Ah, I got it. I finished her.

I went to Wally World yesterday and looked for a yellow ribbon but I couldn’t find one. Despite sewing a doll by hand, painting her entire body, painting her face and sewing in yarn for hair, I can’t make a bow. It’s sad but true, I can’t make a bow. I tried, oh how I tried but nope.

Wal-Mart (Wally World) didn’t have a yellow bow so I went with white which ended up being a good choice. I also changed out the small white scarf for a little shawl. I love shawls and wear them often. Anyway, I added a red heart button that closes the shawl and then added little white bead earrings. So fun. I like her. She’s all finished.

Here she is, Madison Ann the African Americana Folk Doll by Faith Austin at SUNDRIP – Art for Life. 🙂

Madison Ann is about 18 inches. Like other handmade dolls on Sundrip, she is hand painted and has soft yarn hair. I search yarn shops looking for hair that is unique, something that will compliment the character of dolls made. In this case, the yarn is intended for scarf making but when I saw it I had to use it for a black folk art doll.

Madison’s dress is from upcycled material as are her undies, socks and little white shawl with red and white heart pendant button. She’s wearing small white bead earrings, a white hair bow and little black shoes.

Madison’s adoption process includes shipping to the United States. The administration fee 🙂 for her adoption is $39.00 via PayPal or by other arrangement. **Adopted**

Noted: The African Americana gallery has been updated to reflect the newest pieces of Black Folk art and dolls.

Thank you for visiting Sundrip

Smiles to you and yours,
Faith
