Vera G starring in "Butterfly kisses"


Let me introduce you to a new rising star - Vera G. She was nominated "The best drama actress" for her role in "Butterfly kisses".

He-he-he...It was a challenge created by Mary Tressler. We have to create a movie star, back in to 20-30th, create the costume and come up with the name and movie title.

I really enjoy this pattern. The doll is about 15" height, delicate and well proportioned ( I am referring to pattern) , staying on its own and the pieces are coming together like a charm...

Hugs, Helen

One doll is for Winter and another one for Spring Season. Winter doll is holding teady bear that I needle felted. It was one of my first felting projects.
