Okay, I finally got those pictures I promised. Beading For A Cure puts together a kit each year, which you purchase, then you make a project that they will auction off the following Spring. This is my second year participating and I really enjoy it. I love the colors in the kit this year - purples and bronzes. You are allowed to add one type of bead/color. I chose a blue because blue is a healing color. I made my very first doll form for this project that I am calling Healing Dance Spirit Doll. I am using a polymer clay face that I have been holding onto for a couple of years now waiting for the right project. I got it off of Ebay, but I cannot remember who made it. Sorry about that.
Here is the kit
These are the beads I added
Here is the face I used. I love this face, it says Spirit to me
I did one of the Reiki healing symbols called Cho Ku Rei in the blue to add healing energy.
I also added green Jade cabachons to the front and back.
I am doing blue spirals all over the doll.
Here are full frontal and back views of the doll. Remember, this is my very first hand sewn doll I have ever made from drawing the pattern to sewing and stuffing myself.
So that is the start of my project. I will keep you updated on its progress.
Cat,

Oh I love this doll! Wonderful form and that face is fantastic! Can't wait to see what it looks like when you are done :)
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone. I am pretty happy with her.
ReplyDeleteYour 1st totally original doll? Very nice! I like the hard face with the soft body. Sounds like a great project/benefit.
