Meet my new babies. I haven't named them yet.
I decided to do something different with them. I used black denim sewing thread to make eyelashes. This is a technique I took from a cloth doll artist name Judy Ward. What a cleaver and great idea huh! A Pdf tutorial on making the eyelashes is posted on the bottom of this page. I'm teaching it using my own technique because I believe it's more secure.
Check out her two front teeth...so-o-o-o-o cute.
Delightful dolls! They have such beautiful faces. I've taken a couple of Judi Ward's online classes, and they are the best; she is a wonderful dollmaker and teacher.

These are just too cute! Thanks so much for the compliments on my dolls and blog - and, congratulations on your win for Daniella in the Baby Doll Contest - I especially like her little umbrella!
ReplyDeleteHi! Glad to see you came by and your name is in for the give away. Thank you for the nice compliments. The material I use for my dolls is muslin that I tea or coffee dye. I also add a little vanilla.
ReplyDeleteYour dolls are so precious. I'll be back and check your blog later and good luck on the give away.
Blessings,

you are very good.
ReplyDeleteI can't resist. I am goin to follow you!
OH these are just darling little babies..You have such an awesome talent!! You make me jealous..I have loved dolls ever since I went to a Steiner Shula craft sale in Zurich Switzerland and bought a hand made doll..I admit I was 23 years old but had never had a real hand made doll before and I fell in love with her..That was over 30 years ago! I think Im in love with your little dolls and want them all but I know I could never make them come out as nice as yours! bjgates Schoharie NY
