Toothpick Elf Art Doll - Elana

Description

Elf Toothpick Art Doll

Elana is made from toothpicks and embroidery floss.

She wears a gold tunic over a russet skirt & cream chemise. Her apron is made of 3 overlapping leaves crafted from embroidery floss. Pointed elf ears peek out from behind her long auburn hair. The top of her hair is one of my favorite things about her - it's designed in a full-crown braid that covers the top & back of her head, ending in a large bun encircled by more braids.

Each toothpick doll measures about 2.5 inches (7 cm) tall and can take anywhere from 6 to 15 hours or more to make, depending on the design. Aside from a toothpick skeleton, the entire body & costume are made from thread, including the head. Each doll is an original design, and comes with a glass dome & wooden base for safe display.
