SOFT SCULPTURE & BALL JOINTED DOLLS

I have a love of all dolls, ball jointed dolls are my favorite
But, could it be done in fabric?
I have seen BJDs done by other doll designers,
but I wanted something simple and sweet

in a beautiful batik cotton

in the perfect 11 to 12 inch size

so, I experimented and used wooden beads in the elbows, and knees, etc.
tiny cloth tabs, strung with strong beading thread, embellished with beads and buttons

this wispy little nymph was born
I see a large crowd of nymphs taking over my studio
HEE-HEE
