my second attempt at a needle felted dottee doll
this was also for a swap the theme is Hell's Angle dottee or biker dottee
I think she looks more like a twisted Gypsy but i still
like the way she came out
she has a dud rag on her head but it
dosen't show up very well
so even bikers use gypsy's so maybe
shes a biker gypsy ok
thats what she is going to be a biker gypsy
Thats my story and im sticking with it....

needle felted dottee doll
I needed to make a dottee doll for a swap and wanted
to try my hand at something a bit
different so i decided to needle felt
this one
she is made from various colors of needle felted elements
hair , tail , face and body
the only thing that is not needle felted is the hanger I wanted to make sure it was strong enough to last so i used string for the hanger

recycled autum art doll
I finally got her done
I am really happy with the way she came out
I use some metal coils that were trimed from a metal gutter for her legs
her base is an old box that held some scrapbook brads
that came in a kit
the body is packaging from something can't remember what
the arms are plastic Wal mart and Dollar General bags braided and wrapped around some scrap wire
the head is an old milk cap
the hair is a couple of large scrapbook flowers that i had left from a project.
the paper thats inside her body is the backing from some copper leafing paper that i had used up and a torn quote from an old magazine headed for the recycle bin
her green skirt is the mask design that My Hubby had cut out for one of his projects that he had painted and removed I seen it laying on the trash bin when i was looking for parts for my doll so decided that it would make a lovely skirt.
her face is a polymer clay face that i molded its from my stash. that and her hair the only two things that aren't recycled
the brace i used to hold her up and give her a bit of added support is a metal piece that was removed from some damaged gutters and headed for the recycle bin

my first Bracelet ever
fall theme swap napkin rings and napkins
this is a set of napkin rings and cloth napkins
I made the napkin rings from paper towel rolls and wrapped them with green hemp , added a fall leaf and a clay face . I really like the way they came out .
I made a set of 6 using two different kinds of leaves oak and maple 3 of each
I did the napkins the same way I made 3 each from two different kinds of material my idea is that they could be alternated around the table creating and interesting place setting for up to 6 people

another amulet bag i made for a friend
I made this bag for a friend
I learned a lot from the first one and I think it came out a bit better I used a piece of copper for the closure and choose a moon charm as embellishment I textured the copper and added a bit of color with some alcohol ink.
