IT'S HERE! WORLD DOLL DAY, THE SECOND SATURDAY IN THE MONTH OF JUNE.

I AM A BIT EARLY POSTING ABOUT THE DOLLS I OWN.  BUT OTHERWISE, I WILL BE LATE!
SO HERE GOES...

I WILL BEGIN BY SHOWING A MIXED MEDIA DOLL WHICH I MADE IN THE 'BELLA ART DOLL' WORKSHOP HOSTED BY JOANNA PIEROTTI.  THIS WAS THE SWEETEST DOLL TO MAKE, FROM A MADAME ALEXANDER VINTAGE DOLL HEAD WHICH WAS EMBELLISHED WITH PAINT, GLUED ON HAIR, FLOCKED FLOWERS, AND HAND PAINTED ROSES.  WE KIND OF HAD TO 'WING IT' WITH THE ROSES AND TEACH OURSELVES HOW TO DO A CABBAGE STYLE ROSE WITH SWIRLS OF PAINT IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS TO FORM THE PAINTED PETALS.   I HAVE A SEPARATE POST BELOW IN MEMORY OF JOANNA PIEROTTI WHO PASSED AWAY INTO THE LOVING ARMS OF HER HEAVENLY FATHER IN MARCH 2015, OF THIS YEAR.
