Glamour Girls



My two latest dolls are good for some giggles. I made them for a textile show (no word yet if they've been accepted). Martha (as in: martha realized she really needed a new fairy godmother) started life as a wet felted piece I began embellishing. Then, of course, I had to make a piece to match for the back of her dress - months later! She's ready for the ball, but somehow I don't think the prince will dance with her.
Evelyn (unraveled: evelyn knew she was losing more than just her mind) is a needle felted head who grew like topsy. She's somewhat autobiographical. Not sure which of us is falling apart faster...
I am, as always, trying to find time to get back to art. It's been weeks without so much as a glance into my studio.

I Hope she's accepted! This is a very original and an exceptional fibre piece. Good Luck! Check out my blog, and maybe follow? I am going to follow yours to see what you're up to next! I write reflective pieces and post my mixed media art; I exhibit in gallery's from Fort Myers to Massachusetts. http://www.mixthemedia247.blogspot.com
