Okay so it's almost June...Last year in one of my Yahoo groups I was challenged to make a beaded doll for Christmas. I had yet to make a doll using primarily white beads, but it was something I wanted to try. Princess Holly was the result. The 5" form is by Moncia Magness, the face is from a friend in Australia. One day I would like to attempt a doll in all white, I was surprised that I didn't find it too challenging using white - it is never one of the first colors I think of when I want to bead.
Year before last, I acquired a wonderful snowman kit from Ronda Kivett. This guy was a blast to bead, I mean - look at that face -
he makes me smile everytime I pick him up. The eyes, nose and mouth are polymer clay, his arms are coral, there are a few random fresh water pearls, sequins and his fiber scarf. Everything else is glass.
That same year I acquired a santa ornament kit from Monica, she put together the kit with a face from Jen Martin (graphixoutpost). It was fun to work on beading around just a face - this was before I knew peyote stitch or how to apply it around a face
.
This past Christmas I ordered small forms from Monica with the intention of making them into ornaments. I posted the angel in a prior post - around the same time I beaded up this little Christmas Tree. It's about 3" tall and once it was done, I couldn't give this one away. The tiny face it by Kristi Lou at Sculpted Windows.
