OWOH 2011 - One World One Heart Giveway

Photobucket


Hi everyone! My name is Brenda, and I live in Northwest Indiana, outside Chicagoland. I'm an artist of varied medium. I've dabbled in polymer, porcelain, quilting and cloth dolls. I have a tendency to follow my curiousity. I am looking forward to attending my 2nd artistic doll conference,the AFIC, in Ohio at the end of April. I have signed up for 2 classes devoted to the face. (my largest nemisis) I am also the spokesperson for the Comfort Doll Project, a group of online artists who send in comfort dolls which are then placed in abused women's shelters
The doll I am giving away is from my study of form. Her foundation is polyfilled satin, needle scuplted face, and cotton hair. Her dress is made of individual silk flower petals, accented with her seed beaded bodice. She was a joy to make. What a wonderful way OWOH is to find her a new home.
Please leave a comment for me in order to be entered into this giveaway. February 17th I will be randomly pulling a name from a hat to decide the winner.
Thanks, for visiting my blog.
Smiles to All,
Brenda

    Hello Brenda
    the Comfort Doll Project is a great idea. My own nemesis are hands, can not get them natural looking and wrinkle free despite taking classes.
    I like the potes and totes too.
    Please enter us into the draw and if you have time come over to ours too.

Hope you have oodles of fun during OWOH. I've enjoyed it so much over the years seeing all of the wonderful blogs and meeting everyone. Thanks for your participation in the event.

    Hi Brenda! I'll be at AFIC too. I'm going to take Susie's class to learn to sculpt & paint. I really don't like to paint...so I'm just crazy. I belong to Guilded Lilies here in Columbus & I live very very close to the hotel. You'll have to come & visit me, my beaded creations & my Scotties when you come.
