Her dress is from a lace pattern from the Leasure Arts leaflet 20 Beautiful Edgings (they are!). I wanted one with popcorn stitches that would look like Nightshade berries when crocheted in red. I don't enjoy crocheting with black, but the lace wasn't too hard to work up. Putting a white sheet of paper in your lap helps to see the black stitches.
Her hair is Lionbrand Fun Fur, crocheted with a size 1 steel hook. This is a much smaller than recommended hook for this yarn, but it made a great cap.
Nightshade among her namesake berries. Very poisonous...Do Not Eat!
She's lovely!

Beth once again you have come up with an adorable doll I just love her your patterns and ideas are so inspirational.
ReplyDeleteYou had me at the post title, the name suits her very well. You make such lovely dolls. :)
ReplyDeleteNightshade looks very lovely! Her outfit and the wings are just sweet. Are those buttons on her feet? :)
ReplyDeleteOh my, she is lovely. You put such character into all your dolls and Nightshade is no exception. She is so well thought out. Love her skin tone and fuzzy hair. Her lace dress with the berries is delightful, as are her wings. Another amazing doll.
