Greetings, needleworkers! Today I get to share that I finished my second God doll, this time of the Morrigan! :)
So I made her blue sweater (which is longer in the back than the front) on a small loom knitter, and her white socks (which are under her shoes, lol) on a smaller loom knitter. I knit her cape, which also flips over into a hood, on a pair of dpns using them like straight needles.
Embroidered her face of course, and sewed in each individual strand of hair like I did for Nuada. I should count their hairs, lol. There are a lot and they're not big dolls! Hers is arranged into three braids:
I hand stitched her skirt and her shoes, and made her a bracelet out of copper wire and gemstones. The feather that is on her cape I used to wear as a necklace, and is carved out of bone:
Here she is hanging out with Nuada, the first God doll I made (she's not shorter, the blanket is just floofed up more under his feet. They're the same size):
So there she is! I worked on her a lot more slowly than I did Nuada, so I've actually been working on her for quite some time, much longer than a week. But I really like how she turned out. :)
See you around the stitch n' bitch circle! ;)
Amazing art made for me that I got from a trade on Simbi! Simbi is a bartering website that I love. If you'd like to try it out, please use my referral link: https://simbi.com/wren-paasch/welcome
I love that you have such a distinct style with your dolls, I can clearly see that they belong together (artistically) but as always with such tiny knitted things, I am unable to imagine how someone could do this without turning berserk.
Obviously you managed somehow, not only one time but twice :-D I love the details for your Morrigan, the necklace and the hood are my favorite.
Do you like Kevin Hearne? I hope I did not asked before and forgot... If yes, did you read his new serial 'ink and sigil'?
I keep getting told I need to read his books. A friend bought me the first Iron Druid one but I haven't read it yet. It's in my "to read" pile, lol.
