Hands

Hands are my favorite things to make-possibly because I consider them to be the most difficult body part to get right. I am always having to remind myself not to 'fudge' the hands.

This doll's hair is made using alpaca roving from Bell House Alpacas , a local farm just up the road in Parkton, Maryland. I really enjoyed working with the alpaca fiber, and have two additional brown colors. One of which is raw, so has a slightly different feel and texture, a bit more wild. She is dyed with sumi ink, and her skirt was dyed with avocado and then dipped in an iron after bath. Little glass beads adorn her skirt and wrist.
