This is an art doll I created for a challenge by the Space Coast Doll
Artist.
The theme was entitled “Who Am I?”
It’s impossible for me not to feel pulled in many
directions, and lately I have realized the importance of taking time to center
myself, to remember who I am and why I am here. However, as soon as I come to
that place of peace within, I again feel pulled away, by things or concepts or
thoughts that are important at that moment, such as Family, Health, or
Finances. Then there is always a cloud of Expectation, Duty, and Obligations,
telling me those are more important. I am surrounded by Chaos, Issues and
Expectations. The only way I can stay sane is to keep reminding myself remain
calm and centered, as my life franticly surrounds around me.
Materials: star-shaped muslin body stuffed with fiberfill,
painted with acrylics; faux-porcelain clay cabochon face; upholstery fringe; embroidery
hoop surrounded with shredded repurposed silk strips; embellished with beads
and metallic threads.
