......well, guess what the heck THIS thingie above is??!!! It's a twig "doll", of course. We lost one of our dogwood trees to the drought and went to cut it down, and I "saw" this little girl doll who seemed to be running away! So I saved the branch and cut her out with pruning shears; then hubby finished his job of sawing the tree down. See below photo for her natural neck decoration............
........she has a beautiful area of light green lichen already growing and attached to her "neck", so I will make her a head of some kind, and wrap her with fabric or yarns or wool rovings and beads. Eventually. Right now she's running along my workbench wall where I can see her. Don't want her to get lost!
