Earth Bound



For our March meeting of our doll club Reining Dolls and Bears, we are to create a doll that represents our muse. I have a variety of interests and several muses so this was not to be an easy tassk forme. but as I wqs cleaning up from recent storm activity on our 5 acres, I started collecting some natural items such as wood, bark, acorns, pine cones and moss. So Earthbound started to evolve and depicts my love of the natural world. she has a cloth over clay mask, fabric body and paverpol accents. she is quite different from anything I have done.

I don't usually go for kind of abstract but I really like this doll and her name fits her to a tee. She would also be fabulous as the representation of the earth element.

Patti, I really like Earth Bound. I love the mixing of media and materials. Watch out this can be addicting. I love using found objects.

Patti,

I really love the spirituality of this piece.The face is extremely serene. The fact that her beingness came from the fruits of a storm makes her serenity even more poignant. Excellent work.
