A few moments from the hair-making process. Seed-beaded hair gives the doll a soft shine and a delicate texture. Each strand is made of tiny beads, creating a pretty, detailed look. It takes time to attach them one by one, but the result is a sparkling hairstyle that makes the doll feel truly special.

List of materials and colors I used for this doll

A few photos from the process of creating my new doll. During the making of this girl, many elements were changed — I updated some parts, and after many attempts, I finally figured out how to crochet accurate palms with fingers. This time, I wanted to make shoulder connections with pins and washers. It’s a bit harder to crochet, but the result and movement are much better than when I used to connect the arms to the finished body with thread. The head has a crocheted ball join
