I made this lion dotee doll for a swapbot tag. I’m having trouble parting with this one.
It’s felt with embroidery thread and seed bead detail…quite simple really. It was really windy when I took this picture so I had to hold onto the tail to keep it steady…it’s a basic tassel.

What a cute little lion! I love the fuzzy mane!
I’m not normally “into” Dotees; but that has to be the cutest one ever! You can’t help but smile when you see his grin :)
I can see a baby’s room with a whole menagerie of “animal Dotees”
Was it hard to get his mane to stick out like that? It looks great. You did a great job on the face too.
Thanks, I’m really proud of this one.
It was surprisingly easy. The thread is just short enough that it naturally sticks out. It’s also pretty tightly sewn onto the felt which helps.
