My latest little work of art is called "Amelia" the art doll. She's a one of a kind sculpture, made from a weighted water bottle, trim and fabric scraps. Her hair is merino wool, and her face and hands are hand-sculpted polymer clay. She's completely hand-crafted and hand-stitched. My wonderful brother-in-law is a dentist, and for Christmas he gave me dental tools to help me work on the finest details of my small sculptures and art quilts. This doll's armature is a half-litre water bottle, so you can see how comparatively small the facial sculpting is. I had been sculpting with a pin head, and dental tools make the work so much easier! When I started working on her, I had no idea she would look like this. The original idea I had was completely different. Once I began working on her, her "personality" came alive, and it became very clear that her name should be Amelia.
