My inspiration came from well known bead artist Megan Noel. Her work is legendary, in my opinion anyway, in the art doll community.
My first doll was done in a black palette and unfortunately she was sold before I could get, or thought of getting photos of her. There have been a lot of dolls since then, all but one sold. My favourite, I think was The Shaman. A wonderful doll to create. Done mostly in wood, bone with many embellisments. He is seen here. This is the one sale I deeply regret. Over the past couple of years I have collecting the components to make another one but there can only be one Shaman. The next will be different but hopefully just as beautiful and satisfying as the first.
