My prayer dolls are leaving!

I just gave this one to my friend, Elizabeth.  She put it by her bed.  I am happy that she liked it.

I gave this one to my sister and she set it on her bookcase in her bedroom.  She likes hers, too.

On Sunday, I will be sending this one to another friend.  She is actually the reason I tried making these dolls.  She was in a crisis and I felt sending her a prayer doll might help.  Anyway, she will get hers Sunday.  I'll see if she likes it then.

My Prayer Dolls are almost done

Here's the bunch so far, just a few things to do to complete them.

The one with the hat still needs the box part.  Her's shrunk when I baked it!

I cannot wait to give these away to my friends.  When I made each one, I concentrated on the attribute I wished to send to them.  Now all I have to do is add the word, so it will be doubly potent.

I joined another online class--making art dolls!

I am a member of several Ning groups and on one I found a class to learn how to make these really cute prayer dolls.  They are hand made out of Sculpey and then painted with acrylics.  So, I trundled myself off to Hobby Lobby and bought a big block of Sculpey and today I made these!

I still need to paint them, but they were so much fun to make.  I can't wait to make more.  I know, I know.  I still need to finish my painting and I will, but this is such a lovely diversion.
