This is a little doll I made for Sasha for his birthday this month. It is my second attempt and am so happy with the way it turned out. The last doll's head was too big for his body and Sania didn't like his hair. With the help of a boy kit from Joy's Waldorf Dolls the 10" brother/sister pattern and this amazing Waldorf Doll Making Instructional DVD it was a success. Joy's waldorf dolls also has a doll making dvd which you can find on the first link. I showed Sania some photos of different wig options and this is the one he chose for his brother's doll - Sania wants one to:) It was much easier the second time . I wonder what his name will be.

You did a great job! Very cute.
ReplyDeleteI have been looking forward to seeing him, he is wonderful Jeanene! The girls want me to make them boy dolls, for some reason doing the short hair kinda scares me. You did such a great job. I love the cap too!

How lucky for your boys to have such beautiful handmade dolls from mama! My childrens Waldorf dolls are very treasured, they hold such love and life within them! What a beautiful job you did Jeanene! xoxo
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous doll. You did such a wonderful job. I'm scared to attemp doll making, but I'm off to visit the links you shared. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHe is wonderful, what skills you have with a needle, cheers Marie
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful boy doll. I love his little face and the hair choice is absolutely perfect. He is going to be one very well loved doll. I bet you can't wait to give him.
ReplyDeletehe's so cool! great job. i will have to look into this kit.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. Perfect. He looks so rasta. But then, he also reminds me of a couple of sweet and wild boys I know. I think what I like best about the hair is the surprising highlights and glints. Yes, this is a very solid boys' doll. Funny about that - so many things to recommend him: he has character of his own. And he is boy-like. And his boy got to chime in on the design level. And he's an extension of mother love. Good work, baby. Great work.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely friend!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like me, when i just started to grow my dreadlocks ;)
I'm sure Sasha will love him!!
Love, Yvonne
That little doll is just beautiful! I made my oldest a babydoll before her sister was born and she adores it despite its (many) imperfections. It was a bit tricky. I'll have to get that DVD before my next attempt. Here's to doll making and to birthdays!
ReplyDeleteHow much love you have put into this little guy! He is glowing with your love! He looks cheeky and playful and I really love his rasta looking hair. He will be well loved and treasured, I am sure. Beautiful crafting, sweet mama.
ReplyDeleteHi is gorgeous!! I love him! His hairs are so great!! And that little nose!!!
ReplyDeleteJeanene, he's perfect. Lucky, lucky Sasha. I think doll making is a quasi-magical art. Its just amazing to watch these little beings form in our hands, isn't it! In some way I think you've also managed to give this doll a little of Sasha's own spirit - the unique blend of wildness and gentleness that comes through in the photos you post here. I hope he has (or has had?) a wonderful, wonderful birthday.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet dolly Jeanene. I love his little shoes. Did you use a pattern for it? I have yet to make shoes for Camille and Noah's' dollies.
ReplyDeleteI love this!!! especially his dreadlock type hair!
ReplyDeleteI love your doll! His face is sweet and his hair outstanding! I love the mixture of colors in it. You did an amazing job. love, Beth
ReplyDeleteOh that is so cute! How talented of you and such a lovely gift. Sunnyboy would love this doll (and I would too!). I'm curious to know what his name is. :)
ReplyDeletePerfectly lovely.
