Faux Fer

Inspired by the Dollhert Fer design but to my own pattern. Myrddin very kindly agreed to model for me. :-)















Mostly testing how well the design works; this prototype is handstitched from cotton jersey, but next I'm planning a version in burgundy silk with gold-trimmed organza ruffles, and another in black velvet with silver-trimmed black organza ruffles. It zips up the back with a very small zip fastener. The prototype is designed specifically for the CP boy body, but it would be simple enough to make versions to fit a girl body. It would also be very easy to scale down the pattern for 45cm dolls too.

The strips forming the ruffles are 2" wide, and if laid end-to-end would measure about 25m!

Introducing Emrys and Myrddin

A while ago, [info]zagzagael decided reluctantly to sell her BW type 1 Shiwoo Special (perhaps better known as the Frost Twins).

I can now reveal that I was the buyer; and today a certain package arrived - so please welcome Emrys!












He doesn't have a face-up yet, as his arrival coincided with a decidedly damp turn in the weather - but hopefully conditions will improve enough soon so I can get to work!

Of course, Emrys being a Shiwoo Special, that means he came with two heads - the normal open-eyed head above, and a dreaming head - who is Emrys' twin brother, Myrddin:
