Flossie



This is my Hoffman doll for the 2008 challenge. Flossie will be traveling with the exhibit. she is 18", has bead ball jointed elbows and button jointed at hips and shoulders. Her hand painted face is needle sculpted and sealed. the challenge fabric, a large peacock motif print, is in her skirt and around her shoulders as a wrap. Her shoulder wrap is paverpol treated as to hold its shape. Molded felt hat with lining and trim. Chair is all fabric and adapted from Barbara Willis's chair pattern.

Lovely doll Patti. You used the fabrics well. I always hated doing these challenges. Very nice indeed.

Hi Patti,
Love your Hoffman ~ I got mine in just under the wire (as usual!). Be sure to send a photo my way for inclusion in the Hoffman pages at my site: www.blueherondolls.com
I've received quite a few this year, and want to include yours.

Thanks!
