Finally! It's been a long hiatus from doll-making for me, but I have seven new busts with a (very subtle) Christmas-y theme. Well, really it's just a tiny bit of glitter. Much as I love Christmas and the holidays, and I'm not above some gaudy decorations, I couldn't think of way to incorporate the holidays into my dolls in any way I liked. But I found the most beautiful oyster shells on the beach a while ago, which I then soaked in a gentle oxygen bleach and scrubbed. I kept thinking of a beautiful Marian hymn, The Ocean Star, and this line in particular:
Pray for the Wanderer, Pray for Me
'Severin'
'Suranne'
'Mair'
Ide
Ansell
Catrin
Norah
