I would appreciate any critque submitted on my hand crafted elf. I am fairly new to "professionally" offering my dolls. I have made them for gifts for friends and family in the past and have just started selling them. Mugwort is shown in gallery--and as described he is made by hand, needlesculpted features, needlefelted hair and hand stitched clothing. He is approx. 20" tall.--------------------Debby

I added his image into your post just for ease of viewing!

I think he is adorable!!! What character he has!

I'm just starting out myself so not sure how good my crits will be hehe!

Maybe bring his eyes a wee bit closer. Not sure what the line down his nose is - a seam maybe? Not sure if you can really affect that much if it's a seam. His nose seems a *teeny tad* bit long, but that could be because the picture was taken from above and we are looking down on him.

I think he is absolutely charming!!! Are you going to sell him? I bet he'd sell very nicely!!

Thank you for your help! Yes it is looking down when pic was taken. I am a complete dunce when it comes to computers in any form, I had my daughter be the photographer. Yes it is a seam on the nose, hard to disguise I tried to use shading and a bit of color to draw away from it, other than use of different pattern-seam is unavoidable.
His nose isn't as long as it looks--it's the angle of shot, although the nose is long. Yes he's for sale, as is a faerie I call "Marina". She is the same height as Mugwort, however she is willowy and has much smaller features (different pattern). I do my own patterns in most cases, inspiration from other doll artists to guide me, but I can't follow the pattern because I want to change it as soon as I start!
I tried to do other photos, had computer problems at home, so Mugwort was the only one caught. I am also in the process of making 3 more faeries. "Erin" a celtic faerie with colors of Ireland as her clothing, A "spaced-out" faerie for a group challenge, and "Sunni" my faerie dressed in shimmering lemon yellow and adornments to compliment theme.
Thanks again for the moral support on my dolls, I didn't list price or shipping, I can if so desired as being necessary--------Debby

Ohhh they all sound so delightful!!! I hope to be able to see them when they are all finished!!

Feel free to share your listing/auction links or to share ANY information about your pieces - this site is for folks to let others know all about their faery creations!!!

My faerie Marina is at Ebay---item # 5671781225--I've done an About Me page there--haven't added pics to it yet. Erin will be offered very shortly doing finishing touches--the challenge faerie, "Luna Cobalta" is shown on my blog--yahoo360----scampsmom1953--------again, I welcome comments on my dolls--------and definately praise! LOL-----Debby

Feel free to add links, since it's hard to tell where the blog is! Unless you want to upload some images into the gallery or on the forums that is!

Would love to see your latest dolls!!
