Very nice!! Much nicer than what my google was turning up ( which was almost completely voodoo dolls Oh My!)

I could see doing smaller needle felted versions!
So: elfish ears & fairy wings & fanciful hair-like things. :wink:

I believe the pattern belonged to a specific member of Deadster. She would let folks use it for the swaps. So everyone used the same pattern but got to customize it.

Ghilie made the patterns. She was incredibly generous with her help too. She had ALS, it was getting pretty bad before C-ster closed. Someone has kept her blog going.

Yes, the deal was that she’d send anyone the pattern, and in exchange you had to post anything you made from it on the site.

The patterns are all on her blog still, & instructions. I’m going to make some elf cupcake dolls for a lady I met in the mall. There’s a bunny version too, frikken adorable. I need some ultrasuede for their bodies, I haven’t had any of that in years.

Doeskin is also excellent for use in making these dolls. There are some pretty nice faux suedes and faux doeskin that are less costly and a lot easier to use. Joann’s sells microsuedes as well.

Whaaaaat? :flushed: Okay now I have to see if any stores by me carries it.

I’ll look through my stuff to see if I have any already. Are you on the hunt for anything I can look for to send to you?
