Holda White Lady of Winter

Here are two more of the Holda dolls. I am working on a couple more. It just feels good to be making them right now. I took my Yule tree down early, but then put up a winter altar that I'll probably leave until spring. I also put out several snowmen this year. Mandy loved and collected them so when she died I gave most of them away. This is the first year that I can really have them out without having it hurt as much.

Lady Winter

I just finished this Lady tonight. I'll be making a few more over the next couple weeks. I really had fun with her and went back to fiber hair because I wanted a huge puffy look for her. This was the only winter fabric I had when I made the forms, but I just might try to find something else and work on some after the holidays.

Memory Pillows

I've been wanting to do these pillows for a long time and finally just got into the right emotional space to do them. I have three of them pictured here, but there are actually a couple of others in similar designs. The green one is the first one I made and have placed the photos of both of my children who have died in the locket. The locket fits in a pocket on the back. This one is for my son. The others have photos determined by the person receiving them.

Autumn Lady

I did this Lady for a doll swap in one of my doll making groups so she has already been sent on to her new home. I loved working on her. I used a new pattern for the form and just added things as I went. She is not completely covered in beads but I'm liking the beaded loops for hair so here I used it again.
