Briwyn is a garden faerie and stands on her beetle buddy Brody’s back
holding securely to vine woven reigns as she patrols under the hosta leaves
and in between the bluebells and the columbine to make sure things are in
order. Her costume is hand dyed and singed silk, draped in fibers and beads
and toped with a Free Motion Embroidery made on a base of hand dyed soy silk
fibers. Brody has a shell also made with FME incorporating a variety of
fibers, rayon threads and a thin sheet of fused Angelina Fibers.
Beetle Babe was designed for a doll challenge at
Joggles
where the pattern and the kit may be purchased after the first
week of October. The pattern is full of techniques and options including:
the FME and silk dyeing details, a flat face and a needle sculpted head as
well as a choice between individually wired articulated fingers and mitten
hands. With the added options this pattern will be fun for doll makers of
all skill levels. |
