Here's the front and back view of one of my beaded art dolls. She's about 6" tall and was made for a dear friend who lives far away. She's made with mostly seed beads of different sizes; a clay face from a mold; and hand-dyed silk ribbon for her hair. ..........I'm getting addicted to making these babies! And a year ago I would have bet $$$$ that I couldn't make one, but thanks to the kind and generous ladies on the Beaded Art Doll yahoo group who let me join them, I can now actually do basic stitches (a few!).
NOW they're making me learn to do "freeform beading".............! It's coming along slowly and makes me cuss a lot, but it's beautiful and I hate to admit I'm loving it!!! Heh, heh..........
