Art Dolls Only Elements Challenge - Earth Gypsy Dancer
I actually started to make this doll a few years ago and never finished. She only had a body when I discovered her in my unfinished dolls box, so I added her face, hands and feet and then her embellishments brought her to life. She has a bit of a Water element in her but her name is Earth Gypsy Dancer. It feels good to create dolls again. I believe I AM getting the creative spark again. I have been so busy with my yard and other house things that I haven't had time to devote to my creative art. My creativity has been with my garden which I dearly love as well. When the weather is nice up here in the PNW I just have to go outside!
I am busy now with my fireplace surround. I am creating a freeform mosaic design. I have lots of glass to cut and lots of gluing to do. I guess I'll be back to doll making after that though! Now, for some jewelry...maybe that too!

That creative spark really produced a super doll. Great work!
Beautiful Art Doll!!!
I love all the textures and the colors you used. I just wish the photo was larger, so I could get a really good look ;-)
Your creative spark was only resting for a bit. A beautiful creation indeed.
Lovely work! Glad you feel creative again-not that doing housey things isn't creative!
She's stunning!
Your doll is so green and earthy, just like a trip thru an enchanted forest. Wonderful job!
Such rich colors and textures, I've always enjoyed beaded art but have not found the patience to finish anything beaded myself...speaking of unfinished projects :) Your garden sounds nice, I know what you mean about dividing time creatively, it's tough to do!
Your doll is very beautiful.
Amazing work and creativity.
great doll and i think she really captures the earth element perfectly. i love the colours you used.
I love the doll but wish the photo was a bit larger. I love your colors and textures. Something in this doll touched me. Nice to meet you Barbara. Hugs
