I started this doll before we left for Brasilia, and after the trip in my luggage I realized that there are still some things I need to work on with my dollmaking. I finally feel like I know what I’m doing with the faces, I loved creating this doll and she was inspired by a wonderful print I bought from The Black Apple.
I’m still learning about how and when to use Gesso, how much stuffing the dolls’ faces need. Even with her cracked face I decided to make some arms and legs and finish off her dress… I couldn’t bear to put her into a box in a dark corner.
So, she’ll sit and remind me of the things I’m still working on, but I think that she’ll be a good Muse, I love all the things that went right with her too.
Hey there!
Is it really all made from garbage? That is so great.
Maybe you would like to put your art on http://www.superuse.org, a website for design from waste.

I think she’s lovely. Keep up the good work!
this doll is also gorgeous! is she considered an art doll? i’m just learning about that. i’ve been making dolls for children, and i’ve been trying to be very careful about materials i use, for safety. i wish i could paint their faces on, but i honestly don’t know what’s safe to use 😦 i need to research that.
