"Don't Lose Your Head".....

How many of you have parts of projects stuffed away in your stash, with a sincere promise to said parts, that you will be back. You can admit it, I won't tell anyone. Being a creative person can be a double edged sword because if you're like me, I get excited about everything. I can look at anything and put a project together in my mind with that "thing" I just looked at, and  can visualize every step of the project to completion. Then I forget what I was doing and go to that new inspiration.

I don't think I'm alone in saying that drifting from one inspiration to the next, and eventually returning to that one you were working on, is a never ending cycle... ;o(  I am working hard to stay focused on one thing, no matter how hard the muse on my shoulder is saying, "take a break and do something else". The project today is one of those stuffed away collection of parts.

I haven't done much in the way of dolls for a while, but when I looked at these little heads in the cupboard, I felt I had to do something with them. They were destined for bodies and never got there. Only one was full bodied at one time, and I ended up taking it apart and keeping the head, because she's so pretty. That would be Morgan. I'm calling these "Dangles."  Let's begin.

In the beginning, there were heads without bodies, just stored in a box. This is how I started. They are lined up, waiting with high expectations.

Here they are with their assigned names. ;o)

Here they are with their finished dressed up and embellished looks. I'll put them in the same order as above so you can compare.

    

        

And here are the full view of the ladies and one little bee. I made them to be hung on the wall, or from a floor lamp or a cupboard, or wherever they can be seen and enjoyed. I will have more to show you very soon.....  Enjoy...

Project checked off.
