Starfish man... work in progress

I needed to bead a doll between my Beaded Journal Project pages... what can I say, I'm a woman obsessed!

This doll is for a special someone, it will be completed in cobalt blue with some gold - well that's the plan anyway.

Is that an awesome face or what??? Face is by Jen Martin at GraphixOutpost, 3 1/2 inch form is by Monica Magness. I'm not sure what I'd do without these two artists!

Oh Grace, I so love stars and this one is delightful. I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Thanks for the comments.

Penny I AM a woman obsessed, I have thought about trying torch worked beads, but alas - there are not enough hours in the day and then the issue of the funds, and space, oh geez - maybe when I retire from my full time job, yeah that'll work. I'll shelve the idea until then.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Leaves of Grass

This is what you shall do: Love the earth and sun and the animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men, go freely with powerful uneducated persons and with the young and with the mothers of families, read these leaves in the open air every season of every year of your life, re-examine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency not only in its words but in the silent lines of its lips and face and between the lashes of your eyes and in every motion and joint of your body - Walt Whitman
