I received this lovely doll in the mail this week , from my sister .. A birthday gift ..
Amilia is a half doll, she stands about 8cm.. painted in soft blue..... a wooden stand will be made after I have completed the skirt..
I wanted to keep the theme of light blue so have chosen same colour beads with a darker blue for the cotton..
 |
| Chosen beads and cotton.. |
Well that was the easy part..
now for the threading of the beads onto the cotton..
 |
| The beginning ..it is a slow process. |
 |
| One hank of beads on cotton. |
|
Crochet put to one side for a day or 2 and on with the knitting..
 |
| Pattern and a few rows of beadknitting.. |

can't wait to see the finished doll :)
I've often admired your pretty beaded dolls, never given a thought to the time put into preparation. It must be an absorbing craft.
How beautiful.
I look forward to seeing the finished doll

I got here from the iCrochet site. I've never ehard of bead knitting before, but looking around here it looks like it's really beautiful. I don't knit yet, but I imagine I could probably do similar things with crochet. Your items are quite lovely. Thanks for sharing!
Always amazed at your patience with the bead knitting Pat.
She will be beautiful !
