New Dolls Mina and Raven


















Here are some photos of the dolls I made for my recent shows. They are 2 more of my bird cage skirt girls. Here is Mina wearing peacock colours and Raven in dark feathers. They both are wearing vintage lace, victorian beading and found materials. Raven wears a turquoise medal of Lourdes and Mina wears a gorgeous peacock feather that a dear friend gave me. I wasn't able to take such great photos of them before the show unfortunately. These are spooky girls for Fall, but it is already time to start thinking of pretty Snow Queens! Welcome the new girls!

Raven is gorgeous! The perfect muse for Edgar Allan Poe! Beautiful woek, Merle! t's fantastic! Looking forward to the Snow Queens. You may wish to seek inspiration on Narnia's Evil Queen! She was stunning! :)
