Swap Dolls--Peace

The 3D yahoo group I'm in recently has had lots of swaps. The latest two has been for the 50th anniversary of the Peace symbol and then a holiday ornament swap. Here are the 2 dolls I sent out.

This tiny doll went to Brenda. She is only about 2 inches tall and is made from polymer clay. She has yarn for her hair and is holding a peace symbol made from a Bingo game piece with a peace symbol decoupaged onto it. She has leather sandals on her poly clay feet. Her headband is yarn and she is painted bright tie dyed colors. Brenda could sit her somewhere or use her as an ornament.
For the holiday ornament swap I got Dots name. We could either make an icicle doll or a star shaped doll. I chose to make an icicle doll. I used my fabric paper and put the words "hope" and "peace" on it, under a collaged face and peace sign. I also added yarn for hair and buttons with tulle at the bottom along with yarn and a painted paper bead hanging down from the bottom tip. I love these icicle dolls. This one is about 5-6 inches long and I think I will be making more for my tree this year.

Both dolls are adorable. I never really got to be a hippy. I had to work. I remember my friends going into Philidelphia to hang out at some park with their beads, guitars and what ever else. Me? I had to go to work, at the local library and make the money I needed for college. Shame to because I had nice long hair and looked good in long dresses. :)Bea

TWO inches tall??? Yikes - how did you get so much detail into something that small?! They're both so cute.
