The previous entry had pics of my spritely mixed media dolls
Here are some more of my mixed media woven dolls:
A woven Menopause Fairy Doll
and a collection of my ‘Reclaiming Dolls’ (Dolls that have parts made from reclaimed, recycled or re-purposed components and found objects, as well as weaving):
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!

Woven mixed media dolls – 2
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.

I warped up the loom
and wove one panel that just didn’t do it for me,
So, I frogged it, and re-warped the loom.
I am one of those people who would rather take something apart and re-do it rather than leave it if I don’t like it.
Taking it apart is quite contemplative, as it allows me to give myself a second (or …read more

I am so pleased! My new Journey Loom has arrived!

The first thing that struck me when I put it together was that it looked so much like the wall dollhouses that my dh, Jim, makes me!
The second thing that just blew me out of the water, was reading the chapter in Susan’s book, Zati, The Art of …read more
