Thought you'd like to see a close up of Manami-Chan. I machine stitched the pattern, using gold metallic thread, on the green material that the sleeves are made from and I put dried lavender inside her body. The face is hand embroidered and that is definitely not my forte, but I tried. LOL!!
Pauline and I really enjoyed making these dolls for Yoriko (Thanks Pauline) and I'd love to make some more but I'll probably digitise a face for next ones.
Thanks for peeking. Hugs n roses, Meganne

Sorry Martine but the difference in size can't be determined by the picture due to the angle I took the photo, as much as I tried, the perspective is all wrong. LOL!!!
I didn't measure her size, dopey me. hahaha! If I ever make another one I will measure the finished size. Hugs n roses, M
145304she is very cute, embellishments sure finish it off nicely, love it

3780Meganne Manami-Chan is delightful. Ah I have just noticed that she is holding a fsl cherry blossom. The blossom in her hair is just like the geishas I saw in Kyoto. Will this be a new sewing career for you?

I don't know about clever, but I think they are both gorgeous, besides you chose the material. :-)
I suppose Yoriko could have named them Polly-Chan and Me-Chan seeing as they're mates. :-)))

26316Meganne, I thought the sleeves are so beautiful, very Japanese theme, and I would never realize that it was embroidered! The first thing I noticed was the wonderful lavender fragrance when I opened the pack. I just love them! As I write this, they are smiling to me :) Thank you so much!!! Watch you mail next days :) Love and blessings, Yoriko
