We are one week into September & my how time just flies. I have managed to get a picture of my August Bead Journal Project done. Was I so wrong when I said that Ohio State Fair was in July...wrong! That as the Franklin County Fair I was musing on. No, The Ohio State Fair is in AUGUST! I spent a whole day sitting at the Arts & Crafts building doing demos on beaded art dolls. Most people were so overwhelmed that I actually sew the beads on instead of just gluing them down. GLUE! NEVER!!!!!! So in tribute to State Fair month, my journal leaf has candy & ice cream buttons that I found in an antique store, a face of a child which is who loved to come to our booth & handle all the dolls we had on display, and naturally the Bounty of Nature. I'm a big orange/carrot kind of person so I beaded an award winning carrot for the Fair. Blue Ribbon winner...well, not really, but still I like it a lot.
Also I've been so involved in recycling for art that I also included a picture of an Ornie that I did for Yahoo's Group ArtDollz. She is the arms & legs of a Dollar Store jester doll, the body is an Advair disc, and the head dress is that of those weird combs you get in a package of hair dye.

Dot, I love your bead work!! these two pieces put a smile on my face! How cool to hear the reaction about "NO GLUE" I don't use glue often either. I will admit ONE face for Carol's swap I used glue on just because the booger kept jumping around!! But only enough to tack it down to sit still LOL
Okay! I have to admit that I DO USE GLUE, but only to keep the bigger beads in place. But I actually had folks ask if I glued the beads down only. Yeppers, I almost passed out!
I'm still a newbie at artdollz and have not yet made anything but I am soooo inspired by your ornie. Good luck in the ornie competition.
Good gosh, Dot!
That Ornie doll is terrific -- I can imagine the astonishment of folks watching you work. People just don't realize what goes into making these wonderful objects.
