Garden Girl with Daisies in Spring 2013 Art Doll Quarterly<\/p><\/div>\n

In the “Show and Tell” section of the Winter issue of Art Doll Quarterly you will find the doll that I created with a gourd.\u00a0 The main body section is a gourd that of course has been cut and cleaned, embellished with a little paper clay and painted with acrylic paints.\u00a0 I added legs with wooden dowels and a Styrofoam\u00a0 egg cut in half was used for the shoes.\u00a0 The egg was covered with paper clay and painted with acrylic paints.\u00a0 The head was created with a Styrofoam ball covered with paper clay & hand sculpted and painted with acrylic paints.\u00a0 The arms were made with a wire armature covered with hand painted muslin fabric and white lace and her hands were made with paper clay. The flowers were made with a fiskars punch and painted with acrylic paints.<\/p>\n

Art Doll Quarterly is the premier doll magazine featuring some of the most talented and creative doll artists world wide and it is an honor to be featured among them!<\/p>\n
