I'm going to be doing artist trading cards, collages, and altered books (eep!) with kids at Illinois' InHome homeschool conference mid month. I'm busy cutting cards, prepping books, and making glue dots right now. :)

She is adorable!!! How could anyone not smile with all those colors? Whoa, would you look at those cute feet! I WISH, WISH, WISH I get some crafting time this month, that's my wish. (Would a wishing doll help me do it?) Hmmm. Crafting plans... I would like to make a stamp with my sweet fairy on it; I hope to try using an embossing folder & gesso using the Perfect Crafting Pouch to stop the paint from sticking; and as always, I plan to keep my eyes open for new things to try. Good question, Robin--made me think!

I love your wish dolls - and that they come with a sachet is perfect!
This month, I'm trying ATC's for the first time. I'm also making charms and a charm bracelet; creating paper flowers and working in an art journal. Oh, and my favorite crafting time - making art with my 3 year old grandson!

I simply have to get my name in for this! Let me see - I have three more denim jackets to make, two small knitting projects to complete, and the class work for the Embroider, Embellish, Create online course I've been doing. Oh, and also work on the 'Road To My House' class work too. I think I have enough to keep me out of mischief for the month!

I don't have any crafting plans, my skills aren't strong in that artistic area. I will be working on my picture book dummy and updating my portfolio for a conference in April. Good luck with your March plans!

I plan to spend lots of time with the sewing machine: diaper bags, aprons and recycled t-shirt scarves are on the list (so far ;))
And I'll toss in some porcelain work, too, because I'm on a roll lately :D

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. She also chose the yarn combination for the hair, to coordinate with the robes. She sewed the little felt bag for the Kokopelli , a
