I adore small beaded dolls, they work up quick and feel great in my hands. Many times I will bead dolls, with no particular recipient in mind - just to bead. Most of my beaded dolls become gifts to friends, a few have been donated for fund raising auctions and I have kept a few for myself.
This doll was made with a particular friend in mind. Someone I met last spring while on a volunteer vacation in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. She lives in New Mexico. Last fall we (her and another friend) had a little reunion in Minneapolis. She went on and on about the fall colors, to the point she wanted to take some leaves home with her. She never did take any leaves with her, so I beaded up this doll in colors that remind me of fall.
The doll form is about 2" tall by Monica Magness, polymer clay face by Jen Martin at GraphixOutpost (a favorite face artist). Other materials used - Japanese & Czech seed beads, swarovski margarita 3700 beads.

Oooooh, those colors are so me! I might have to incorporate this color scheme in one of my journal pages. ;)
Thank you ma'am, I'm looking forward to seeing your journal pages!
