Shannelynne is about 26 inches tall and made from muslin. She is stuffed firmly with fiberfil, and weighted with a bag of poly pellets in her bottom. Her hands are handstitched to resemble fingers. Her ‘hair’ is made from chenille ‘thick and quick’ yarn, stitched in place, and braided, tied at the top with pink ribbon and small rubber bands near the bottom of the braids. Shannelynne’s face was hand drawn with a combination of Prismacolor pencils and acrylic paints, with touches of make-up. Her face was then sprayed with a matte finish acrylic spray.

Shannelynne’s dress is made from a beautiful gilded rose print fabric with an attached contrasting fabric apron. A pretty ornamental button was attached at the top of her doily collar. Her dress has 2 small buttons in the back. Her boots are made from pink felt and tied with cotton perle floss. She also has pantaloons made from muslin.

Shannelynne carries a pretty pink wooden basket holding a beautiful bouquet of roses. The basket has been painted with acrylic paint and lightly sanded. The artificial roses are tied with a ribbon and are just loosely attached to the basket, so they can be removed if desired.

Dot was ‘kreated’ from coffee/vanilla stained muslin and pink fleece inside her ears. Dot’s dress and ‘ear' bows (‘hare’ bows?) are made from cotton calico, her pantaloons from muslin, all stained as well. The edges of the dress are slightly raveled and the neckline is gathered with perle cotton floss, as are the pantaloons at the waistline and legs. Dot stands about 16 inches tall, and her face is about 6 inches across. Dot’s face was hand drawn with colored pencils and then painted with acrylic paint; it was then lightly sanded after drying. Her carrot cupcake (click on photo to see close-up of cupcake) was made from a calico print, stuffed with fiberfil, and topped with batting to look like frosting – all stained. The tiny carrot button on top has been lightly sanded. The cupcake is held between her front paws, and they are all stitched together.

The chickadees were sprayed with a coffee/vanilla mixture, then ‘baked’ in the oven to produce the primitive aged look. Their ‘eyes’ are black seed beads.Their ‘nest’ was created with a clear plastic plant pot liner, and Spanish moss was loosely formed around the dish with adhesive spray.

These little chickadees would also look cute as bowl fillers or peeking out of a cabinet. They each have a custom tag on their muslin tummies and were signed by me, K’Lee. They were ‘kreated’ from a wonderful pattern from by Hazelruthe, with my own ‘kreative’ touches added, used by permission.
