Woven mixed media dolls - 1

by Noreen on May 1st, 2008

Yesterday, I posted pics of my latest mixed media woven doll, the Earth Listener Angel Doll (click on the name to see her).

Several people asked if I had pics of any of my other woven mixed media dolls. Why yes! Here are some:

Homage to Dame Julian of Norwich. I wove her on my inkle loom and several small vintage looms. Her hands and face are crocheted. I used cotton and linen to make her. Her body is wood that I carved before stitching on the weaving and attaching her armature.

This is Neni. She’s another Earth Angel doll.

I wove her on the vintage equivalent of Butterfly Looms.

I carved her head, hands, wings and shoes from wood, and drew and burned the face and patterns for the wings.

The buttons came from Grandma’s button jar so are more than 50 years old.

In my next posting: More mixed media woven dolls
