Our lovely lovely doll is finished, thanks to the extraordinary efforts of Jan Brown, who assembled all the various parts made by participating artists in the Ties That Bind project. For those who aren’t familiar with it, the project is a group of artists (including me), united in the effort to benefit Ovarian Cancer Research. Since my own wonderful mother is an OC survivor, there was no way that I could turn down this opportunity!
The skirt of the doll was made from embellished ties, men’s ties that is, and the bodice is dripping with charms and beads of all sorts.
The next step will be for the doll to be auctioned off or sold. I’m not sure exactly what the deal will be here, but I’ll let you know as soon as we hear. In the meantime, all of the photos of the finished doll are available for viewing in an album located here: TTB Album
Beautiful doll and fabulous cause – way to go!
Thank you Beverly…I am astounded by the finished doll. I had no idea what it was going to look like when the project began
