Felicity

Finally finished! Felicity is a vintage-inspired cloth doll. I made her a crocheted cotton apron and cap and her dress is made from green and tan checked cotton fabric. Her hair is made from hanks of mercerized cotton which were impregnated with glue and adhered to her head, then painted. She looks quite satisfied with her lot.

    Beautiful...her hat and her apron are lovely. I've never seen anyone use mercerized cotton for hair in that way. Very interesting.

    Felicity is spectacular. I love the texture of her hair - how it's soft and still a fiber, and yet it's also sculpture. LOVE this doll!

    Susie... thank you for stopping by at Woodstown Whimsies; it means so much to us! Your Felicity is just lovely. The hair is amazing, in style but more so in the construction. Just lovely... Daryle

    That green checked fabric is one of my all time favorite textiles. Felicity is perfect.
