My art doll revisited
i have to say i really didn't like the way the face came out on my doll and i wasn't sure if it would survive the trip so tonight i figured out what she really wanted to be

her name is flower queen
she lives in the forest and uses what man throws away to create everything that she might need her head is a large hair barette and her face is a pog covered in fun plastic and a clay face i added a flower petal and a leaf to her back so that she looked more finished her body is a plastic container from a bead kit , her hands are the lids from two bead tubes and her legs are the bead tubes her feet are from a bag of potpourri
This is another art doll of sorts that i made tonight i guess i was in a creative mood

she will not me going anywheres as im sure she would not survive the trip in one piece but
i do like the way she came out and since she fit the theme I decided to include her in the photo shoot
She is
Keeper of words
written on her hand are the words inspire,hope dream,believe , peace, love and knowledge
on her fingers are 3 protectors of the words and their true meaning and power

her base is made from an empty cd spindle the hand is one that is used to display jewerly her hair is a sea sponge and her face is a larger washer with a clay face on it
the hand is colored with alcohol ink and i used a brown sharpie to add the words
The base has a copper chain and some small screws for added interest
