Her body needs some improvement, but I used tips I've learned from creating Amigurumi to put together pieces of her body and hair. I always create the head first, followed by the ears, body and legs. I'm picky in the way that I feel each piece should be connected to the next as soon as it's finished, but I should probably streamline this to become more productive.
Granny's hair was the most creative and enjoyable piece on my part. Because we don't really get a good look at the back of young Granny Smith, without her bonnet on, we don't know too much about her hair. Since I am a big fan of french braids, I decided to incorporate an inside out french braid for fun.
I'm a huge fan of tiny details, which is why I went the route of embroidered eyes. I order my felt from a local individual, and use colored cotton floss to bring life to all my creatures. Granny's eyes were done in an amber ombre and the truly are my favorite of all that I've done.
No southern belle is complete without her bonnet. Young Granny's red frilly bonnet is completely crocheted, and can be unattached from her head for broader playing capabilities, as well as safer sleeping arrangements if your little ones take her to bed.
All dressed up with nowhere to go, our pony is decked out from nose to hoof. She has her previously mentioned bonnet, apple themed frilly kerchief, and baby blue saddle bags. Granny can carry all her necessities to and from the market with ease.
