New gourd doll




Inspired by fall colors I created a new doll using gourd which I painted, then attached the head, add some apoxie clay embellishments. Then couldn't decide on her hairdo. Spent a few days trying different materials and ended up using paper tube wrapped with orange yarn and adding some black feathers.

Gourd was basecoat with black acrylic paint on which I paint useing some acrylic and lumiere paint.
Earings added a nice touch to the doll, I think :) what do you think? let me know.
