craftgrrl | A beaded Angel/Harpy Dollie (Reply)

This one is a major departure from my usual style of beaded dollies......
Pictures are horrible as I just snapped a few quick shots righ after I finished her up .....

I used cotton quilting fabric to make her body out of, handstitched each piece, and even gave her a full wire skeleton. However, with all the bending I had to do to be able to bead her legs, the hip joints snapped just as I had finished beading the second leg. *grumbles* so I had to sew her legs into position instead of having them posable..... IF I do another one, I'll change up the skeleton design a bit.....

Her lower legs, torso, neck and head are all beaded. Her thighs are wrapped in eyelash yarn (needed something moveable when I thought I was going to be able to pose her). Her hair is black chenile yarn. And her wings are one layer of irridescent black chicken feather trim and one layer of white and brown speckled feather trim. Her face is black polymer clay that I added mica powders to before I baked it.
