Late last year, my friend and I purchased the same greeting card that we found amusing. The card designer is Susan Mrosek,
Pondering Pool. We loved the card so much that we challenged each other to make an art doll based on the greeting card! My friend would create the doll using polymer clay and I would use cloth. Let the fun begin! Here are our efforts for you to enjoy. To view additional pictures of my friend, Romona's finished doll go to her blog,
Northbrook Designs.

As soon as I was happy with the face, I decided to use the body pattern from
Allison Marano called Phidias. I was very happy with her body once I tweaked it to fit the face I created.

I do hope Millie gets her humour back, poor lass.
