This is Mother's Love. She is finally completed and photographed for the Beading for a Cure 2011 challenge and competition. This is an OOAK (original one of a kind) doll made by me (Dot Lewallen). I purchased the kit from the Beading for a Cure organization & added one bead type, sequins, a pendent, and crystal Rivolis to this hand made doll form. These are the 5 images I'm sending into the competition judging. Mother's Love will be auctioned off in the month of March/April on eBay for our charity with money going to the Colo-Rectal Cancer research.
Enjoy.
