Spirit Dolls

The first two Spirit Dolls were fast in the conception but slow in the creation. Illness had me unable to get to the art table not nearly often enough. I've improved and have been able to play/work for several days in a row. And.....tadum! Actually finished one and two and got some nearly acceptable photos.
These dolls are made from a driftwood frame with polymer clay faces, and dressed with thread, ribbon, yarn, fabric, feathers, beads, and polymer  clay pebbles, All my dolls have rhythm and are not shy about showing you their moves!! the original idea came from a guide by Joanna Powell Colbert, which she generously shared. Google her. You may want to create your own!

She who would be who she would be

Except for the garden she stands in "She who would be..." is finished.
I wanted a beach comber doll. She refused. I decided with her uptilted head she could be a bird watcher. She refused. She even attempted to self destruct! She upped the heat on the oven and scorched her fingers. (What you see now are prosthesis of sorts.) Before I agreed to the necessary surgery I had my own little tizzy and threw her under the table and tried to ignore her. She pulled on my pants leg, mumbled and grumbled and generally caused so much havoc in the studio I was forced to pull her back up and see what I could do. None of this changed her haughty attitude at all. She thinks she is an aristocrat at least and maybe royalty!
I quit arguing. This is She. She who would be what she would be.
