Dolls (Mine), Ye Olde Shoppe UpdatesYour Name12 Comments

My most recent group of dolls don't really have a theme per se - I just tried to use more colour than usual in effort to rebel against the frozen drabness of January.  My dolls' hair and clothes continue to become more and more asymmetrical, which is fun because it gives me a lot of freedom and I really enjoying texturing fabric.  I'm posting the first ten dolls today and will post the next four on Tuesday.

Winnie, in the upper right-hand corner, is the doll whose proceeds will go to Doctor's Without Borders Haitian relief fund.  I named her after a little girl that was rescued after three days buried under the rubble.

I'm also working on a couple of prints; just keeping my fingers crossed that I can finish them by Wednesday.
