WAY OUT OF MY BOX

Well, yesterday I was struck with an idea, my muse was screaming at me to pay attention.  I did.  She was taking me way out of my comfort zone....but you know what, it was fun.  This just came together and I am not sure if I will sell it or not, not a very cohesive piece in my shop!?!  But she may make her way there, we shall see.  Now for sale: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=40715374
  I used an old spool and covered it with batting and seam binding.  Next some rusty wire and of course, some jewels.  This is one of the doll heads I have remaining from the lot of doll parts I found last year.  So here is the new assemblage, "hey Doll face".

Sidenote:  I wish you could have seen my husbands face when I showed this to him this morning, priceless... lol

  6. I dig it. I mean granted it scares me a little bit but its like a very cool voodoo doll for somebody who is a seamstress, or... seamster (not to be sexist). It looks vaguely french. Diggable.

  8. I love the whole feel of the piece, Kathy. Creepy but not too creepy. Intriguing and curious. Right up my alley for sure!

  9. Hi Kathy - well, um, she's definitely unusual! But very cool!

    BTW, I doubt you could get the bottle cozy in NO since it's handmade! If you really want it, use the link in my Mardi Gras blog!!

    Anyway, are we thrilled about the Saints, or what?!!!

  10. Well it looks like your muse took you to a great place! This doll is simply a doll :) I'm so origional some times. Thank you for your comments on my blog. I can't wait to get back on etsy. It seems like every time things start to slow down here new things start pulling me away. I do miss you ladies though.
