My entry for the Treasures of the gypsy challenge 2011

Well...I swore I would never do this again....I would never post another doll to a challenge.
Customs doesn't like my dolls or maybe they like them too much, because sometimes they refuse to give dolls back. But once in Pamela's shop surrounded by all those scrumptious fabrics and after hearing this years theme I was sold. The theme is renaissance which made me immediately think of this picture.

 

The birth of Venus by Sandro Botticelli

So I went to work and as always my dolls are made from textiles.

My birth of Venus arives from the sea on her shell. An angel comes to her rescue to cover her with a robe. Here are some quick snaps.
