Well I finally finished her and I'm really pleased. I haven't finished anything in ages. I was waiting for some nice sunshine to photo her in but I live in England...tsk! At the moment I'm trying to group together my best work to submit to my local guild of crafts. I'm really desperate to join them but I don't know what to submit. I thought Moth might be something I could use.
(See Moth textiles for the textiles I used). Her head's made out of air drying clay. I used afro extensions for her hair. She has a wire frame padded with scraps of wadding and her base is an old clotted cream tub (yes I definitely come from Devon!).
I'm not sure about her wings as she kinda looks like she has chimp arms...but nevermind...
Well done fore finishing her - she looks gorgeous! I love the closed eyes - really serene.
I actually think the arms are great, as they add to the sereneness of her - not being able to do much anyway.
How big is she? The beading works so well in her hair!
Aww thankies! I have a thing about dolls with open eyes...I wouldn't have been able to sleep with her in the same room if they'd been open beady little things...*shudder*...she's about 20" (51 ish cms)

She's got like a wire spine thingy poking out of the top of her body...sort of like a scarecrow if that makes sense and the head has a hole in the bottom so it can just sit on the top of the wire and shoulders...hope I explained that properly...I used a hell of a lot of wire coathangers.

wow, this is gorgeous! i wasnt sure what you intended to do with the "moth textiles" you made a while ago, i just thought they were pretty, but you put it together so well!! the beading is cute and really ties in, and the fabric looks like something you'd buy in a fabric shop for an obscene amount of money! well done!!!
Awww thank u! That's so sweet of you! I was kind of reluctant to cut up the textiles but I'm glad I did. I decided to make a bag with similar textiles so you can see more of it when it's made up. I'm glad the beading looks OK, I have the tendency to go a bit mad with beads sometimes!

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 5 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
I'd like to show you some awesome nature related work from more or less unknown artists which deserve more attention - this is a must see, you won't regret it!!!
I'm a lover of visual impacts. I like brilliant colors and shapes. And I decided to collect a whole stack of deviations that reflect that taste. These pieces showcased below deserve every bit of publicity you can give them. x)P
