Inspired by the dandelions blooming all around at the moment, Dandelion is an embroidered mouse with a glorious dandelion yellow linen dress. The design of the embroidery was taken from the fabric teamed with her dress. Mitsi Grey is a classic Liberty Print going back to the fifties. The dandelion flowers are heavily styalised as are the leaves being in two colours of grey. Tiny dandelion seeds blow about her skirt.
Each doll in this small series has citrine to their heart with chamomile to their stuffing, enhanced with a few drops of Roman Chamomile Oil.
Just love these colours, they seem to sing and sit well with the little grey mice themselves.
I like the combination of the strong yellow linen with the softer greys and mustard tones. Straight stitch, stem stitch, long and short stitch are a few of the stitches used. Dandelion seeds blow across the skirt. The dandelion flowers finished with french knots, beads and buttons.
I find stitching the skirt very satisfying and I enjoy how the strong yellow is picked up in the underskirt fabric.
