Artist's Comments

Second one is finally done, after many many months of it being set aside. Another stress-doll (sans pins), made for .

Materials used: fabric (I -think- it's muslin), polyester fiberfill, thread, embroidery floss, glass beats, seed beads, metal charms. All stitching was done by hand, pattern of my own design. The vines on the body are a combination of embroidery floss and thread.

This doll has a LOT of hair. It took about 3 days to stitch it all in place (each piece is knotted seperatly). This bad boy has as few as 6 skeins ( I think that's the right word) and as many as 9 skeins on his head. That's a lot of floss. I was originally going to use a little less glass leaves, but then I figured, if you're gonna have some leaves, have some leaves. The bead in the middle of its necklace has a reflective green/yellow/blue sheen on it.

That one has always stuck me as kind of creepier, though I suppose as the first one, it's just flawed.
