Finished!
Well, other than her stander. I'm so very pleased with her. We will be taking some pro quality photos of her with her stander in the next few days.
Barbie Redux Doll
Here are some pictures, taken by my husband, of my Barbie Redux doll, "Winged Victory". The exhibit starts August 7th with a reception in the evening. 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.

Let me tell you about her staff, which I think would be a fine magic wand also. We went walking to look for a stick in my neighborhood, only to find that it was very tidy and there was nothing but twigs. Just as I was about to give up and suggest we drive somewhere more wilderness-like, I noticed a 4 foot stick leaning out through the fence of a big empty field. It seemed like it was beckoning. I grabbed it. It turned out to be eucaluptus - red gum - as I found from the fragrance when I peeled off the bark and started sanding.
The crystal was also serendipitous. My dh was walking in our neighborhood and stopped by a yard sale where someone was evidently clearing out their jewelry box. He came back with tons of vintage pieces and neclaces with tiny beads ready to be unstrung and sewn on to things (wait till you see the bead head Bride comeing next) - and that lovely perfectly scaled quartz crystal wand.
