I in love with her profile!

Lovely doll! I like that you characterized her as a forest dweller, mushroom picker and herbal wise woman. Sounds magical to me. In one of my next posts I will show a doll I made some years ago. Her name is Miss Molly Polly and she likes drinking tea and eating cake. Stay tuned.
ReplyDeletemy goodness, she's so tinnie tiny!
ReplyDeleteBoth you are Camille Estelle are just lovely!
ReplyDeleteI adore her bright mushrooms and knowing gaze, as well as your printed tights, shawl, and hemline.
I do not think that doll is weird. She is really utterly drop dead gorgeous. As are you. AWESOME tights.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised at the size of the doll when I saw it in your palms. So tiny! And so detailed. Amazing work.
ReplyDeleteGosh I didn't know you made dolls, how lovely! She's exquisite, and looks like a wise soul :)

Hi Lynn, first of all, let me make a fuss about this unique little doll!!! She has the most adorable features and like you said, her profile is so lovely aaaannndd the fact that you put shrooms in her basket just thrills me. You are really talented in so many ways, Lynn. Also, those apt. 9 tights are calling my name, I saw them in kohls twice now, I many have to break down and buy them. Love your shoes!!! Have a great day! dawn suitcase vignettes xo I'm gonna visit your store that I noticed on your face page.

Camille is charming - I love her basket of mushrooms. And you're right, the profile is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteAnd you look so fresh in that gorgeous denim skirt with the apron corners(?). Your sock combination in the last post too was spectacular. And I saw some satin... Just beautiful, all of them.
Ah Dylan, you are amazing. What a great personality she has already- I can almost imagine a voice, a little low and husky and soft as a whisper. My mom loves dolls, and wanted to make them when she retired. She's retired but not yet gotten around to this wonderful craft. I hope she sees yours and gets inspired! PS: Those shoes are the bomb!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat doll! At the last art crawl, there was a collection of dolls who were seated on swings. I wish I had gotten a picture of them because I think they would have been right up your alley. unfortunately it was in one of the galleries I didn't feel comfortable bringing my camera out.
ReplyDeleteYour denim skirt is such a great cut!
