern

I added some embroidery to the bones on the light green and coral doll arms and legs. The reason I don't edge these bones in a similar way as the skull faces, is because when stuffed, the edging stitches (stem stitch) will begin to pull away from the edge of the white bone. I don't like how it looks. So, I do something that's in the same colour, but in a different place, embroidery-wise. #handmade #felt #embroidery #ooakart #artdoll #originalpattern #smallartbusiness #workingartist

I completed the remaining four sets of arms and legs for the Day of the Dead themed dolls. Yay! #handmade #felt #applique #ooakdoll #artdoll #originalpattern #workingartist #smallartbusiness

I've finished this little doll yesterday. She's been given a name too! Gwen! There are a few small, fiddly things I want to do yet. Gwen won't be going into my shop. I don't think my heart could handle her languishing, unsold in my shop right now. #workingartist #wool #embroideryart #handmade #originaldesign #originalpattern #artdoll #smallartbusiness #beads #sequins

I worked on some small details on Betsy and Polly yesterday. Teensie bows for both. Then a tiny hat with embroidery and a collar for Polly. I'm almost done with the jar and lid cloches as well. #workingartist #smallartbusiness #artdoll #embroideryart #wool #sculpture #originalpattern
