Reconstructive Surgery

Kellan was the first knit Manga Spirit that I made.  I love her impish smile and green hair, but wasn't happy with the neck spacer, so the pattern was tweaked, and the knit Manga Spirits now have a smaller neck spacer.

But here was Kellan, wanting to be a real doll too!  So, I took off her head, removed the spacer, and ladder stitched the head back on.  It doesn't move, but she doesn't mind, and we are both happier with the way she looks.

Very cute in parti-colored rompers, don't you think :-)

    Beth, yes, she looks so cute. i love the green hair, too! All of your dolls and clothes are just spectacular! You do such an amazing job! I am still working on a crochet Spirit doll, but want to try the crochet Manga Spirit. Thank you for kindly giving us your patterns and instructions. I truly appreciate your expertise!!!

    I agree with your decision about the neck. Without the skinny neck she is cuter and looks younger, a toddler.

    She looks great either way!! The rompers are very sweet. I have finally gotten a sewing room--where I will be able to spread out my stuff--and not have the cat pick it up in the middle of the night & play with it!! I have an actual door!! I do miss my son dreadfully, but he is very happy in his new home. He did not take all his stuff with him--but mom is happy to box it up and drop if off. Can almost see the floor!! Thanks for the creative doll fix!! Have fun designing more sweeties. Judy

    Beth,
    I totally love your works! They are wonderful! I started making dolls when I saw your great ideas here. Guess I'll never be as good as you are, but I need to say that your works are very inspiring :)
