In Woven Star Baby- Part 1, I showed you how to shape the body, and make the Star Baby’s face.
Here’s how to finish the Star Baby:
ARMS:
Weave the yarn ends into the cord up to the middle.
Place the arms behind the body and stitch to the back.
LEGS:
Weave the yarn ends into the cord up to the middle.
Fold the cord in half and insert into the lower edge of the body.
Stitch the body closed.
STITCH THE STAR TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD:
Using the needle and thread, stitch the head to the star.
FINISHING:
If the Starbaby is going to be a hanging ornament, leave strands of yarn at the top point of the star and tie a knot about an inch/2.5 cm from the star point. Trim.
If the Starbaby is going to be a pin, stitch a pin to the back of the star.
Weave in all ends.
I added a little heart sticker to the chest. You can cut one or punch one out of paper and glue it on if you don’t have heart stickers.
Sweet Dreams and Happy Weaving! ❤

This is a tiny video that I made to introduce the Star Babies:
Many years ago, I had a wonderful dream about the Northern Lights.
I dreamt that thousands of shooting stars were streaming down the Northern Lights (aka Aurora Borealis), but when I looked closer, I saw that the shooting stars were actually Star Babies 🙂
They were laughing, tumbling and frolicing in delight.
It was a wonderful dream, and ever since then, I have designed and made variations on the theme of ‘Star Baby’.
Here’s my woven Star Baby:

I’ve just finished a new 6th Sense One of a kind art doll: ‘The Love of Trees’.
She’s 16 inches/42cm tall.
I sculpted the face then cast and painted it.
She’s a combination of weaving and knitting.
Above the trees is a mylar mirror.
Like all the other ‘6th Sense’ art dolls, she has 6 Canadian pennies that are a metaphor for coming to our senses, common sense, and the 6th Sense, which is actually a combination of intuition, inspiration, imagination and integrity.
