waldorf doll pattern anyone?
New York Jen wrote:
Tristyn, that is SO cute! How did you do the nose??? Thanks! : ) There's an underlayer in the head - the directions called for something called stockingette. I've never heard of that, and I didn't want to search all over JoAnn Fabric (taking Gabe to craft or fabric stores is awfully unfun, and I try to keep trips to these very short). So I just used the foot of a pair of sheer hose. You stuff that, tie string around it to create an indentation for the eyeline, and stitch a bead on it to make a nose. Then when you pull the knit fabric that's the skin over, you have a cute little nose bump : ) The hair was a PITA - short boy hair is hard to do! I crocheted it, and I suck at crocheting. -- tristyn www.tristyn.net "i have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. i do not think that they will sing to me." |

"Tine Andersen" wrote in message k... "Chookie" wrote in message ... What is a waldorf doll? I keep picturing a mixture of celery, walnuts and apples... Apples??? Grapes!! And mayonaise. Heh. A Waldorf doll is a gender-neutral dolly, usually with an expressionless face - just dots for the eyes and mouth. AT least that's how they always look to me. They can be dressed any way you like, and of course I suppose they could have long hair and be called 'feminine'. Anyway, my kids dress all their dollies (male and female) and their stuffed animals in whatever clothes they have that will fit, so I'm not sure I understand why it's important to have a gender-neutral dolly.
