Introducing:

Cher
The Button Butterfly Goddess

Wow - this is nice - love how you went outside the norm <g>

You guys are KILLING ME.  The last thing I need is another art form to buy supplies for, so of course I'm now completely fascinated with these gorgeous dolls and how to do the stitching and what kind of beads to use and and and... I'm going to Michael's tonite.  Dammit.

Just for that, here's some torture/inspiration:

I know just what you mean - I already had beads from other projects but had to go out and buy new ones for this <G>

Wow - OMG - thanks for posting that site - it's wonderful!
never thought about using long strings of beads for hair..... love that.

Okay, I must say the recent photos here and the gallery link are really inspiring.  I started my monarch butterfly doll over a month ago, and being my regular OCD self, I put it down weeks ago to work on other things.  It looks like I will be picking it up again (after completing swap obligations) and put some long hair on the girl and finish her up

okay, fine, i'll stop pretending i'm gonna get it done soon and post a progress shot.  



There she is. most of the rest will be light blue and light green. More to come... soon, hopefully...
