Egg shell Humpty Dumpty Doll

Most of us know the famous nursery rhyme "Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall", which tells the tale of Humpty Dumpty and his fall. I started doing this Humpty Dumpty Doll doll for my 19 months old daughter. Ended up with a doll in the picture below.

I felt that the doll was not resembling Humpty Dumpty. Something was missing. So I started browsing for Humpty Dumpty pictures and found that his structure is completely Oval. When I read the origin of Humpty Dumpty Doll I came to know the fact that he is an Egg. I changed my doll design and this is my entry for Shama's Kids friendly event My daughter was so excited to see the doll. Hope other kids will also like it.
