Harlequin 2 at AWNB


Love, love these harlequin faces created by Chris at CS Designs.  I wanted to do something a little different so I thought I would try an art doll.


The shapes behind her head for the spirelli are also from CS Designs.  I used three different embroidery threads on this one.   I have to tell you this doll was so much fun to figure out and put together!



I die cut scallop ovals and folded them in half for her skirt and glued them to a dowel rod.  Her bodice is a wedge shape.  Her arms are twined blue chenille stems. 


I like trying to figure out who she really is...her outfit is somewhat Elizabethan and her face is somewhat Middle Eastern...maybe she belongs in a sci-fi feature.  What do you think?

Come join us at Art With No Boundaries - the theme is always Anything Goes.  The bonus round challenge this time is Just Clowning Around.  Have a happy, happy week!

  2. A breath taking project. Just beautiful. Since I'm a Sci-Fi/Fatasy fan I would say she needs to be a queen of her own realm.

  6. An acid-trip Velazquez painting? Her silhouette is perfect for that.
