New Dream Doll "Marie"

"Marie"

New and vintage buttons and ornaments

Charms

I have just finished my latest one of a kind doll, "Marie". She will be auctioned this weekend to benefit The Peace Project at The Gallery 9 in Culver City.

She is about 14 inches tall, with a wire support armature. The fabrics of her body and dress are vintage upholstery fabrics. This toile print is one of my favorites. The beads are glass, shell and plastic. I've mixed faux and some real pearls.

I enjoyed using the Embellie Gellie from Scraperfect to make the beading process so much easier. I also used Best Glue Ever to adhere the hand painted face before beading.

Seed beads on the EG where I could grab them 
with my needle - so much easier than pinching 
between finger and thumb.

WOW, these are some of the most unique and interesting looking dolls I've ever seen! I'm more of a "country" themed person, but I really do like these. Great job!

 Have joined a new challenge - because I have not been at all able to keep up with my "month of" tasks. Getting guided for a week - that will be fun. Also I am determined to bring more art into my life.  Thanks to the artists at Pixabay.com for making images available for download and use. Worth browsing there.
