Dollieh Sanctuary

Hello!

I read a lot, and decided, after reading a really great series, to make a doll that looks like the main character.

I put up a post on my blog, feel free to click through for photos. I did a yarn reroot to look like braids or twists and put her on a Made To Move Body. It was my first time repainting anything (her lips had a large scratch on them, so I had to repaint).

I am super proud of her, and hope you enjoy the pics!

She looks very cool. I like her dreadlocks.

Thank you Iwa_Hoshi! Her hair is my favorite part of the doll, I am super happy with how it turned out.

I need to do that with one of my dolls.

She looks really cool - the dreads are amazing

She's incredible!

Yup, like everyone is saying, those dreads look super cool! Great job.

Thank you everyone!

The yarn reroot was straightforward (the My Froggy Stuff YouTube tutorial was right n the money).

I think using a natural fiber (alpaca) looks so good because there are small little hairs that poke out of each yarn twist - that looks really realistic.

With a short style like this, the glass beads on each strand are a MUST. Without them her hair poofed up and would not hang straight. The weight of the bead holds the strands down.
