As I was sewing a pair of lace up boots for a new art doll sculpture, I was thinking to myself that these little details are part of what makes these pieces so intriguing. Since that doll isn’t quite finished, I figured that I’d share a few examples from some earlier dolls.
“Janice” sits and strums a guitar fashioned from copper, aluminum, a spoon handle, wire and beads.

“Janice” also sports a nifty pair of high top sneakers.

For “Garden Girl #2” I created a small copper garden basket, and a teeny, tiny, trowel.
