Ida, A Snowdrop Fairy

 

Ida is a snowdrop fairy dressed in a beautfiul print by Acufactum simply called Snowdrops and she is Ida because snowdrops were my Gran's favourite flower, she planted them everywhere. I love the fact that my extensive collection of snowdrops came originally from my Grandma's garden and have spread everywhere.
For a winter spirit she has tiger's eye to her heart with rosemary in her stuffing.
She is a tall girl, one of my long legged Rhoda dolls from way back but with the altered pattern to give her a different head pattern that is more controlable and gives a neater result.
All in grey greens and white with subtle teal accents to her scarf and tattered wings, her hair is hand styled soft mint wool tops. Her facial features are simple and delicately hand embroidered. She is finished with tiny buttons, a rowan wool bob hat and a sampler pillow. I am really enjoying making them and exploring the fairy look.
