What is Pink Saturday?
My fairy name
Your fairy is called Oak Goblinfly
She is a bringer of riches and wealth.
She lives in forests of oak and lime trees.
She is only seen at midday under a quiet, cloudless sky.
She decorates herself with leaves and berries. She has gentle green wings like a butterfly.
Remember cabbage patch? Well, these want-a-bees remind me of cabbage patch, but you need to assemble them and they do not have a adoption certificate.
I've done many of these kits, I'm going to give Betty Ballerina to Madam P at some point, although she hasn't asked for it yet. Soft sculpture is fairly easy, it's basically a design of several small stitches pulled tight, usually in a stuffing part of your project. My kit was made in the seventies and I must say....doll making has come a long way since then. One of the required tools is a soft sculpture needle pictured at the top of Betty's head. My needle of necessities, are 5 inches. C & G Design.
Hi Guys, these are fun, only thing is....got to be careful with tying knots in the hairline, sometimes when you don't tighten them right, you get a hole in the head!

I had a friend that use to make things by hand like that. She was good too. I miss her.
