I began with this drawing by my daughter...
After 3 days of intense activity and a little more work at home, I ended up with this beautiful mixed-media sculpture. (As always, if you wish to see mor detail, click on the photo to enlarge to full size.)
Her base is wire lace built on a frame fashioned from a tomato cage, believe it or not. Her torso is a combination of soft sculpture and paperclay.
Her face is drawn and shaded with watercolor pencils, and sealed with a coat of beeswax. Now that was fun!
The rest of her consists of whatever struck my fancy at the moment. Chains, feathers, tulle, glitter, micromarbles, metal filagree... it's all on there.

Hi Judi,

Lucky you that you got to go to the retreat and take a class with Jean and Sherry! Pat yourself on the back the doll is GREAT not that I didn't expect that from you! :)
When you get a chance please visit my blog, I just uploaded a few things and please leave a comment. :) Later I will upload some more things.
Keep well and hugs
she's wonderful Judi.
What did you use for the bodice and arms?? paint... or foil or something? ...
and beeswax on her face after doing the colouring.... how very interesting....
the girls are doing on collages from what I have heard...but haven't heard of putting it on dolls yet.... what an interesting class it must have been.
I guess I won't be doing much for seven weeks... unless I do something with one hand..... I'm having surgery on my left wrist on Monday......
oh.... AND.... meant to say.... wow...what a drawing by your daughter! looks just like the fashion designer drawings that I've always admired.
