Work Begins on the Baby

You see a lot of holes from pulled out hooking in this area.  I am reusing a piece of backing.  I was able to choose different sections from the lightest wool to hook the fingers, adding a bit of the dark in between.  I was careful to keep the fingers short because I wanted his fingers curled into a fist.  This is the first time I thought about the sex of the baby.  Guess it’s a boy!

I hook the baby’s eyes using the same method I used for mom.  Hook the upper lash line with dark, hook the iris, hook the pupil, then hook the lower lid with skin color.  Fill the whites of the eyes and then add the highlight to give life to the face.
