Here is another set of dolls, made for another pair of friends for Yule. These dolls were made well in advance of the holiday and I took my time making them. The design was quite simple as each wears a robe like the ones they make and sell in their online shop. Both took just about 14 hours of work before they were done and shipped off. This was the first time I had trusted any of my dolls to the US Postal Service. It was a stressful experience.
