6th of the 6th Tag

Hi Wilma and everyone, Wilma challenged me to load my 6th photo from my 6th folder to share. I actually had to cheat a little bit as the 6th of the 6th was already on my blog! ha. So I picked the next one. This little person is called "Reaching for the Stars". My original idea was to create a doll that had an uplifting theme, plus I wanted to attach the doll to a large metal ring and make it pleasing and fun to look at. I also wanted it to be hangable to display. All are a challenge when working with fabric, wire and fiber fill. That is if you want it to look natural and really sitting and holding on to a ring. being fully wired made all that happen. I am very pleased with the results and only had it a couple of weeks when I took it to my workplace to share with my work mates. One just said to me, how much would you sell one like that for. I gave her a price thinking she was just interested but not serious. She said I would like to buy that. I just smiled and said thanks not thinking she was serious as I told her it was going to be in a show in Sydney the next week. About 2 weeks later she asked when I was bringing her the doll and how had I done? I nearly fell over realising at that point she was serious about buying Reaching for Stars". I did win a First Place for the doll as well. So now I only have a picture and ribbon and my workmate has this doll hanging in her bedroom. Thank you Chris for buying Reaching for the Stars!
