Beaded Art Dolls
All dolls are one-of-a-kind. They are sewn and stuffed with fiberfill. Many hours of bead embroidery complete the figure. I use both Czech and Japanese glass beads and I have a fondness for vintage elements (nailheads, glass, sequins) and items from nature (shells, bone, pearls). Most faces are carved bone, polymer clay, stone or glass. All dolls come with names and stories. I do take commissions and would love to make a doll for a special person in your life. Dolls take two to three months to make generally. Please add $5 for shipping and insurance on all orders.
