Felt Art Dolls

I've been having a craze on art dolls and stuffies lately. I think its the cold nights making me want to snuggle up to something and its so nice to spend the evening quietly stitching. This is a selection of little goddess style felt art dolls that I've been working on in the last couple of days and they will be available in my Etsy shop from tomorrow.

All dolls are made from felt, stuffed with jacob wool and decorated with a mixture of needle felting, beading, stitch,fabric dye and buttons
