........and this is the newest beaded art doll in the "fantasy freeform" round robin to come in the mail this week! There are no rules in freeform beading, so if I screw it up, nobody knows it! Not even me! What fun.....her face is a textured bead instead of the usual clay face with features; it bothers me when dolls don't have features or faces, so I'm gonna bead on the back side so I won't see it.
The cheesecloth in this photo is some that I dyed with Kool=Aid, not knowing at the time that it would wash out when I rinsed the excess off!
So instead of getting dark colors, I got washed-out pastels. Not to worry:
I dug out some old Easter egg dye tablets and re-dyed it...........now I have pretty purple, turquoise, pink, and a horrid bright orange! (I don't care for orange.) The cheesecloth is for some mail-art postcards, and maybe some for my "stick girl" posted here several days ago..........stay tuned!

Hi Phyl,
This is going to be a nice doll when done. Free form is certainly forgiving and fun to do.

Maggie:I'm having fun dragging out oodles of tubes and bags of beads to find the other colors the doll's mom wanted on her! I hope my "freeform" addition will merge...!
Yep, I've been doing fabric and paper and embellished post cards for 3 yrs... working on one now for Monica's contest too! She's a hoot, isn't she?!
Thanks for the updates!

Phyl this doll is coming along so great! I see the cheesecloth you were mentioning before... I like the orange, tho horrid it may be to you... (big laughs) even accidents are forgiving at times.!!! Oh I never thought of using easter egg dye before, you are such a wit! Bravo! How are you liking the free form?
