anne_dThese I made for myself.
Joy: She's about 7" tall. This isn't my usual color range; I gravitate towards turquoise and purple, but I fell in love with the little red sunface. That made me think of Southwestern colors, and sunsets and night skies, and she came together from there.
Her healing stones are incorporated into her necklace. She also has a crown of stars and a bead of the Earth, because she's a cosmic goddess, her hair is like mine (if mine were blue instead of brown, hee), and she has star and moon charms on her belt tassels, a spiderweb to catch bad dreams, and a tiger (my animal totem) and a brown bat because bats are good luck, night animals, and besides, I like them. It took me a while to get her velvet sleeves right because she didn't like any of the embellishment I tried, but she didn't want them plain. Shisha mirrors and purple seed beads were what finally worked.
Back detail showing her wings.
Tiger spirit doll: from a kit I bought from Mai-Liis a while back.

thanks for sharing these, Anne.
