teeny weeny



TINY waldorf dolls are easy and fast to make. These two took one afternoon -- and an evening. The hair took the longest time as I had to hook each strand onto the cap I crocheted. I also separated the yarn into three strands for the second doll, because I like the "wiry" effect. But the best part was styling it. You can try all sorts of things -- braiding, tying bows, hair bands.

I crocheted tiny pouches for the body and stuffed them really well so that there is a small belly. Then I stitched the illusion of legs and hands.

Pretty in pink

This little girl is about six inches tall. I haven't got a name for her yet. Any ideas? :) Took me an afternoon to complete. Pig tail added after hair (brushed out crocheted cap) was sewn onto head. Tights made from a sock. Scarf made from a bit of lace. Bonnet and sweater knitted.

Little Lulu

Little Lulu is just about two inches tall, ready for the next flea market. Made her hair from pink and gold satin ribbons. Second attempt in making hair this way. Some ribbons are easier to unravel and I was lucky to have some broad pink ones on hand -- a breeze to pull the horizon strand, leaving the vertical ones as silky hair.

Hair like satin

This is the first time I tried hair that is made from satin ribbons. There are lots of tutorials online teaching you how you can make wefts from satin ribbons. Fascinating! You are supposed to straighten to kinks with one of those heated devices for real hair. But I didn't and it seemed to be ok :)
