Well, I've finished my white creation. After many days agonizing over what she is I have decided that she is a Snow Queen. Here are a few pics.
Her crown is made from Christmas tree icicles and her hair is silk roving.
She has venice lace cuffs, an ornately beaded neckline and a staff made from copper wire and crystal beads.
I also made her a cape and embellished it with crystal beads on the lapels and silver trim with larger acrylic beads on the hem.
Her boots are buttoned up with acrylic beads and I used the same beads to make her heels.
I'm beginning to think that there are certain powers at play
here that take over my creative process and things become whatever the powers
want. When I started out I wanted to
have this really ethereal figure with wind blowing in her hair and her clothing
wispy and drapey. I was thinking along
the lines of Stevie Nicks meets the Wicked Witch of the West. The Snow Queen is who I ended up with. Not complaining, but I wonder what my next creation is going to look like.
Listening to Eva Cassidy, Fountains of Wayne, Gotye,
Grateful Dead, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Corky and the Juice Pigs, They Might Be
Giants and Walk Off The Earth.
Wow....she's lovely...her crown is amazing. I think you make wonderful dolls:)
