One World One Heart

EDIT: THE WINNER IS CAROL STOCKER OF SPIRIT'S JOURNEY DESIGNS.

EDIT: COMMENTS ARE NOW CLOSED. WINNER TO BE DRAWN BY HUBBY ON THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 12TH.

I am taking part in the One World One Heart Blog giveaway. The last time I checked there were over 750 participants. Wow! Please click on the above image for information if you are not already familiar with this event.

My offering is my Joy(ful) Doll which I have previously presented to my readers. Since my entry is so close to the deadline, I don't have the time to make something brand new. Joy(ful) is one of my favourite dolls and I think worthy to give away.






















Let me tell you a little bit about her. She is 6 inches tall and her arms span is 4 1/2 inches. Her body is made of 100% cotton reinforced with a heavy fusible interfacing. Each dot is colourfully embroidered. Her face has been painted and drawn on muslin with acrylic paint, ultra fine Sharpies and coloured pencils and sealed with glossy Modge Podge. Her face is surrounded with sparkly aqua glass beads.

She is backed with turquoise felt. Back and front have been embroidered together with a blanket stitch. She is two dimensional (not stuffed) and ready to be displayed somewhere in a small space. She has been created completely out of my imagination and is an OOAK (one of a kind) art doll. I also see her as a mini wall hanging.

If you would like a chance to win her, simply leave a comment. The only requirement to enter is that you must have an active blog. You have until February 11, 2009, midnight EST. I will get hubby to draw the name of the winner on February 12th and I will notify the winner via Email.

All the participants and links to their blogs are listed on the One World One Heart site. I've already checked out a number of interesting new blogs and will continue to do so as time permits. This is a wonderful way to discover new blogs that I probably would not otherwise have found on my own.
