Head Case

Voodoo??



No, just my method for making yarn hair. :)









I'm still stumped on the face, I feel that's the "make or break" of stuffies. :) Embroidered? Felt? Button eyes? Painted?

Suggestions are warmly welcome.

I love her hairdo! :)

I sure wish I could get my hair to do that! Fabulous!!!

Wow! The hair looks great! I personally prefer embroidered faces on dolls as I'm not terribly handy with a paint brush and b/c buttons can come off. That said, I've seen excellent examples of all 3 so I'm sure you can't go wrong!

I love her hair..never knew how that was done. I prefer embroidered faces too...but I'm sure she'll look lovely anyway she's finished.

Hugz,

I love that hair! I have some face patterns from an old book that has the little women dolls. I could scan them and send them to you for inspiration if you like?

Mama Said Sew said...

That is a great hairdo! I vote for embroidery too. Can't wait to see her all done up. :)

Maybe a wool felt/embroidery combo?
Something simple... love the hair!
I used to make waldorf type dolls for my daughter, for the cheeks I would take her red beeswax crayon and rub in on my finger, then put a little color on her cheeks - easy to control so you don't get too much. And it stays forever.

OMG...being the career dollmaker that I am, I seriously need to learn how to do this yarn 'style'. Can you teach me?!!!

Citygirl.em said...

Back again! I'll teach you how to do faces, if you teach me the 'doo'

Whatever the voodoo look -- it sure makes cute hair on a cute doll! I'm going with embroidered or button eyes -- not normally a big fan of paining on stuffies.

Have you seen the way the Waldorf dolls eyes are done? I think those would be lovely. I must admit, I'm partial to a Waldorf doll face. I think they are so sweet. I love the hair style of your doll. She is beautiful.
