An heirloom felted doll

Julie says:

This is the first figure of a new Collection for 2010 entitled “Childhood”…

This child is heavily needled-felted on a wire core, (she is bendable), using Australian blue-green Merino wool for her body and hat and brown silk roving for her hair. For Teddy, I used coarser brown wool roving…

They are made to be an heirloom and will last for many years to come.

I have a good friend about to have her first baby – and this is an awfully tempting find…
