Neytiri Poppet :) My third poppet!

[MamanTattoo]

I decided to make a poppet for my cousin that recently lost her mom (and grand-mother 2 month after that, the very same way her mom died).

I was going to make a random blue fairy, when another cousin that was home when I was attaching the legs said it looked like a Na'vi...Of course!

I lost contact with that cousin, but I've grew up with her, and I'm 110% SURE she adored the movie Avatar. So I went for it! Here's Neytiri!


She's stuffed with polyfill upcycled from teddies. Her body is blue felt, and I've painted the pattern and "lights".



Her cloths are some kind of a fake leather I had.
The face is done with acrylic paint.


The feather in her hairs is I believe from a roster, the beads are wooden and her bracelets are various glass & acrylic beads.
Her hairs are chenille.



She's a tad more carveous than the regular Na'vi!
Her necklace (made with feather in the movie...) is done with I think sea shell sticks which give a close enough effect



I'm still thinking of a way to make a spear or a... you know those things that throws arrows? (LOL at my french not wanting to translate tonight! >_<)
I would have made her googles but I have no acetate on hands

thanks for looking!
if you have any comment to improve her, I'm open, as She's not given yet!

edit to say: Aww! thanks for the features it's my first one! And thanks for all the nice comments! The Googles are comming!

Wow! this is amazing! I knew who she was the moment I saw her! Great job!

C'est magnifique! I think it's beautiful, and my boyfriend says I should make one, too! I love her ears

Do you mean a bow, or an atlatl that throws spears?

For her goggles, you can cut a piece out of a big coke bottle.

She is so beautiful.  You have done an amazing job. the detailling is superb. This rocks for sure!

[Tropic_Rose]

Great job! How big is she?

[Scribble Dolls]

Ohh, I LOVE her. She looks wonderful!

I'm sorry to hear about what your cousin is going through, but I'm sure she's going to love this. 

[onegroovyday]

she is wonderful.... you did a great job.....love the detail

[Angry Angel]

How cool is this? I love all the detail, she looks wonderful!

[averyg]

I totally thought of making an Avatar way back when the movie posters were first coming out, but I just never got around to it...
But she looks really great!
I think that your cousin is really lucky to receive her

[MamanTattoo]

Yes, Bow! lol sorry for the blank, ahah!

She's about 1 feet and a half

Alexus, your idea is great but we don't drink soda :S but I'll try to find some other plastic to use!

thanks for all the nice comments!

[LimeRiot]

The detail and workmanship is impeccable! Her face is beautiful - your hand painting is great.

This is such a nice gesture for your cousin. I'm sure she appreciates it.

[teachingjonah]

She's beautiful! You did a wonderful job with the painting.  I'm surprised I haven't seen more avatar dolls actually.

[Belladune]

to freakin' cool!!!!  She's gorgeous!

[Lindag35]

She is AMAZING to say the least!! So much detail...and I agree about the painting. I knew her right away too....way to go!!

[kmichele_craftyfae]

Plastic from a water bottle will work too. I love her to bits! But you knew that already  I've already told hubby that I need blue fabric for my own Neytiri lol

[FoxyMama]

Beautiful job . . . I agree that the face painting is just wonderful.  I'm sure your cousin will love her!

WOW! 
She looks great! Do her spots glow, too?

[blue_lalita]

That's amazing! I started making a Na'vi doll, but I got overwhelmed... maybe I'll finish it some day. Yours is inspiring!

[MamanTattoo]

WOW! 
She looks great! Do her spots glow, too?

unfortunatly no! but I haven't give her yet so if I find any glowing paint on my way I'll re-work on her, hehe!

[CraftHooligan]

It's called a bow, that thing that shoots arrows.   
She looks amazing. totally amazing!

[awillowweeping]

I'm really impressed! A lot of work and love went into this. The paintwork looks amazing. Definitely a stunning doll.

[Ghostly]

  Simply amazing. I would love to see goggles! But I guess that's up to you and your beverage containers.

[ShammyCrafty]

She's beautiful. Good Job.

[dreadlocklove]

Wow, I'm impressed!  You are quickly becoming a craft hero of mine!

[aethelberga]

This is fantastic - I didn't see it the first time around. Very well done.

[puamelia]

I was wondering if anyone had attempted this... I hope to try my own some day too, but yours is sooooo excellent!! She is beautiful.

[fuhlaouer]
