Tory Troll Art Doll ITH Design
$13.00
Tory is a troll with a mischievous grin from ear to ear and big ol’ puppy dog eyes. He's a great little character for Halloween, Woodland Decor, or GoblinCore.
He's designed as an art doll with wire armature in his body so he can stand alone. Jointed arms and head give him lots of posing options. You can also make him without wire armature for a floppy version.
The files for Tory Troll include:
- 4 size options.
- Ragged pants and embroidered vest patterns
- Clear Instructions with color photos
- links to my Dollmakers video series where you can see all the skills and techniques needed for this art doll.
