Unfortunately, I could not find pearls or beads in the color and sizes I need to make this doll jointed. Other than that, I'm really happy with how she's comig along

clorista wrote:Toes! *runs off to find Esmeralda* I know what you mean about the knitting (although for me it's crochet) the dolls always end up with little flipper hands. I don't know as much about beading as I'd like so you could tell me all sorts of unorthodox stitches and I would look on with stars in my eyes at the wisdom. I would very much like to try now using beads for hands and feet on dolls (maybe not a whole beaded doll...not there yet) especially if they can have toes!
