Willow Doll


This is Willow.
She's a little over 12" tall.
She started life as some wire and aluminum foil. then I built up parts by wrapping them in tulle strips. I like using tulle to form a base as it has a nice "grip" to the other layers I put on it. Then I patchworked some velvet and lace scraps over her torso and thighs, and lined the edges with brown seed beads. Her arms are uplostry cording that I wound some wire into and her hands are wire wrapped in floral tape.
Her legs are root-like wires wrapped in floral tape. She wears a train of random netted beads with leaf beads strung throughout.
She has a ruffle of greens and black seed beads around her arms. Her hair is various eyelash yarns. Her face is polymer clay dusted with pearlx powders from theSculpty Artdoll mold.
A fun doll...and she can balance on her own....but not very stable.....might have to revisit her..... But click on her to see a larger picture...it is very worth it.
