Anna Bella was a wonderful project to work on. I used a lovely print fabric for her body given to me by my dear friend Lili. The gorgeous fabric was given to me for a gift at my Birthday Party by my Dear Friend Theresa. It has golden toned embroidered flowers and sequins. Her hair comes from some colored fancy eyelash yarn I use in doll making and knitting. I gave her to Lili. The bodice of the outfit was designed by A Stitch In Time on Etsy and the skirt designed by me. My name is Anthea I am the Guardian of Merlin, his dear and beloved friend. I am a seeker of both the Under and Upper Worlds. For without the dark there can be no light. I am an observer. I watch all things in all times on all paths. Merlin taught me the ways of all Magic and in kind I protect him. We are attached for eternity an eternity without beginning or end. Illuminating face made by Chris of MyIrishGypsy on Etsy. Doll Created by Brigit Snyder. Goddess and Spirit dolls have been one of the most rewarding adventures of my life. I can be at my worst and make magic with my heart, hands and mind. Well Spring took me a lot of time because of the fringe on the arms. I used light wire and heavy kelvar thread to stitch the beads. I usually like to go through fringe a few times to make certain it doesn't fall apart. The face is so precious and was made by my dear friend Chris of MyIrishGypsy on Etsy. She looks content and happy for Spring at last. I began in the universe since its inception. I watch over all universes within creation with deep empathy and the most profound unconditional love. I can neither be created nor destroyed as I am infinite a creature of all beginnings and ends. This dolls garment is pure silk with a key hanging from her waist. The incredible Face is Made by Grieselda Tello one of the most amazing and incredible doll artist in the world today. This is one of the first necklaces I ever made about 17 years ago when I began beading. I used two needles and threads to make the inside part of the necklace and beaded with a single needle and thread the embellishments on the out side. The focal bead is a lovely light pink glass heart and most of the necklace is made from fresh water pearls. As with many of my designs for my jewelry and my dolls which come from my hands and works through my spirit. My main purpose in my work is not only to create interesting and thought provoking pieces but my work has to do with healing and a love that comes so deep within every cell of my being I want to share with others the magic that is within us all. Beading was a life saver to me and still is. The development, growth, design and patience are tools we all hone in any work we do; at any task. Each piece I have ever done has profound meaning to me. Where I lived, the smells outside through the open window above my little make shift studio in my kitchen. Conversations my beloved husband and I had while he was doing his work on the computer. The smell of supper cooking and children playing outside. So much came with the work and will never leave. Watchful Eagle came with another one of my Eagles. The pattern was created by A. Running Wolf a loving, kind and exceptional artist. I love the embellishments of turquoise and the amber Zuni bear hanging from the fringe. The strap took a good deal of time and was worth the effort. My friend Felinda Bullock designed the pattern for this bag. I believe her design makes the bag. I did the bag several times over until I got the pattern correct. I am not great at beaded pattern work, I had to really focus and pay attention to have the bag come out alright. I had re- do the strap because it broke. I used very strong bead chord and it feels wonderful. The strap has lots of coral pieces and gold glass beads which makes for a festive piece. I made this pillow around Christmas of this year. I enjoyed doing the beading in the front. Lots of wood and glass bead with a cloisonne as a focal point. I got part of the decoration idea from another heart pillow I had seen. I also like the texture of the jute and yarn bow. The distressing of the fabric looks much better than the picture depicts it. I would have liked to have used a more rusty red. All in all I had great fun doing it. |
