Beaded doll: Frodo Baggins

Now that I've figured out how to do cloaks, it's time to put it to good use, so for this week I've got a doll of Frodo Baggins from Lord of the Rings. The outfit is based on the movie version, including the green elven cloak received in Lothlórien. The tricky bit about this doll was that he's wearing quite a few layers - shirt and vest, then a coat, and then the cloak on top. And since he's a child-sized doll, that requires a lot of fiddling.

I think I'm getting better at beading hair that actually behaves like hair, though this one took seemingly forever...
