Dances With Hearts

She was to be my swap doll, for the Spread the Love doll

swap at Beaded Art Dolls yahoogroup, but my dear MIL

needed me, and I forgot Dances at home. She is just now

finished, and I am so happy with her.

Her face came in a swap, and was made by my dear friend

Sherry's daughter, Rachel, who lives in Pennsylvania. I

thought the face looked somewhat Balinese, so I wanted to

reflect that in both the pose, and the beadwork. So, she is

dancing with her arms upraised, wearing both an ornate skirt

with circular pattern and leggings. Her shoes are strapped with

upturned toes and her hair is both up and braided in back, with

hearts dangling from the ends. She stands 5 inches tall, and looks

sublimely serene, as she dances with her hearts, and with Heart.
