Stump dolls are figures without legs or feet -- normally the 'costume' creates the bottom of the doll. Here, I used two layers of fabric as the figure's bottom half -- the brown/tan underskirt with a green lace overlay. Upper arms are of the same fabrication, and the lower arms and hands are the same pink knit as her neck and upper chest. I used the scalloped edge of the green lace to create the neckline and sleeve ruffles -- it also serves to cover some not-so-pretty construction details. A lady needs her dignity!
I placed her hands together so she can hold small objects. Below it's a heart necklace, but it will ultimately be small white 'meadow flowers' in keeping with my current forest/nature theme.
Most figures need to be weighted to keep them steady -- this one has a ziplock baggie with a few handfulls of beans inside.
