Hi , thank you for your kind words.I very much appreciate them. Just to answer your questions:-. I made Jade using Michelle Munzone's" Isabo" fairy pattern as a base pattern, but I enlarged it and used two straight legs. I have made Isabo and will post a picture of her. Some of my dolls are from patterns but some I have made up myself.Ditter43. sorry I just can't answer your question about how long it takes to do a doll. I just fiddle with them at night time because I have to be doing something with my hands.Many many hours though.Thanks again.
