Some More Pictures of Anya and Alex

 I made Anya and Alex in January 2011. I followed the patterns in Linda Carr's book as closely as I could.

The most difficult part was creating the hair. All of the yarn used for the hair was sewn on by  hand after I had completed the dolls. It took several days, especially Anya's. Then with Alex's hair I couldn't decide how short to cut it; I wanted him to clearly look boyish.

Anya's dress was made from some fabric I had cut out years ago to make a dress for myself. The lace trim was sent to me by my cousin Irene.

Detail on Anya's boots. These were quite tricky to make as the pattern in the book wasn't big enough for the doll as I had made her so I had to enlarge the pattern. I'm still looking for suitable material for making shoes/boots.
