Welcome Bluesky!

jfaskdown, Eve is looking wonderful! As far as decorating the back, I really didn’t consider that question. I would say it’s not necessary (cause I didn’t do mine - ha), but you could if you want to and have the time.

Welcome! I think you’ll find they are pretty simple to make, and the creative variety can be so surprising with the same basics of body, tail, hanging loop, and face!

Oh hehe, thanks! I like bead embroidery so always seem to go a bit overboard! Here are some beaded dolls I've made.Originally Posted by Fandanie

Wow, Jenn! Those are spectacular! So glad you posted that impressive picture. I can embroider, but with threads, not beads, never learned that. How big are they? Looks like this swap was perfect for you.

The first doll I made, 'Zoe' is about 6" and is totally 3D (her back is also beaded). She took an extremely long time to finish. The second doll is about 4" and I used 90% recycled jewelry bits and beads. Beading is really therapeutic for me, I'm sure it's the same way with embroidery and other hand crafts.
It's another beautiful day!

Wow, such great dolls already! I'm feeling a bit intimidated!

Don’t feel that way, Trina! There can be many different styles with these little dolls. I love how different artists (my participants) can get them to look when what they all have in common is a soft-stuffed body, a round disk face, a “tail”, and a hanging loop. I plan to make more myself when I finish a few commitments, they are such fun to create!
