Last
month I won a prize from Tim Holtz and it was some of his fabric. I had no idea
what I was going to do with it until I pulled out my Father Christmas doll last
week and all of a sudden I had this idea to make another doll but this one is
going to be a Peddler of sewing and quilting supplies. He will have a brown
beard and brown hair and his clothes will be pieced from the Tim Holtz fabric I
won. His wife must be a quilter, right! I can’t wait to get started on it but
it will have to be in January as I’m still trying to get some quilts finished.
One
of my other daughters wanted a doll but she wanted a wizard…..and her favourite
colour has always been purple, so I made her one too.
I used the same pattern
but with a totally different look. The face comes plain and you have to add
your own beard and hair. I wanted his staff to have a fancy top so I glued on….are
you ready for this….the plastic ball from a used roll-on deodorant (washed of
course) and then added a heavy layer of Aileen’s tacky glue and then rolled it
in small beads and glitter. My daughter laughed like crazy when I told her what
the top was made from. She loves it.
There
are a couple of other dolls I’ve made but I’ll post them another day.
That’s
all for a Thursday.
Cheers
