Description I took some much better pictures of this doll so I decided to resubmit her and move the other one to scraps.

The Tree Wife is a guardian of the forest who provides shelter for even the smallest creatures of the wood. She is a mixed media doll with an upper body of fabric and a lower body of curly willow. Her dress is made from collage fabric that I created specifically for this doll with layers of beautiful fibers and metallic embroidery. She also has extensive beading on her arm, neckline and face and holds a small bird on her outstretched hand.

Wonderful as always! I vow to have one of your fairies in my collection... sure wish we could hurry all the remodeling so I can get on to the task of decorating! Beautiful workmanship, design and the story/meaning behind your dolls, like they are crafted in a land of wonderment and love!
Blessings,
Pegs

She has a very organic feel to her. Excellent job on the theme of wood wife. But then you always do such enchcanting dolls.
