Description
Yesterday (September 3) was Kit 's birthday! Every year we try to make each other something really cool, and this year I made her a little star person.
Took me a few days. I didn't make a pattern or anything, but he wasn't too hard to put together. He's made with felt, polyfil and embroidery floss. I have all these great rainbow colors and I've always wanted to use them all together. If I'd thought about it, I would have weighted his feet with some beans or something.
He was hugely inspired by the incredibly talented Mr. and Mrs. Muju of Mujuworld and Lorena Alvarez 's exquisite little felt dolls. I don't know how she gets her stitches so perfect, but I don't do a lot of embroidery, so maybe with some practice!
I love you, Kitteroo! At her birthday party, she asked me if, when I made this, it felt like a male or female. Our mom said, "It is a genderless being of universal love." I thought that was perfect. C:

Such lovely detail, I bought an owl pillow recently and the clarity and detail on this puts my cushion to shame XD

That's amazing, mind if I ask you about the embroidery on the back is your own or an existent pattern?

I share birthday with your sister,could I get one too? Haha,like you hadn't heard that before!,really I just want to say how much I like it and that your gallery makes me feel trully inspired. I think this is the first comment I've made to you but not because I find your other posts dull or anything but because I think you might get tired of reading a thousand praising comments...and also because I turn everything I write into a rant
See you around

Oh my gosh! I can't believe how neat and professional it looks! "It is a genderless being of universal love." *buddha pose* Hahaha, I love it! All of my toys don't have genders, they just ARE. I love all of the little details like the hand-stars. And the best thing is that we know it was made with LURVE

Oh wow, this is a lovely little doll. If I knew the first thing about embroidery, I'd want to try my hand at making something like this for myself. Kit is one lucky gal!

You know, I really don't know squat about embroidery, I just started doing fun stuff. Probably my technique is all screwy. You should try! You might come up with the coolest thing ever.

Hmm, you know, I might just pick up some embroidery floss and give it a shot sometime. Even if I majorly screw things up, it should still be fun to play around with.

This is beyond cool. I adore the colourful pattern behind star man's cute teardrop-y head. There's nothing like handmade gifts for your birthday. If only my siblings were craftily inclined...

hello! i was wondering, how do you call that technique of sewing those type of stitches? is it embroidery or something else?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
There are a lot of different stitch types employed here, so I don't know which one you mean, but mostly, yeah, it all falls under embroidery.

This reminds me of a really old Native American painting. Is that weird?

Not at all... actually, I kind of felt the same thing!

I think I actually like this more than the little felt Muju dolls - it has so much more character!

Did you sew any of it, or is it all bound together by the floss?
