my first doll!
This is the first doll I have made following the instructions in Patti Culeas book on Doll making. Her body is made from silk then painted and her dress is silk cap pieces machine embroidered between two layers of water soluble fabric. Can you spot the beetle?

Since then I have taken a felt making certificate and also a HNC in stitched textiles.I now specialise in machine embroidered silk bowls,felt making & layering fabrics to make accessories.I am a member of the Marlborough & District Embroiderers Guild and co founder of the Great Western Embroiderers, a group of Mixed media artist.I also write murder mystery plays!
