This is Cookie! She knows that a curve is the sexiest distance between two points and she is proud of her voluptuous figure. From a Yiddish word meaning ripe and juicy, Zaftig has come to be understood as pleasantly plump.
Cookie is needle felted out of 100% wool. She is very soft and is fun to pose. Her gorgeous red hair is from dyed curly wool.
Cookie dropped something!!
I created Cookie using soft sculpture techniques that I learned from Birgitte Krag Hansen. She is not totally complete yet as I have to do much needling to create a less fuzzy skin. I just had to share her because she makes me laugh! When I get her done I will post a video of Cookie in motion!
Ohh I love your work, is beautiful.I want to learn how to make puppets well, I am in love with needle felting. I made dolls sculpted in cloth. Two months ago I discovered the technique needle felting .I would like to share knowledge with you. My English is not good but I hope I understand.Y love your blog!!! Congratulations!! PD: I regret your disease
Love Cookie and your lovely philosophy about zaftig! I’m just getting into felting dolls myself, made one lovely creature a few years ago called Salimagundi…actually she made herself!
