This Waldorf style, needle felted doll is perfect for gentle play, the seasonal table or can be enjoyed simply as a piece of sculptural folk art. She stands 12" tall. Like all my pieces this one is made from pure organic sheeps wool and hand dyed using all natural plant dyes. In this case the plants used for dyeing were onion skins (orangey color), gathered from a local food market and Woad (light blue), gathered from a vacant lot while traveling through the deep south last summer. The yarn used for her skirt embellishment is handspun merino.She is available by special order for 35 $, shipping included, and can be created in the color scheme or your choice.This piece is inspired by my current, personnel journey through pregnancy and childbirth....
