Each doll takes around 8-10 hours to make. Heavy beading adds extra time. They're made over a number of days depending on the paint,
varnishing and other finishes. Every doll includes a vintage piece, or pieces. Some dolls have rattles inside; others have crystals
or scent. It depends on the type of doll and any preferences of the new owner .
Inspired by the Goddesses of myth and legend. Interpreted by me.....
'Nemesis'. Art Doll. 7 inches.
Back of 'Nemesis', showing beading. Vintage beads, glass beads, vintage glass rose, faux pearls, buttons, silk, and felted wool.
These dolls have bodies made of silk, hand-sewn, then painted. They're embellished with silken wraps and strands, glass and seed beeds, faux pearls and little rounds of felted wool. One has silken strands suspended from her hands, with two lengths of beads.
This is Nemesis. She is the Goddess of vengeance. In Greek, her name means "to give what is due",
so it's a justice thing, not a revenge thing. I almost gave her some weapons but decided there's enough weapons in the world
already, and I seriously doubt if Nemesis would need them anyway.
