Here she is, right side out! Just a prototype as there are a few things I want to tweak (arm placement, less of a bowling pin neck, etc), but I think she's pretty sweet. She's just a smidge over 12" and as with most of my projects she's made with mostly found/recycled fabrics. The pattern is my own, but I always fear that I've been overly influenced by all the other great softies out there and want to do something with my own unique stamp on it. There won't be the same crazy hair on many more dollies as I'm running out of that weird but fabulous fabric. It's obviously some sort of creepy plastic-y stuff as it doesn't fray a bit, but it's super soft and sproingy and has the texture of really thick velvet or very short fake fur. It doesn't even fuzz when you cut it. Space age technologies at work there, I'm sure! I'm also working on a dress up dolly and she's cute but currently naked, as I don't seem to be able to get past the sack-dress-with-elastic-neckband stage.
Oh My Gosh! She is so adorable! I like her right-side-out best! She is so cute...you did a good job. Makes me want to try one...but I already have too many projects to finish to start another one now! :)

She is just adorable! I love her spikey hair and I don't think her head looks like a bowling pin. I think she's just cute!
