She's coming along nicely


With the addition of handmade rolled cloth beads and paper beads, she is really starting to get the encrusted, detailed finish to her outer gown that I was looking for. I think each of the rolled bundles represents a fable that she has collected.I'm doing a small hand painted and appliqued cloth book to go with her telling her story.

Oh Robyn, she is turning out just beautiful. Remind me what you're making her for again...she might need a home in Georgia. :-)

She's for the Socal Bench Project Artisan Fair on August 9th - my first craft fair.

I'm working on being able to accept credit cards for that event - and what doesn't sell will go on to Etsy or Ebay.

I'm so enjoying making this kind of doll - I know I will be making more of these taller figures as well as the Dream Stars.

I take commissions.....but not until after L&L, ok...

I'll be taking along some of my lovely ginger bread cake. There will be a Barbie look alike dress up contest and a treasure hunt. Her head still moves. I figure you could really screw with someone's mind - every time they look at the statue she's looking in a different direction. Heh, heh, heh.

Using double and single crochet and scorning a pattern, this is what the new basket looks like. Next to it, the last smaller but just as functional basket for comparison. The large one is roughly 18 inches high, and has a diameter of 22 inches.
