flower child
this doll was very hard to photograph- so much dark.
This back view photograph is my favorite- the colors look right to me-
And I liked this top view and how she looked with her skirt all spread out.
Her body is made out of a beautiful woven wool fabric from a thrifted mans’ shirt. And flowers and more flowers!
Her dreadlocks are made by running ropes of wool roving through the washing machine.

She is stunning. The loose threads emerging from the blooms really underscore the earthy beauty here.

Mimi, I love the colors and the dreadlocks are amazing! I can just imagine these ropes of roving sloshing about in your washing machine. Brilliance. I love the little kinks, just like real twists. That purple skirt!

Takes me right back to the 60′s and early 70′s when I was borderline hippy, cherished full-circle skirts and had many flower child friends. I wonder what’s happened to them? Thanks for the multiple views… really gives us a chance to absorb her personality! Robin A.

Que bonita! Que linda. She reminds me of Frida — all she needs is a necklace tight around her throat.

[...] make a group of autumn-color forest-impish girl dolls. The first one to take her own road was the flower girl. I made another girl with dreadlocks and made this dress for her. It looked completely wrong. So, I [...]

As broke as I am I know I can’t afford her at the moment but she ranks in the “most wonderful doll I’ve ever seen” category!
