This doll will be off on her journey in a carton later today, or early tomorrow at the latest. She is approximately seven inches tall. The body is unbleached cotton spray dyed with Ranger color washes. The face is air-drying clay, and the beads are of various materials: glass, silver, and bone. I'm not sure whether the coral colored beads are plastic or coral: they seemed a bit heavy to be plastic, though. As usual, I also used various fibres and scraps of ribbon trim.
I'm in the best years of my life, in what is usually called "midlife".
I'm English, and I live in the north of Germany, and I sometimes still wonder how I got here from there.
One of the things I used to hear often as a kid was that I had too much imagination. That tickles me pink when I think about it now, because I've lived off my imagination and my wits for most of my life, and I bet I have more fun and better toys that most of the other kids from way back then, these days.
