I’ve put together a Links posting so you can catch the group of postings on mixed media woven dolls.
Hmm, it just struck me that they are like three dimensional collages. Neat!

In my last posting, I showed pictures of my woven mixed media dolls, Neni and Homage to Dame Julian of Norwich.
These dolls are more whimsical:
I spun the yarn and then wove them on potholder looms and combined them will all kinds of mixed media: Leather, wood, stones, metal, wire, buttons and more….

Next posting:
More whimsical mixed media woven dolls.
Some of my readers are on dial up so they’ve asked me to not put toooooooooo many pix in each entry.

Yesterday, I posted pics of my latest mixed media woven doll, the Earth Listener Angel Doll (click on the name to see her).
Several people asked if I had pics of any of my other woven mixed media dolls. Why yes! Here are some:

Homage to Dame Julian of Norwich. I wove her on my inkle loom and several small vintage looms. Her hands and face are crocheted. I used cotton and linen to make her. Her body is wood that I carved before stitching on the weaving and attaching her armature.

Taking it apart is quite contemplative, as it allows me to give myself a second (or …read more

When I was designing and making this Worry Doll:

I started out by basing my measurements on another little doll that I made a few years ago:

and I ended up transforming her, too.
So, she ended up like this:

I figured that she’s such a little cutie that I should probably upload a tutorial on how to make her too.
And, I have:

It took a few days, as I had sick family, so I spent the day tending to them, and making chicken soup and such.

Worry Dolls have been on my mind lately. I blame Marcie
She teased us by saying that she’s got a posting coming up in a day or so, about Worry Dolls.
I did a few sketches of some potential Worry Dolls a day or so ago, but they were rrrrrrrrrrealllllllllly rough…. as in the dolls looked like they were more ferocious than potentially helpful in the case of severe worrying.
And, so, today, I spent the afternoon designing and making some new Worry Dolls.
It’s really late now, as I write this, so I’ll just give you a sneak preview…….

She’s spool knitted, …read more
