I recently finished a swap with @Myruka
I made this:
I had a lot of fun making her this doll. She’s a button jointed doll and her arms and legs move.
I’m not very familiar with needle felting but I gave it a go for her hair.
I also worked with a very difficult fabric. I usually only work with felt or cotton.
I made the embroidery pattern myself after looking at a doll on Myruka’s Pinterest.
My favorite way to do embroidery is by using tissue paper.
I’m not super happy with the mask, but I really wanted to make one.

@Tapestry thank you. Funnily enough the last time I did needle felting was also for doll hair.
@curiousfae thank you! The mask is pretty messy on the other side. I intended to hot glue plain felt to hide the embroidery, but it made it too thick.
@madebyBeaG thank you.
@marionberries awww thank you. Lay on that butter

Thank you.
I’m glad you like the embroidery. There’s so many different ways to embroider faces. I am not skilled at a lot of embroidery techniques so I tend to keep it simple.
