Fernel the forest fairy

I am pleased to introduce to you Fernel, a forest fairy.

This doll is my first attempt at an art doll and I'm pretty pleased with how she turned out.

She has a fully needle sculpted face including glass eyes and eyelids. She is jointed at the hips and knees allowing her to sit (or stand if in a doll stand).

She is holding a staff (with a rather large flower on the end) and a very delicate flower. She also has forest green wings with seed bead detailing.

I had fun experimenting with dye as well for her "hair" and the foliage on the flower walking stick.
