April fairy.

I finished this little fairy tonight.  I decided that as it seems to be a bumper crop of dandelions this year, I would base her outfit on that flower.  Her skirt was made by wrapping 3 different shades of Maderia thread round a hairpin crochet tool and machining down the center several times. Her top is painted silk viscose.
Johnny Depp is completely finished, but need to get a decent photo of him still.
On Sunday, Diane and I went to Birds In The Barn to do a 3 part dolls course with Ray Slater. Lots of homework to do in preparation for day 2 in May. We are making a Jester doll this year.

I'm back!!!!

Been missing from Blogland for quite some time.
When my textile group, Fen Edge closed down, I lost the reason to create.  I have set myself a challenge to make a little flower fairy doll for each month of the year. It is now March and I have made my 3 dolls so far.
This is the doll that gave me the idea for my challenge.  I made her for my mother for Christmas as a memento of my brothers wedding.  ( His wife had a fairy for a bridesmaid)

 

So for January, may I introduce................

 Snowdrop Fairy.

For February, it just had to be......................

 Rose. 

 Photos of my fairy for March will be posted soon.  She is finished, and posed for photos earlier this evening.
