This doll fairly flew, and I felt my Granma Agnes watching, and smiling over my shoulder, as I worked on her.
I had to take off the gold lace at the top, but put blonde curls in their stead. She always wore her hair pulled straight back into a bun, or in braids, to sleep. She didn't allow the curls to roam freely over her head, so I did it for her.
She is also wearing a colorful shrug over her blue dress, and has lots of lace on her dress, beneath her lace apron. Those aprons were usually done in cross stitch embroidery, but I used bugles, to give it a bit of Gypsy bling!
I hope you enjoy these pics- remember you can doubleclick on them to make them full-size.

Good Morning Aryd'ell, from very snowy and cold Michigan. LOVE your finishe A&OL beaded doll. I love all that lace and its special meaning. Your Grant Grandma would be proud how you used it. Isn't it great to have such treasures around to use on special projects like this. Envy you your lovely warmish weather down there in the south. Hugs Judy
