Another Gourd Doll

Another Gourd doll!!!!!!  Well  a gourd decoupaged wtih a doll face and clothes from a doll sales add, and limbs are paper clay!!!!!  She won a few blue ribbons round here in Ky!!!!!!  Had put her up and forgot about her till we got started moving!!!!!   hugs carla

Come and see what I did now!!!!!!

Hee hee!!!!!  What do you think of this one!!!!! She was for a swap in the prim group I am in!!!!! All Things Primitive!!!!! You can see the button on the right hand side of my blog!!!!!!  Not that I have done many swaps but this was the most fun I have ever had in one!!!!!!  It was called The Initially Yours Swap and what you had to do was take your partners initials and use to come up with your idea!!!!!! Well her initials were AJ  so I did An Angelic Angelfish with a Jolly Jellyfish and she made me a Crazy Carnival Cat with her pet Bald Bird!!!!!   Too cute!!!!   There were only size rules for mailing purposes but you were pretty much given freedom for all things go!!!!! Oh!!!! 

 You couldn't tell what you were making and they could not tell you what they wanted and there was no peeking till it arrived to your partner!!!!!  It was so much fun!!!!!  Pics of mine from Aimee J will be below!!!!!!!   Too cute!!!!!

Lookie!!!!!! I won a cutie!!!!!!

Gourd and Gourd/Cloth dolls!!!!!

Here is a couple of gourd dolls I made awhile back!!!! The top one is made of all gourds!!!!  The second doll is gourd cloth mix!!!! The bottom part is a warty gourd and when I saw it I knew it had to be a mermaid!!!!!! Gourds make wonderful canvases!!!! For several years I concentrated on gourd dolls!!!!!  Back then I did everything by hand and then slowly I have come back to making cloth dolls, which I did for awhile way back in time.... I am slowly learning to use the sewing machine, as I had never used one......hee hee!!!!!!!  Well my hands were getting tired!!!!! hugs carla
