New Doll: Lisette
Tentatively name Lisette, this is my most recent doll from my new design. She is made from Windsor Ponte fabric, which I believe is no longer made. There were pros and cons with this fabric. Her hair is Tibetan lamb on the hide. I still need to decide on a final hair-do, and possibly a hat - but otherwise she's done!
Yesterday I painted her wood base. I was trying for a cobblestone sort of effect.
Update: Lisette finally had her "photo shoot" today. Now to update my website...

Newsletter #15: 2023, Here We Come
https://blue-heron-dolls.ck.page/posts/2023-here-we-come
Toward the end of my Covid isolation, I took the time to formalize the pattern and instructions for my Santa head ornament. This meant I had to make one more in order to photograph the various steps.
