Angel Betty

 

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone is doing well!    As many of you know, my husband and I have been working on a 1900's house and finally got moved the last of October.   We still have minor things to finish up.  Taking our time and trying to make it comfortable and feel like home.     It's such a relief to have my own creative space again and not in a tiny corner of an apartment bedroom!  We are loving it here. Angel Betty is my first doll in this new space.   I would like to introduce you to her.

Here is to new beginnings.  May you be happily blessed by good things to come.
Love to you all and thank you for following my work.

Ambi & Enig (2-sided doll)

 ~Ambi & Enig~  Handmade Doll (2-sided)


Ambi & Enig is one doll with two sides (front and back).   She measures about 20 inches tall from the tips of her toes to the tips of her crown.  She is made to hang as a pendant/ornament.

I made her from heavy canvas and other various cotton fabrics.   Her face is painted with acrylics and detailed with thread.  I stained her with a mixture of walnut ink, coffee and tea.  I glittered her crown and added a touch of tinsel.   Her handmade pompom decorates the front of both sides of her dress, along with ribbons and a tag.  One tag reads "double double" and the other reads "toil and trouble".    I stitched little bells on her shoes.

Ambi:  Ambiguity: the quality of being open to more than one interpretation; inexactness.

Enig:  Enigma: 1: something hard to understand or explain. 2: an inscrutable or mysterious person. 3: an obscure speech or writing.

Ambi & Enig is also available as a pattern.
