Collage Embroidery

There are a lot of beaders who make dolls. I thought you might enjoy taking a
look at a couple of sites.

"Dolls"...UPDATE #3 - Collage Embroidery

From: lula


How silly of me not to clarify my statement about making a "mummy" shape
doll........you make an excellent point Mirjam!

A "mummy" doll version could have been any shape of a Mother.....plump,
thin or any shape inbetween!

At the time I was writing about the "mummy" idea for a doll shape, I was
thinking of the Egyptian version......the doll was an ancient version I
saw as a young child in NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art.

This small ancient Egyptian wooden paddle shaped doll with a painted
face and human hair wig made an awesome impression on me.
Even at that early age of six or seven years, I loved "artistic" or
handmade folk versions of dolls rather than typical mass market
Childhood toy dolls.

Dolls or human form can be made in any shape.......from Egyptian mummy
shape to any type of form a creative mind can come up with!
It was from that moment on, seeing that little ancient doll that I was
inspired to dream about making my own dolls or figures of such someday!

Using embroidery, applique, beading and so on to make my Queen "doll"
collage is a culmination of many years of observational osmosis and
daydreams!

Oh, my goodness! Not fond of the dog faces, but the rest are truly
inspirational. Well, actually, they just tie my hands in fits and my
heart says, "I can't do that!" They are intriguing. Thanks for the link.

THE QUEEN wasn't very happy having her "molecules" scattered all over

In fact, HRH is busy tapping out her head to empty some strings of text
characters coming out of her ears.........

I hope all will be pleased for the glimpse of HRH........she was quite
touched by the many requests to see her royal personage despite being
somewhat in dishabille........

However.......as HRH has been forwarned that Madame La Zora has already
crossed the border and on her way across the drafting table.......HRH
had best hustle her bustle over to the looking glass and royal
treasury.........hmmmph.....won't do to have that upstart "GYPSY QUEEN"
out - dress or out -jewel HRH.......

OOOOOPS!!! HOLY COW!!!.......HRH is now on her way north to your cozy
home via e-mail.........she left this note for you......

THE QUEEN plans to have a cuppa of tea or java
Bringing a special dish of buttery baklava
HRH plans to be there first thing in the morning
Just make sure all are awake and not snoring!!

Emerald........welll, since you asked......

HRH is now cheerfully on her way
Riding the airwaves at this very moment
THE QUEEN will arrive with a lot to say
As HRH always has much to comment

Make sure to have fresh flowers
to decorate HRH dining room table
Light up the candles in the grand tower
And brush off THE QUEEN's deluxe sable

Thanks so much for sharing and posting these art doll sites!
I truly enjoyed seeing these artistic, unique dolls!

The figures are lovely with such fine details and most of all how unique
each one of these figures are!
I'd love to be able to make a doll figure like these eventually!

Rhonda's energy is contagous and inspring. I used one of her free
patterns to create a cool beaded doll (which she published in her second
issue to my extreme delight). Marjorie
