Needle Felted Doll -- Pregnant Mama

Description

This Waldorf style, needle felted doll is perfect for gentle play, the seasonal table or can be enjoyed simply as a piece of sculptural folk art. It makes a wonderful gift for an expecting woman or a midwife. She stands 12" tall. Like all my pieces this one is made from pure organic sheeps wool and hand dyed using all natural plant dyes. In this case the plants used for dyeing were onion skins (orangey color), gathered from a local food market and Woad (light blue), gathered from a vacant lot while traveling through the deep south last summer. The yarn used for her skirt embellishment is handspun merino.

She is inspired by my recent journey through the joys of pregnancy...

**Please note that this listing is for a custom made version of the doll shown in picture. The actual doll may differ slightly. Please allow up to two weeks for the creation of each piece. That means if I am back ordered it could be longer than two weeks. Your patience is appreciated !
