My Self Portrait in a Doll
I worked the doll as a self image. How I see myself.
The dress, well, I had the yarn left from working some baby shoes. I used what was here, next to me.
You can't see the shinny crochet thread I used in the smocking and for the shoes.
Just small hints of shimmer.
I like making doll to look like, I see people.
I'm going to try some long pants and a sweater. Just to change her up.
Got another idea for my facebook web page; Crochet & Other Delights.
Stop by and like it.

Credit should always be given to inspiration. Doll crafter, designer,
Beth Ann Webber, is the genius behind some of the works I do.

She gives and seeks nothing in return other than the pleasure of knowing her effort is appreciated.I love her efforts.
God continue to Bless her and her family.
