All the beads are glass - Japanese or Czech with a few pewter charms. The face is polymer clay.
About 2 years ago I made a fall themed doll, this is one of the few that I didn't totally encrust, she also has a button face. Another form by Monica Magness and it's made of silk - I wanted to leave some of the beautiful fabric showing. I gave this doll to a friend that has a birthday in fall.
I love a full head of 'hair' on the dolls I bead. More often than not - I will bead a spiral on the back of heads - it provides a great base for me if I decide to add hair.
Although I don't remember if I beaded this doll in winter - she kinda looks like winter to me. This is one of the first dolls I beaded, looks to me like I was still learning about beading around the face at that point. I call her Bluebelle. The form and face are by Monica Magness.
Now, if I had to pick one to represent summer... I'd probably pick one that looks like it represents heat... and I have just the doll. This one was completed last year for a friend in Oregon. It's a tiny form - maybe 3 1/2 inches. The form is by Monica Magness and the face by Ronda Kivett (one of her 'tiny' faces).

I love the tiny face on the bottom doll; you are simply outdoing yourself again and again.
You know as I look at your dolls, it reminds me I started one years ago, put her in a box and forgot her. Goofy me. So I guess I did do some beaded embroidery, I just never thought of it as that. Ok off to find her and see what all she still needs doing. I will snap a shot of her and post on my blog.
