Round Robin Doll is Done

I just got done with the round robin doll . Just in time to put her in the mail tomorrow.Her name is Pane Jane and she is a alien visiting earth.She stayed with me for a mouth and collected animals.We built her some cages to put them in for her travels.

The other thing she wanted to remember was our alphabet.so I sewed them to her belly so she would always have them with her.

I work a cave, so the first thing she wanted was a bat.I needle felted each of this little cuties , and are about 1 1/2 in. tall.

This is a frog from the lake I live on.I know! the frog is a little funny looking.

The ladybug was the color red.Where she comes from there is no red.But, I would be a hit with my red hair.I am glad she found the bug or I might be in one of the cages too.

The snake was my favorite.I used seed beads for his rattle and leather for his tongue

First Doll in Round Robin

This is Plain Jane.She was started by Jeanne from Eugene, Oregon.

Plain Jane is an alien visiting earth for a vacation. She's very excited to meet all kinds of earthlings and see what they do. She's blue, compliments of Jeanne's hubby who said she should be that color. :) Right now she's really into her BEEEEEEutiful eyelashes. Her lashes have little blue gems on them.Cute!

Plain Jane landed at at Hogscald Hollow Friday and had to go right out on the porch and look at the lake.As you will see in the coming days, I will be showing her around.

I have to decide what I would like to do to her.Jeanne thinks Jane would like bat wings.I keep thinking that if I was new to this world I would start looking for bigger bags so I could take things home with me.

Round Robin Dolls

I would like you to meet Lakeloon the Shylock.He was born in a studio of ESSA(Eureka Springs School of the Arts) as I taught a class on needle felting.As he came to life I new he wanted to do more with his self.When I brought Lakeloon home to the lake,I could feel the relief in him.He was home.For a year now he has run the woods around Beaver Lake.Collecting driftwood and bones,exploring caves and playing tricks on people(and the birds) are some of his favorite things to do.Picking on the hummingbirds is one thing I can't seem to brake him of.He likes to climb on the feeders and try to catch them. He also loves catching bugs and putting them in my bed.He has asked for a collecting bag to pull all his treasures in. And he wants a walking stick to beat the grass looking for frogs to ride(or maybe a snake.)

Now Lakeloon is off to Donnely in Oh.for a round robin doll swap.Every 7 weeks our dolls will move to the next Doll artist to have some work done.We each get to add something to the doll that comes to us.In all I will work on 8 dolls.
