These little babies had to wait so long to introduce themselves.
They are cousins, Majorane is the older one. She is a secret - fairy. Her ears are elfin-ears, but she prefers to hide them under her braids. Majorane keeps it a secret, that she is a fairy. She lives at a small village, a farmhouse with a large vegetable garden
and goats, chickens, goose, pigs, rabbits, dogs and a cat. She loves to play outside and always hums when she catches a glimpse of a birdie.
Laurel lives in a small town, but he loves to visit Majorane at the countryside. He collects leaves and little flowers, and loves to press them down, and keeps them in a secret scrap book. He loves books, although he didn't learned to read jet, but he loves turning over pages of any books, especially picutre-books. When Majorane visits him they love to go to the playground, because they can play with the sew-saw!
Majorane and Laurel were gifts for my niece and my little son. The photos were taken at their last weekend together, when they were strolling at the nearby forest. It was such an exciting learning process to create them. They are my first little dolls, I planed this pattern to fit in the hand of the smallest ones.
They are just 23 cm tall, they have a simpler body, made of brown cotton-jersey, stuffed with clean wool and their facial features are embroidered with cotton threads. Majorane has a mohair wig, shining brown eyes, and a double sided apron dress. Laurel has an embroidered hairdo (my first one) from merino, dark brown eyes and double sided dungarees, matching Majorane's dress.
I'm planning to create these small dolls with colourful or patterned cotton jersey, with much more simple hairstyles, permanent hats or caps and just some symbolic clothes in the future.
Have playful days!
