Art Dolls

First spirit doll- made in a workshop with the Dallas Area Fiber Artists in March.  The workshop was taught by Denise Spillane. When I got home I posted a photo in our postcard exchange group and many people wanted know how to make a spirit doll- so I took photos of creative writing spirit doll and wrote step by step instructions.

Mermaid and Garden dolls made to swap.

Small Dottie Dolls I made to trade with FAT- Fiber Art Traders.  The dolls are about 6" tall and made from assorted shapes.  Each dolls face is done of felt, stamped with different face designs.  Then the faces are embellished with assorted beads.

Art Doll Pin- made from a felted kit from ArtGirlz- LOVE them!

Button Betty - Art Doll

Button Betty was made while we were visiting Denton Texas.  We went into a few antique stores and I found some awesome vintage buttons.  While my husband was out with friends and after the girls just could not swim any more- Betty was born.

Made from an embroidery pattern called Quilting Gals. The cd comes with several faces and quilts that you can machine embroider.  My gal also has some machine felting and couched yarn with the Husqvarna Viking new couching feet set.
