Goddess Doll

3 Hours
Workshop Description
Let's make a Goddess Doll that shows your true inner character. She'll represent you or a loved one. You will make this doll in the colors of your choice. The one pictured is my own personal doll representing me as an artist and female. This wonderful 12" tall lady is made from a wooden mannequin. You'll be able to express yourself on this project thru collage, color dyes, assemblage and design. Your own personal doll will be a wonderful accent and conversation piece to any decor.
