Bleu Faerie Finished!

Bleu is finished, wings and all.  Patterns for the basic doll, wire wings, and how to make a sweet dress from crochet lace are available on this blog.  Check out the left sidebar under Pocket Spirits.

Thinking even smaller Spirits are in the future :-)

  7. Thank you so much, Melanie, Just Ming, Catarina, Bama, Jennifer, Helen and Nasreen :-)

    Helen, your admiration touches me deeply.

    Ming, a lot of my inspiration comes from the world of Asian Ball Jointed dolls. I love these dolls :-)

  23. Anna, your doll is brilliant! Can't wait to see her wigged. For me, this is when the doll's personality really emerges :-)

    1. Hello Tink,

      If you scroll to almost the bottom of the left sidebar, you'll find a catagory called 'Links to Pocket Spirit Patterns.' The doll pattern is the second from the bottom of this list, and her dress was made with the basic instructions entitled 'Make Lace into Dresses tutorial.'

      There is not a pattern, per se, to create the exact doll above.

      Hope this helps,

      Beth
