Love, love these harlequin faces created by Chris at CS Designs. I wanted to do something a little different so I thought I would try an art doll.
The shapes behind her head for the spirelli are also from CS Designs. I used three different embroidery threads on this one. I have to tell you this doll was so much fun to figure out and put together!
I die cut scallop ovals and folded them in half for her skirt and glued them to a dowel rod. Her bodice is a wedge shape. Her arms are twined blue chenille stems.
I like trying to figure out who she really is...her outfit is somewhat Elizabethan and her face is somewhat Middle Eastern...maybe she belongs in a sci-fi feature. What do you think?
Come join us at Art With No Boundaries - the theme is always Anything Goes. The bonus round challenge this time is Just Clowning Around. Have a happy, happy week!
OMG...she is fabulous! The colouration on her face is outstanding and I love the dress she is wearing. So creative, Lori. I just love her!
ReplyDeleteA breath taking project. Just beautiful. Since I'm a Sci-Fi/Fatasy fan I would say she needs to be a queen of her own realm.
