I'm posting two gorgeous dolls I made a while ago, Pink Prachodayat and Cenye. Prachodayat, which means "enlighten"in Sanskrit, is the very last phrase chanted in many Vedic Mantras. She was the first girl I made with a broader global flare.
Except for the ceramic jar (which I embellished with a tassel handmade from thread) and Barbie's actual body, everything is 1000% handmade. I even designed and cut the suatika pattern into a stamp, sized just right for the doll. Pink Prachodayat has plenty of jewelry and embellishments. She was an organic creation which I'm proud of.
FOR SALE!
My second doll was Cenye, a Malian name for beauty. I rerooted her hair in plain wool, undyed for stark contrast and a bold shock. Again, lush with little embellishments. Cowrie corset (which I want to make for myself), cowrie earrings, etc...
FOR SALE!
I also made the tiny stamps which I needed to print the bogolanfini (or mudcloth) pattern. I need to make more heavily embellished dolls!
