Ornament 2014
I am making pairs of Russian Skaters as my 2014 ornament. I made a pair for the annual ornament swap that my doll making group does each year and I liked them so much I decided to try to make 6 more for my children's stockings. May have bitten off more than I can chew but time will tell.
These are the pair I gave away at the ornament swap.
A shot of her pantaloones. All she needs are her skate laces and she will be done!
They start with a simple pipe cleaner frame and a wooden bead head. I needle felted a torso to give them a bit more body shape. Once the frame work is done, the fun begins with costuming. Now that I have completed my first pair, I have so many color scheme ideas for the next ones. Just not enough time in the day to accomplish everything I would like to do.
