Works in progress

I'm in progress with alot of projects

My current projects include:

Bangle box

my local dollar store is carrying little wooden boxes

i turned on into a bangle box for my daughter

I started out with a simple wooden box and painted it gold

( I'm loving my gold paint right now)

I found an old dresser pull piece that went to an old night stand we refurbished

I painted it gold and rubbed black over it to make the edges stand out

i then attached it to the box and used an old button to fill in the center

next i added a small plastic mirror inside the lid

This is still a WIP but its coming along nicely...

Waldorf doll

I'm trying to make a Waldorf doll from items i had on hand

*children's stockings

*stuffing

*needle and Thread

i started by cutting the end off one leg of the stockings

made a ball with some cotton

and stuffed it into the foot of the stocking

and tied it off

next i sewed through the ball where the ears would be

then back around the front to create the eye line

and tied it off

I then cut another piece of stocking and cut it open to form a square piece

i wrapped this around the head and tied it off

I then added eyes and a mouth

I am currently in progress of adding yarn hair

I'm a bit apprehensive about making a body,

but I'm sure ill figure it out

this is my first doll making experience

Barbie

While cleaning my daughters room

(we pair down her toys and donate a bunch ever 6 months)

I found this poor barbie

her hair was Wild! and her head had fallen off

I decided to try and fix her and

make her a bollywood barbie.

I started by fixing her hair.

i comed it by sections and even used leave in conditioner to smooth it out

the end result is OK. i still need to fix her head onto her neck,

and make her clothes.

I'm working on alot of projects, but really enjoying myself
