Finished the Fairy Art Doll



























I was able to finish the Fairy Art doll by the "holiday" party... This doll was a gift to stephanie...I had to get her done after I received the beautiful Witch doll in the mail! Just the inspiration I needed to complete a project!!! haha!!


After doing 3 pair of hands ...I had to go with this last pair....I was running out of time! The hands are a bit strong for this doll...i need to learn to streamline and make them more feminine, but its the journey!!! I'll keep at it...I'm Also working on expressive eyes...and lids...this is a tough area for me...Lips and noses flow a little easier .....


Her Shirt is a piece of plain old tea stained cotton..then stamped with my favorite "jester" print...then fee motioned...adding ribbons with free motion. Her Tiny shoes are clay soles with Leather uppers...the petals of her skirt were heated to curl and then free motion stitched ribbon on all of the edges...The heart embellishments were made with my tiny "heart cutter" set out of clay...stamped..pearl pwders and then glazed.

Colleen, I just LOVE her. The pics don't do her justice. Thanks again sooooo much. I am so honored, humbled, and unworthy!
