New Versions of Verna

Botanical Fairy

Verna was a doll I designed for the soon to be defunct Soft Dolls and Animals magazine.  I also taught this as a class.  I had a few of the kits left over so thought I would finish them - they were all presewed, just needed faces, jointing and costuming.  Since they were all of the same fabrics, I decided to paint over them in various colors of metallic paints.  The dolls are done, and I finally finished their perches (made from Coffee Creamer containers!) and they just need a bit of tweaking before I put them in my Etsy Shop.
Pics of the ladies, Dorothy with Toto, The clock Keeper, Botanical Fairy, and the Green Witch follow.
