Garden Fairie Doll head

Here is what I have been working on for the last week.I'm making a garden fairie for a friend who lives in California.We have been swapping since two years now.Willow likes to make soap and she is darn good at it!So we are swapping soap for a doll.The head is made of a jewelry gourd and I have used sculpt epoxy to make the face and the ears and the neck.I will let you know some more of the process soon.Tomorrow I will be going to town and hope to find some thing to make the hair with.I think I will post the pictures on my picasa photos.I have pictures so far of the begining and will take some more till the end...kind of a tutorial.Ok,I added all the pictures so far on one photo.That should help for now.I did go to Wally world and bought some lions brand yarn for the hair but I now have to figgure out how the style will be.

Voo Doo Art Doll/finished

Here is my Swamp Na Na Fortune
My sewing machine is broken.And so there is no sewing on her.I cut strips of material and ribbons for the skirt and made a loop around a wire tie.Then I put that around her waist.The bats and bells are a symbol of good luck.
So is the monkey bead skull.

Voo Doo Doll~Swamp Na Na Fourtune

This is the little VooDoo doll I've been working on for a swap in Kas's the dark side group.Not even close to being done yet.I still have to add her dress and all the little money drawing charms that will go on that.The head is made out of a jewelry gourd,and then I used some sculp epox for the face & glasses.The eyes I made out of some small minny magnifying glass pieces I had.This will be a long post so I will add some more latter.

Under the sea ATC Art doll

This is the ATC art doll I have made for a trade with Tess and Deb.
I have only made a couple of these art dolls,and I'm not sure if I made it right.
Why because I know the art dolls are suposed to have a brad some where to allow movement.But this one has no movement.But I also know that the art doll can be folded up and so I made this one as a three fold back round.I hope they like it.

Art Doll Goddess Danu

This is my vision of the river goddess Danu.I found a web site with some paper dolls to download for free.

I changed the ears and the head piece of the fairy paper doll she had.Then I made the dress different and added legs.

Art Doll

Here are the little piggies I made for the art doll swap.The doll was to be any thing flying.This was my first (ART DOLL).Yes I have made paper dolls but these are just a little different.I looked and asked around for some information on what the rules were,if any.The only rule I know of is the doll must be able to fold up to be the size of an artist trading card.So not being sure I made my little piggies the size of the ATC backround.The wings move and the bottom legs move.The wings were made out of some 2" wide ribbon I had.
