This doll was made for the Goblin Princess Challenge set
by Patti Culea via the www.joggles.com

bodice (made from my favourite material - annealed coke can). Her skirts are wispy chiffon,
nets and lace overskirt. All were dyed with purple dye and
topped with gold Markel paint stick.
Her sceptre is a ‘cat’ head in gold
symbolising her gentle nature and love of animals.Price £150
Peaceblossom - Rock Chick Fairy
Below are photos of Peaceblossom. She is my entry into the
Knitting and Stitching Show Basic Babe competition for 2004. She is my first
ever doll and I have thoroughly enjoyed working with water soluable fabric.
Peaceblossom is dressed in machine made lace pieces, cords and of course I had
to add can pieces - they end her hair!!!
