The Lovely Jillian is cousin to the Latest Lily, Maui Lola.
(Say that 5x fast!)
So whaddya think?
white background?
Or the leopard?
Now is it just me? Or am I seeing a lot of pink and purple lately?
But then again, I'm really struck by no matter how many of these I do... they all look different!
Or am I just prejudiced?
I do try to improve my designs and techniques with each doll I do. This one was really exciting because not only was it a special request AND a repeat customer (Hi Kristy!) but I also got to try a new invisible decrease technique.
I know, I went all crochet geek on you there, but if you're at all interested, one of my favorite sites is Mygurumi (Hi Diana!) -fantastic tutorials there, and cute animal patterns, too-check it out!
Anyway- as I was saying, about the invisible decrease,
if you look closely here,
you can see a line going down from her chin to her neck?
...and on this newest doll?
No line! Wheee!
I know, I know, who would notice? But it's just about improving the skills and making the designs a little more refined and ...giving my best.
Enjoy your new doll, JillyBean!
