Lisa Tribute doll completed


Lisa Heyman was a very special and beautiful person. Tributes to her life have been collected at http://lheyman.blogspot.com/ where people she touched and inspired have written of their gratitude that she was in their lives even if it was only "virtually".

This is my Lisa tribute doll, made with brightness and fire and light - all words that appear over and over in the condolence messages. It can't do her heart and mind justice, but it is a step in that direction.

Shaman Spider Woman Bead Head Doll

This is the Shaman/Spider Woman doll I made as a very special wedding gift. I wanted to invoke the Native American connection to their wedding ceremony . Many of the items for the charms and trim are from vintage jewelry including a Kokopelli pin and road runner turquoise earrings that were my mother's. Some of the beads were new purchases, others from vintage necklaces taken apart. Many of the fabrics used in the patchwork over robe were given to me by my mother-in-law. She has a huge collection of different vintage fabrics that she has collected over the last 40+ years in her travels. I combined upholstery fabrics with antique embroideries, printed Indian silks and quilting cottons, including small scale liberty prints. My daughter contributed a lot of her design talents to the project. It was she who designed the tattoos for the doll's cheeks.
