New Doll

In the spring there was a doll & teddy bear convention in Philadelphia. http://www.quinlanmuseum.com/ It was a great event with many talented artists and craftspeople. I had not made dolls for a while, but this show was inspiring. I went home and started working on this doll that afternoon! No pattern, just free formed the design. Later, I went to a thrift store, hoping to find a stool or chair to fit my doll. Viola- I found this bent wood bench for two dollars or so. Now I"m back to art quilting, but making this doll was a fun project. She has a dragon fly in her hands and she plans on spending the day in the Garden.
