Wow! I especially like the way you've done the hair on the middle doll but my favourite is the first doll (blue) she's sweet.

The dolls are charming--my fave is the one with lime green legs!

thank you for your lovely comments, the last doll - you'll know her by her name Bellisimo Nippoli was inspiration from a recent trip to Italy, here is short blog about her with some pics that inspired her creation craftybeetle.wordpress.com/2015/04/04/art-dolls-an-italian-experience/the blue cheeky doll was my first attempt, and then the green legged woman, who I had to do battle with came second (her bags are packed and at the door if she doesn't play fair) if I am in the groove and have all the stuff I need they take a full day to make

When I saw the third doll I wondered if you'd been inspired by Niki de Saint Phalle, I saw a poster a few years ago for an exhibition. Very good

Those are wonderful. I love their personalities, especially the attitude of Bellisimo

Great dolls Carole. I really like "Green Legs" though I can see she could be trouble!

Zed I hadn't heard of her until I went to Italy, and visited her tarot garden near Rome, I was blown away. How do you know about her? have you seen any of her work? I'm asking because I also know that they have had traveling installations of her work.
