Yes, Deathly Hallows Part 2 has come and gone, and the saga of Harry Potter has finally come to an end. Some of us have nothing to look forward to. But me, I'm gonna keep on crocheting. I might not be as crazy as to crochet up a Hogwarts for these dolls but I just might end up completing the cast! (yeah, right)
Dumbledore took the longest to make, and also the most fun. I don't know how many times I redid his beard and robes but they turned out better than I expected. And I just adore hi fez.

Bellatrix is my favorite in the movie. Helena is so right for the part. I do like how this turned out except for the hair which I wish was more frizzy. I would have wanted to unravel the strands but the black cotton crochet I use is rather fragile and breaks easily when unraveled so I just didn't risk it.

I do love my Snape too (of course). I did the straight greasy hair look because I'm still not used to the just-washed and wavy I'm-the-new-headmaster-of-Hogwarts-look.

Here hs is sans the flowing robes. I do like the tunic thingy. I copied it from
this picture of him.

And last but not the least, and the one I had to completely do over a couple of times, is Voldemort. I can never get him to frown just right.

And to those who are expecting potheads, look! I wrapped them up for you so they won't get filthy and lose their wands in the mail. :)

...from Neil Gaiman's Sandman, that is. An old friend asked if i could do it, and all I have to say is that I hope I did Death justice. I was going to add a studded belt and put some buckles on her boots but I kinda like her simpler like that. That is a v-neck tank top, by the way. Can you tell? 
Her ankh is made from jewelry bead wire. I wish I had a thinner chain though. Or maybe I should have used silver thread?
And here's a shot of her eye-thingy. (Yes, Sandman fans, I don't know what it's called or why it's there. Have been meaning to read the books but have not gotten around to it yet. Bear with me). Also, if you notice, I gave her eye a double dose of black yarn for the "heavy black eyeliner" look. I really hope I did her justice. Now, if anyone can link this to Neil Gaiman (you signed my copy of Coraline!) I'd greatly appreciate it! :) posted by m
After the longest time they're finally done! Our Supernatural boys are here at last. I must confess Dean and Cas's hair suck because I still can't get the hang of Owlishly's tute. I really need to practice.
Both dolls have changeable clothes, and shoes too. And I threw in some bags to boot, because I just couldn't resist. These dolls are custom-made, or at least as custom as my powers would allow. I hope they are dearly appreciated (I expect comments, Chris. hehe)
This is my first attempt at glasses, and I hope this one survives the postal trip. It's made from stainless steel wire wrapped in cotton crochet yarn. Not really that bendy, unless until someone sits on it.
All in all a rather stressful project because this was my first attempt at clothes that aren't in a form of a dress (and even so, the first dress I made was for the ami witch but I didn't have time to write that pattern down!). But it was a lot of fun to do. The little princess has already placed an order. Maybe I'll make a tiara for her doll.
So here is my little witch girl. She's about 4.5 inches without her hat, and about 5.5 with the hat. She is the first big doll I've finished so far. Yeah, I know 4.5 inches isn't that big but it's big enough for me, what with my short attention span when it comes to making big projects.
