2 Babes and a Pirate!

Hey all! I made these dolls last year. The first one I did was the lighter skinned brunette doll for my daughter. The second was the orange-haired doll, for a gift. I wanted to make one for my son, so I modified the pirate to make him "Captain Jack Sparrow" from Pirates of the Caribbean. :)





My next dolls will be a Dorothy (from the Wizard of Oz - for my daughter) and Ron Weasley (from Harry Potter) for my younger daughter. I've also been asked to make one (or more) for an auction at my daughter's preschool.

I love the Jack Sparrow one, you've really captured him. I've got a pirate on my list of to-do's. I might steal some of your ideas on the face when I get round to it. (in true pirate style)

Love the babe with the orange hair and there is something so fabulous about the hair.........do you know what yarn you used and how you achieved that look.
Thanks

I used Lion Brand Micro Spun. It's a microfiber yarn that you can actually "comb" - It's also really soft. I think I bought it at Michael's. It comes in lots of colors.
