Flower Art Dolls


These dolls were made from a kit I won as part of a
 prize from the multi talented
 and you can read about them
 here.

This is what the kit looked like before I opened it


The kit contained materials to make one full size and one petite doll.

Once I plucked up the courage to start and stuck on the faces,
I then got carried away with all the embellishments,
adding a few bits and pieces from my own stash too.


I copied the dolls on Linda's blog used the dolls on Linda's blog as inspiration, all of her art dolls are fantastic!

Once I'd finished the large doll, the petite one was easier.
Don't they look cute together!


Well, it's only taken me since March to use the kit,
which has been sitting on the end of my craft desk in a pile
of miscellaneous things I want to do first but don't actually get around to!
I'm encouraged now .... better get the duster out first though,
it's surprising how much dust can accumulate in 4 months!!!

Four momths!..... Is that all?! Can't remember when I last dusted (such a slut!)
Anyway, these are just adorable.....Love their beautiful little faces framed with the flowers and the colours are just perfect. And their eyes sparkling with glitter and their lovely little mouths all glossy! Just SO pretty.

WOW WOW WOW Sherry, you outdid yourself again!! LOVE these dolls, how you embellished them, totally fab!! BTW: be careful with that vacuum cleaner, if I clean my craftroom I always put small things aside, more than once I've had to open up the cleaner to retrieve missing items, LOL! Have a great weekend, Ira x

Oh you lucky girl winning those and you've made wonderful job of them!
Now is it just me, but I think the larger dolls face actually looks like Linda's own face, do you think it is a self portrait ?
