Altoid tin trade w/doll

I participated in an Altoids Tin trade.  The pink painted box is the altered tin.  Inside lives a miniature beaded doll.  

Encaustic - Clothes line

 Encaustic play with fabric.  A mini clothesline for the fun of it all.

Hello Dolly

I had the opportunity to self publish a book of some of my favorite bead embroidered dolls.  The cover features Mini Me, aka Hot Flash Mama.  It is my self portrait.  Most dolls are beaded and include my love of mixed media inclusions.  A labor of love for sure.

Circuit Ole

Polymer face gifted to me by Kristy.  Beaded bead serves as the body while bugle bead serve as arms and legs.    A magatama bead is perfect for this little guy' shoes.  He sits in a glass ring which has been beaded with peyote stich and embellished.  His has is a genuine piece of an a found acorn.  He is the first of 14 beaded clowns for my circus, Circuit Ole.
