Ginger is an elf I created in 2019.
She was made by me, but the whole idea was developed in a group of 10 women other than me, after a week talking about creativity on my instagram account.
That's why this project is so special to me! <3
Here you'll find the written pattern, which is also on my instagram, and there's 4 supporting videos on my youtube channel.
I hope you have fun with Ginger!
