Looking at the votes so far, the Norns now gather to watch to origins of DeltaNorn (Aqua) and then ZetaNorn (Burgundy).

The pink nose looks so good with the material colors! Can't wait to see this one finished.
What eye color will you put? |

Now just the eyes to add (going to keep to green or brown for them), and I have updated the template for the next burgundy Norn.

He is actually quite funny as I'll sit him beside me and he stays still for a moment, then he tilts his head a little to one side in quite a cute pose.. or maybe I need to take a little Norn break

I wish you could make a Sparta Norn out of one. You know, with a helmet, a cape, and a spear. It's like the picture in the news.
Creatures, and Civilization? I'll pay good money to have Norns form Nations and Cultures! |

I'm rather fond of that pretty sky blue! A periwinkle would be nice too!

Placing the templates on the felt as shown on the guide map, and drawing round them.

Having cut out the pieces with a small 5mm border, stitching begins on the back.

Once the back is ready, and the felt neaty ordered, the head is next.

At this point the pink tummy felt may also be prepared.

Those are so cute! I would like to see an aquatic blue norn doll.

The inside edge of the body can be stitched together by one Norn..

While another finishes sewing the top of the head.

Note the front two panels of the head have one edge free, and the back two have two edges free.

We now have the main parts of the head and body prepared...

I really like your self-made norndolls. When a new Creatures game is out *, I think you will do a good job designing norndolls!

Next, I think I might try a purplish fuchsia tone Norn.. 
I've shrunk the feet a little more, added to the tummy podge a tad, and lets see how it works out

*wants!* They're adorable and pudgy. Are you any happier with the design? |

They seem to be Norns in their own right, but still not as beanie-ish as I'd like..

Pfft, I showed the group picture to my mother and she couldn't tell the difference. Neither would I if it weren't for the color difference (and seeing all the making-of pictures along the way).

The Norndolls would lack character if their design was perfect. And I think little imperfections make for cuter Norns.  |

Seriously though, that Fuschia one is gorgeous! I look at it and feel a warm fuzziness inside.  |

One of them in the last photo has a green eye color. Is that the original one? 
They are well-made replicas.
