Blythe

Daisy Resting Her Head on a Pillow, originally uploaded by confections.

My good friend Marie Rose of kittykatdance has lately become enamored of Blythe dolls and I have followed suit.

My brand-new ones have not arrived yet, but my sister and I and Marie had a gathering on Saturday to celebrate her birthday and to meet her new doll, Cousin Olivia.

She has been renamed Daisy and is sporting one of many custom dresses that Marie makes so beautifully, with meticulous attention to detail.

Meet Daisy!

Needlefelted Daisy Collage

Needlefelted Daisy Collage, originally uploaded by confections.

I needlefelted this daisy using a Clover applique mold. The fiber is hand-dyed Targhee wool by Susan's Spinning Bunny--the green leaves from her Clematis colorway, the flower from her Fruit Salad colorway. I hand-blended the colors using my new Indigo Hound Round-II-It hackle.
