Beaded Art Doll

Here is a project I have been working on for AGES!!!!

I belong to the Yahoo Group "Beaded Art Dolls" and we had a challenge to do a doll using buttons along with the beads.....Great.....I was NOT thinking straight when I chose to work on a 14 inch Bendi Doll(One that has wire inside for posing) I never did get it finished on time so I set it aside. I was having a problem with my eyes and blurry vision so could not bead much..Anyway after having cataract surgery I am now once again enjoying the beading.

I have a ways to go on her but am enjoying the process.

The face I used is one I made with clay, I painted it and then crackled the finish to make it have an aged look.

PS Sorry some pictures are blurry.... I tried a few times to get a clear ones but no luck..
