2nd ATD

This is my second ATD though I must say I do like the first one better. This is an India village woman carrying water on her head. I am not too keen on her face especially her lips I don't like it. She has Angelina Joli kind of lips. But then I don't know how to sculpt. For embellishing I used yarn and stick on embellishments. For her cloths I used fabric bits. She took best part of last 2 days to make. I have been trying to multi task but I am coming to the conclusion that multi tasking by me won't work. I have too many projects sitting around half done. I have got to finish a doll that I am hoping to teach in India when I go next month and I have to get my skates on that one. Even though it is going to be a simple doll I need to get a sample done quick or I won't get it done. So for now my ATD's will have to go to the back burner and of course most of all I do love to make my dolls they are my first love so I can't stay away from them for long.
