Art IS paperclay doll...moving along!




I am so inspired right now...By everything around me...So many Ideas that I want to put out into this doll...Now I am in the home stretch and I'm getting siked to Wig her.  But I have to get her outfit together...then i will know how her hair should fall.  Sometimes it just works out like that!

I have "Jewel jointed her with metal findings , stones and shimery beads.  She really is poseable and even a little "dangly"!!!!!

I have a ton of "Vintagy" fabrics ,ribbons, and Doo dads that I am "Auditioning". 
I had beautiful  tiny vintage Crepe roses that I tea stained that I will definately use on her....They look "old" but "Pretty"......
