A Teeny Tiny Chair for some new wooden dolls: Help! what color should I paint it!?

by Noreen on February 6th, 2007

When I was working on the tutorial for spoolknitting the dress for the Merrie Sunshine dolls

(click on spoolknitted doll dress)
I got all inspired and I ended up designing a whole heap of wonderful new wooden dolls.

They’re like paper dolls- but they’re wooden.

And, they don’t have arms or legs.

DON’T GO EEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUU!

They aren’t the victims of some unfortunate karmic drama!

NO! they are an invitation to creativity!

I make the doll and then people go spoolielooping and have a wonderful time, making arms, legs, fashion statements etc

with them!

You can see a whole bunch of them by clicking on

Lolly Pop Dolls

By the way, the  Merrie Sunshine spoolknitted dress fits the Lolly Pop dolls poifeckly!

I decided that I needed to make them a special chair.

I’ve had this ice cream parlour chair forever. I love it.

The seat cushion is one that I spoolknitted, then wove.

Very comfie.

I decided that I just had to make a chair for the Lolly Pop dolls…. So, I got out the wire and went out to the workshop and had a little rummage in the ‘nyet’ box, and found a small offcut circle. Poifeck for the seat!

With a little drilling, twisting and twirling…..

Voila!

A leetle ice cream parlour chair for the Lolly Pop Dolls!

The only problem is… I don’t know what color to paint it!

Jim thinks red….

our daughter suggested bright pastels…..

I haven’t a clue…. Black? Blue? Green?

Help! What color(s) should I paint the teeny chair?

big hugs
