My new doll named Rocky The Elf

It has been such a long while since I posted anything. I have been working slowly but surely in the hot summer sun. I am still working a little here and there on the tiny doll. His name is Rocky. I am making him from the leftover alabaster of my 1/4 scale doll Topaz. I have too many irons in the fire, but I never give up. Rocky is about 5.5 inches tall.  He has a handmade wig I made with eyelash chenille and a crocheted wig cap. He has hand painted gold eyes like an owl. I love the gold color for my witches and elves. He has a handmade outfit I have sewn from felt with a hammer pocket and copper colored Christmas bells. I sewed each piece by hand, because I really love the hand crafted look of felt. I also find it to be very relaxing to sit back with a movie, ramp up the AC and craft to escape the heat.

 Rocky will soon be done. I just came in from working on his legs and feet. That means I will have an approximate size for shoes now and can get to work on some elf shoes and possibly a hat. I really love the fall colors that came in my package of felt pieces and fall is just around the corner. I dream about the Holidays just looking at Rocky come to life for Christmas. I have a brass hammer charm on my charm bracelet just for his hammer pocket. This means he can get to work soon crafting toys for Christmas
