Okay, I am starting another adventure! I just finished wrapping and boxing my doll "Mary" so that I can mail her off tomorrow as part of a Doll RR I joined. The doll is mailed along with a journal to keep a record of what is done with her and a wonderful old cigar box I found to put it all in. We work on the dolls, do a 2 page spread on what we did to the doll and why and if there is a box, we can add to that as well. I was trying to figure out what kind of doll to make when I saw a Martha Stewart show featuring Laura Normandin making soft dolls out of linen. I went to the website, downloaded the pattern, then made it smaller to fit in the box she would be traveling in and finally found a little time to sew "Mary". This is her "before" photo and after she come home after visiting 8 wonderful artists, I will post her "after" photo. The other photo is her box and journal. That is my Grandma, Mary, in the collage. After thinking about it, I consider her my "muse"! I can not wait to see what she becomes as well as getting to work on the other dolls that will be coming my way.
