Day of the Dead dolls...

Thinking more and more about the approaching holidaze season, and especially about the opening holiday of Day of the Dead. It's always been interesting to me that pregnancy & infant loss awareness month happens in October and leads right into Day of the Dead. We always do a small ofrenda here, and since Dakota's death, it has usually included a toy of some kind. This year with the 1,000 Faces project, I decided to make a few assemblage and ACEO dolls as toys to share. Just posted a couple in the Etsy shop. Wanted to share them here!

This one comes in a set with some other items for making your own doll or other art!
ACEO dolls and kits are sold now!


And then this one is so fun! She's just made out of found or recycled stuff really. I just loved sculpting her together. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7122143
This one is still available!


Miracles!
