OOAK 17 inch art doll with internal wire armature. The eyes embedded in her painted polymer clay head are small ceramic beads and she has needle sculpted and painted poseable cloth hands. Fabrics for her layered robes include upholstery fabrics, quilting cottons, printed silk and reclaimed vintage garment fabrics. She is heavily embellished with glass, wood, metal, bamboo and clay beads both new and repurposed from vintage jewelry. Her hair is a combination of several different yarns decorated with feathers and paper beads. Her charms include an eclectic mix of gemstones, found pieces of jewelry and beads. She was a wedding gift - more details of the inspiration and wip photos on my blog.

I haven't finished the Wicked doll yet. You may be sure I will post a project gallery for it when I'm done. Meanwhile I was spending my time working on a challenge doll of a witch from Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels - Miss Tick. There are pictures on my blog, and I think I will be adapting the clothing patterns from that for the Wicked doll. I tend to work in spurts on different projects and rotate through them. Thanks for your interest and comments.

I'm sure all of your dolls are appreciated by their owners. Do you have a picture of your wicked doll that you made for your daughter's friend? I'd love to see that too. Keep up the great work!
