This beautiful spirit doll is 8 inches tall, sports a wild mane of hair and is beaded all over, front and back. Her name is Passion, and she shows a real love of seed bead embroidery.
She started out life as a commercially made 8 inch white cotton doll body and a face made of polymer clay by Sarajane Helm.
Laura often dyes the doll body on a spirit doll, but this one is fully beaded. It required 60 hours of stitching to get her to this exquisite state, and several tubes of beads.
More than forty beading needles got bent out of shape during the process, but Laura had a wonderful time creating her. The results are certainly worth it!
