A 2001 Artfest Doll

Product links support this website.  Details.

Many years ago, I taught at Artfest.  It was a golden era, and for many years, I had a wonderful time.

At one Artfest, organizer Teesha Moore gave us simple cloth dolls.  I think her grandmother had assembled them.

When I received mine, I promptly embellished her.  Here’s the result.

Artfest doll - 2001 or so

(I apologize for the size of the image. It’s from around 2001, I think.  When I find her again in my storage boxes, I’ll add a larger photo.)

My embellishments:

  • I added rubber stamped images.
  • Then, I sewed beads onto her.
  • I gave her wool hair intended for dolls’ wigs, plus antennae with beads.
  • Finally, I added wired, rubber-stamped, paper “faerie wings.”

I hope those give you ideas for ways to embellish your cloth dolls and figures.

To me, she looks like a wild faerie woman, ready for adventures!
