For the past week or so, I've been working on a hooded cloak for my larger ladies. I have several gorgeous larger dolls, but they rarely get photographed. So I thought I should make a nice cloak so I can take the dolls out for winter photo shoots. It took some time to finish, as velour is both stretchy and has a nap, so every seam had to be hand-basted first. And the cloak is huge! It took an entire metre. And the bottom edge was at least three metres wide, so it took several days to hem by hand.
Asa has been modelling for me, and this morning with all the fresh snow, I thought it would be the perfect time to take her outside for some photos. However, I thought she really could use a nice fur muff to keep her hands warm, so I looked through my boxes of fur to find just the right colour and length. I have all kinds of fur scraps, bits of fur collars from old coats, and the most interesting fur purchased at Trading Posts up north over the years long ago. There's seal fur, ermine, lots of rabbit, and even polar bear. I ended up choosing mink from an old coat collar.

It's supposed to snow all week, so I'm hoping we can go out for some
magical photos in the woods on the weekend.
