"Lady of the Lake"
26" cloth doll

This doll has a needle sculpted face, quilted hair, trimmed with beads and an elaborate gown made from water soluble stabilizer, ribbon, dyed wool, yarn, Angelina fibers and free motion stitching. The fabric is such fun to construct!! She can hang on a wall or sit. Add wings and she would make a stunning Angel done all in white and silver.

"Masquerade"

In this class you will make 3 different styles of masks. These all encompass elaborate embellishment techniques that can also be used in dolls, wearable art, scrapbooking and home decor. You will work with hot and cold water stabilizers, Angelina fibers, drawing� with hot glue, embossing and machine embroidery. There are 6 lessons in this class that will be e-mailed to you along with the patterns.

"Smoke and Shadows "

"Crone"

The Crones are my very favorite dolls to make because anything and everything is possible with these wise little women. We start with the Secret Keeper pattern. They are approximately 15" tall but may demand a 12" hat so nothing is rigid about them. They will quickly let you know who they are. The bodies are a basic stump design and the costume pieces can be adapted from whatever wonderful scrap of great stuff you happen to have. No rules, just fun. Patterns are mailed to you - the lessons come via e-mail.

"Mother Nature"

Mother Nature is now an ongoing on-line class available directly from Magic Threads. There are 5 lessons that will be e-mailed to you. You will receive the pattern pieces by snail mail.

This is a 30" Tree Woman with intricately embellished details. Her legs are tree trunks created from quilted/collaged/painted fabrics. Her skirt is dyed lace with quilted leaves. Her branch fingers are wired for posing. The face is needle sculpted with eyelids and eyelashes. Her quilted leaf headdress is embellished with bead trim. She holds a cloth bird and twig bird nest.
