Here is another art doll piece that I created a few years ago. I attached a special jewelry finding to the back of this art doll piece. It enables you to either wear it as a pin, or as a necklace. The pin finding has a loop at the top, that allows you to attach a thin chain or neck cord, if you would like to wear the piece as a necklace.
I made the fused glass piece which is shown below the doll face. I can't remember the name of the artist that I purchased the porcelain doll face from. I used to sell her doll faces in my bead store, but that was years ago. If anyone knows the artist, please let me know. I'll be doing some research to try and find her, as I would like to order some more doll faces from her. She does beautiful work, they are handmade so no two pieces are exactly alike.
I used the techniques of bead embroidery and peyote stitch to complete this piece. The fused glass and doll head were first attached to a piece of suede. The beading circles each piece then comes up and over the pieces to secure them in place. The back of the piece was covered with a piece of snake skin textured smooth leather, to create a professional finished look.
Take care,
