Earth spirit dolls

I just finished two "Earth" spirit dolls to take up to the gallery, but if anyone wants to buy them directly from me they're $35 (including shipping). Just email me: sherriequilt@yahoo.com. They're about 14 inches tall with a hanging loop on back.

 

Here are the pieces. I used fabric that I painted and stamped awhile ago (maybe years ago!) and sticks, yarn and feathers, a big button and beady eyes.

I don't remember what the long shards of stone on the necklace are because I bought them so long ago.  Does anyone know what they might be?

Both dolls are painted in an earthy evergreen with touches of gold. These are darker colors than I normally use, but I like how warm they look, almost like a deep forest in summer or early fall when some leaves are just turning orange and sunlight glints through the tree canopy.

This came across my Instagram a few days ago, and it's exactly what I did! I bought a house in Tucson, found my people (it took awhile because it was during Covid) and watch the sunsets! I caught the one below from my front patio -- with the crescent moon high above. I'll never get tired of those Arizona sunsets.

Have a colorful day
