Doll Journey: It Isn't over Yet!

Some might call this the end of the journey, when the project is complete, but it isn't over yet!
It is really only just beginning.
 A new doll has been born!
A new season! A new Birth to celebrate!
A name has been chosen!
It is my privilege to introduce to you:

"Firefly"

Her name is quite simple and may not totally relate to the multiple meanings, but it suits.
I think of the little light these little bugs give off in an increasingly darkening sky.
They joy they gave me as a child and the wonder of how they lit up.
It totally suits!


I want to send out a special thanks again to the 14 ladies that gave her wings.
Joetta Adams,
Judi Burkhalter,
Jeanne Evans,
Aryd’ell Hotelling,
Gail Isbel,
Rose Mary Jameson,
Catherine King,
Gwen Mazzocco,
Candys McCulley,
Gale Michel,
Ann Page,
Karan Parker,
Debra Pyeatt, and
Jena Tuntas
You all sent so many home to me that not all of them were used but everyone of them blessed me!
I am sure they will all find a home at some point.
 You made it possible for me to meet the deadline with a completed vision.
And thanks to Natalie with her camera and to
my husband  building a light box, I have awesome photos!
Now to see if she is accepted into the exhibit....
Blessings to each one of you!

Stunning doll!

Jumping up and down with excitement that you got her done and mailed on time.

Thank you for letting me help give her wing(s).

Now I'm crossing my TOES that she gets in. Sorry, ;D, got to have my fingers for beading all the Bird RR dolls that are coming my way.

She is so beautiful and inspiring. Can I ask if you make the form or you purchase it. If you do purchase it could you give me an idea where to purchase one. Thanks, Lynne UK

I want to thank everyone for your kind comments on "Effy' whether here or by email. I also want to thank everyone who has been encouraging me to pursue the many facets of beading as an art and a business. Who would have thought one thing could be so fulfilling in so many different facets. The result of having such encouraging friends is the developement of my very first pattern and kit. Beaded Cogs SteamPunk Style And there are four colorways. I have a limited number of kits right now but after I teach my first class I will be able to put together more. If you want more information you can leave a comment with your email and I will get back to you.

Beginning again.

I feel as if I am beginning again. However, I have so many things in place from when I really first began this creative journey. I am beginning again, but I am not starting from scratch. The trials of the past have given me perseverance I had not idea I possessed. I am still recovering from a major life change but I am allowing my life to become better and trying very hard to not become bitter... I am finding that I am not having to try so hard at it lately. I have hope. I have a new vision. I have wisdom to stop and pray. I have Grace. I have Mercy. And most of all, I have love. I have the love of so many sweet supporters and friends and family. People who constantly encourage me and remind me of why I create. Why I love to teach people. Why I get out of bed each morning. I have a commitment to stop and spend time with God and meditate each day with him on the creative process he has called me to. I had forgotten what peace and joy there is in that little bubble of medit

The over the top Beaded Cogs Steampunk Style necklace I created for the Fashion Colorworks 2010 Beading Contest made it to the finals. You can go and rate the top ten from 1-5 here . Here are the fabulous photos my wonderful photographer (Thanks again BRAD!!!) took and while it was at his house his wonderful wife and president of the Dallas Bead Society got to prance around and wear it for the day. I told her she had to wear it for a whole day before she sent it home to me! He takes awesome photos!!! It wasn't the first time my beady friends have snagged it to wear for the day. One of them still claims it is a birthday gift that I haven't given to them yet. Thanks for stopping by!
