Mini Beaded Doll

I've now posted a tutorial for decorating these 3" art doll forms at Bead-Patterns.com -- it's called "Diary of a Beaded Doll" and it's an in-depth discussion of materials, illustrated techniques, and a day-by-day, step-by-step journal of how I used paints, beads and sequins to decorate the doll at the left.

Celticat and the folks at Delphi's Bead Art Forum do exquisite beaded "dolls," much larger than my 'umble little offering here. Click to read the Bead Art Forum at Delphiforums. The Bead Doll FAQ and Tips page is a compilation of advice from the forum. Also, see the forum's gallery of Bead Art Dolls at Rebekah's website.

Update: I now make polmer clay faces for these little dolls. Visit my Art Doll Faces gallery to see some I've sold.
