8 girls dolls































A couple weeks ago the 8 girls finally got together - it has been a long time between our times together . Every one's busy with life these days. We finally did the final exchange for our round robin dolls. This time, everyone made whatever doll they wanted out of muslin. Your own pattern or a printed pattern. We each had to pick a theme for the doll. We passed the dolls and did whichever body part we wanted when we got the doll. We did our own head (if we wanted to). One was going to be hanging in an art room on a trapeze, one was about birds (mine), one was whimsical, and one was to create a character that would be in the Nightmare Before Christmas. Well - that one is a story in itself - literally. For that one, we each had to write a chapter about this character and decorate a body part. It was truly an amazing process. I was terrified, because I had to follow 2 incredible chapters. But - like I say - the planets lined up and the story and the arms turned out awesome. I think they ALL turned out AMAZING! Here are front and back for all of them and a few of mine. I did the face on mine and made a mask from scrapbook paper and wire - turned out really cool. Hope you enjoy them. What a great group of talented women we all are.... if I say so myself,,hahaha...

Oh, I do love your birds... everything is so cheerful. I really want to see the trapeze doll in her "habitat"!
