Green Man (my first doll ever!)

[dolphin-daze.livejournal.com]

Been working on something new and thought it was well enough along to post some pictures, this is my first ever art doll and I think he turned out pretty cool. He is 11 inches tall and made out of stuffed muslin that I painted in a summer tree design. His face is made out of clay and also handpainted, he has a green heart on his chest and hair that is a mossy green with brown and purple streaked in it and he has a crown with leaves in it for his head. Tied around his hair is a birds nest with eggs that I made out of clay. I am also making a wood staff for him to cary.

I was really nervous as to how he would turn out but it turned out better than I anticipated. I included a couple of pictures and I had Lee upload more to the website linked below so that if your curious to see more pics you can, the website has pics of his back, the birds nest and a few more of the front of him :).
