Polly and her pupcycle left home recently... I made dolls for years and years. Most often a doll came about because of a theme or concept, but occasionally a doll was inspired by a "prop" and Polly was such a doll. I saw this metal tricycle planter at a thrift store and I could just envision the basket fill with pups......thus
I have a dear friend who loves dogs as much as I do and she lost a beloved dog early this year and when her birthday came about recently I couldn't think of a better home for Polly and her pups...
I hadn't made a doll for about 8/10 years now. Not that I didn't enjoy it or ran out of ideas but you can only have and store so many dolls so one day I just quit.
But I think I have to make one final doll... and I had her started years ago...
I sculpted this head from clay years ago and she has been on this dowel waiting ever since. Most images you see of garden goddesses and garden angels are lovely and ethereal but my garden is tough and survives severe winters, summer droughts, and is besieged by deer, gophers and rabbits so my garden goddess definitely had to be of stern resolve. I have a large bag of fabulous fabrics and materials ready to go.. So one day.......

Just adorable!
Well, I had no idea you created dolls! Love Polly and her pups and suspect she was well received :). I'll look forward to your progress with the garden goddess - must admit, she looks pretty darn good already....
My goodness, is there anything you can't do? I'm sure Polly has a good home with your friend and I can't wait to see your garden fairy done. No one is going to get her down.
what a wonderful creation you have made here, this will be so loved and treasured. Garden goddess I know will also be wonderful
Dolls? Wow, I didn't know that! You surprise me often with the variety of your creations. Love the pupcycle! Looking forward to more about your garden goddess. Will she live outside in your garden?
