Prom Queen (art doll)

I had a lot of fun playing yesterday…. and she was the result. I was
inspired by a doll in Lisa Vollrath’s February issue of The Monthly Muse which was all about art dolls. She had this one doll that used bamboo skewers, and that’s what started this doll… the end result is drastically different, but the inspiration was there. :)

The remaining inspiration came from the fruit netting (the kind of net bag your fruit comes in when you buy it at the supermarket) and the fact that i had some yarn that matched it perfectly. I started off making the dress/body, and by the time I finished that I already knew her name. Then all I had to do was make a head. :)

I’m very proud of myself—I actually made an artdolll without wings. A definite accomplishment given how much I love by large butterfly stamp. I have a couple more dolls in the works…. one polymer clay based, one fiber, and one assemblage. I’ll get them up as soon as I get them done.

Have a creative day! :)
