Silk Ribbon dolls reticule

Here is a quick pic of the dolls reticule I promised earlier today. 

It is for my doll Lily, which is a pattern I have been trying to rework. It is one of my earliest patterns, and the doll hair I used then is no longer available. I have tried to recreate the hairstyle using hair that is available today but I am not having much luck. Now I'm considering re-releasing the pattern with a bonnet. Seems like kind of a cop-out, but like I said, the hairstyle is almost impossible with what is available today.

Here she is:

 This is with the old hair, which was an awesome spun wool which was curled in a coil, and was all in one long piece. So with the new wool. which is shorter pieces, I could do a bonnet with a little hair showing at the top. I don't know, perhaps I'll keep exploring the yarns available out there.

This is Ruby!

I am quite enamored of her!

She will be about 28 inches tall. 

I'm trying to decide if she will have a bonnet, a hat or if I'll just continue with her hair.

 I love the way her face came out-I used acrylic paint and colored pencil. 

Still one of my favorite techniques!

Folk doll joy!!

PDF Patterns in my Etsy Shoppe

I spent a good deal of time the last few days converting most of my doll patterns to a PDF format. 

They are now available in my Etsy Shoppe as E-patterns. 

This is such a quick and convenient way to buy new doll patterns. 

The pattern prices are a little lower, and there is NO shipping fee!

I have it set up so that as soon as I receive payment I will send the pattern file to you. 

You will never have to wait more than 24 hours, and in most cases it will be sooner than that. 

I am in the habit of checking my mail several times a day.

So grab a cup of your favorite beverage and have a look at my 

Etsy Shoppe!
