Making of Fiber Art Doll: Catalina Cordelia, Unintentional ASMR Sewing and Needle Felting

Welcome to another video showing a little behind-the-scenes of my doll making studio. I am sharing with you the way Catalina was needle felted, part of the process of sewing her clothes and her final photos.

If you would like to bring Catalina Cordelia into your home, you can find her adoption form here:

Specs on Catalina:
🌷 She is 25" tall, sculpted entirely in wool over an articulated armatured and she also has disc joints.
🌷 I published in the past an entire series on how to build a large doll over armature via my Patreon channel. This entire series has been removed and no longer accessible there but I could be persuaded to re-edit it and load to my doll making school. Please let me know if you are interested.
🌷 Catalina's hands have wired fingers, please check out the tutorial for that and how to cover that hand here: / 2023-tutorials-85362045
You can watch that tutorial via my Patreon, by joining the "2023 Tutorials" tier, which will give you access to all previous content that this tier has access to.
🌷 Her eyes are brown and hand-embroidered and her freckles hand-painted with fabric markers.
🌷 The skin fabric I use for my dolls is cotton knit, produced in Europe. The specific brand I used on her is Laib Yala, heavy weight.
🌷 Her very long hair is camel weft, in the Golden Blonde shade. I purchase a lot of my supplies from Monika (including the doll skin fabric) over here: www.etsy.com/c...
🌷Catalina's dress is made with Olivia Honey, Amy Sinibaldi fabric. The collection's name is Honey Fusion produced by Art Gallery Fabrics. Her bloomers are medium weight cotton trimmed in eyelet lace. The buttons on her dress are mother-of-pearl. Her shoes are linen/cotton and the soles are 3mm leather. Her hat is made with homespun wool trimmed in fine handmade crochet edging. Her cardigan is repurposed, it is made with virgin wool and closes with a wooden button.
🌷I do love her and hope she brings you joy!

Hi dear with your patterns come with a bit more instructions on how to adjust noses and. Mouth after you cover her? Just wondering since your dolls have so much little details ♥️

[@Figandme]

You cannot adjust the mouth or the nose after you cover them...if you are sculpting the doll with needle and thread, then you can choose the place the mouth in a different place...but if you are needle felting, whatever you did in the wool will be mirrored (if felted firm enough) once you cover the doll in skin fabric. My patterns teach you how to make the doll with the expression it comes in the photos and pattern.
