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.

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.

Sweet polka dots

This is another 18-inch doll I made. I believe she is extremely huggable. Trying to use up all the black wool from my last doll. I found that when I tried to trim the hair, the cut off bits tend to cling to the face.  But it was okay as you could brush them off with a towel :) Or perhaps you can try the sticky tape! When I was a kid, tiny polka dotted materials were my favourite. I still like them today.
