I participated in an "alien" doll swap through an online group. It was my first swap and the particpants - very talented. I was a little nervous, hoping mine would not fall short. After serveral days of trying to figure out what an alien might look like, I checked my stash of materials and wouldn't you know it - I found a face I thought I'd never use because I thought it was too scary looking for a doll. It ended up making the perfect alien face. I had so much fun beading this one and ended up rather pleased with the results.
The doll form (by Monica Magness) was made of silk and was a dream to work with. She's about 7" tall and 'landed' in Germany when she was swapped.
In a challenge on another online group we were to bead something 'wild & free'. I opted for a little stuffed toy from McDonald's. A neo pet is what it was called I believe. My grandson was kind enough to donate it for the challenge. From that "Neo" was born. I don't know what is used to attach the 'eyes' on this thing, but it was impossible to bead through. The seams were pretty tough too. I had fun beading him, but boy was I happy when he was done.
