Mini Me Mixed Media or M to the 4th power!

When I was a little girl, I collected all sorts of dolls. I loved dolls, I would create all sorts of little homes for them, stored them in boxes and had a really extensive collection. Then my brother came along. He didn't love dolls because he would rip the heads off all my dolls.

All my dolls had bodies and no heads. What's really weird is that I just remembered this and have finally figured out why I turned out the way I did....I have been looking for my heads all these years.

On today's video we show you how to decorate our new dolls. We brought out these dolls a couple of years ago and decided to bring them back and paint their cute bodies.

 

 

 

 

 

You can paint them

 

or use the template and cut them from fabric and sew them. The sample here is sewn and other "mixed media" embellishments are sewn on. I use to make doll clothes for all my little dolls. Of course they were kinda pathetic since they didn't have heads but cute clothes.

As I type this so many memories are flooding my poor head and I realize my mom didn't care of my dolls were headless. I wonder if that is why we "butt" heads so much now?

About 20 years ago I started another collection (I have about 10 different collections of crap), and it turned out to be heads. For some reason heads just spoke to me. What speaks to you?
