Sketch of the week: 16-Doll from a dream

I had a really vivid dream the other night, about looking down at a beautiful doll clad in bronze armor in my hands.Even though my dolls are strung so tight that they never go limp, this doll just hung limp in my hands under the weight of this enourmous, intricate armor as it was sliding off her shoulders. Her long, jet black hair was spilling all across her bare shoulders and streamed like sand through my fingers as I held her, in thick, wavy locks. She was sleeping.I woke up with this image burned into the back of my eyelids like a still frame. I might make it someday. When I have time to learn how to make armor for dolls. I think I've got my hands full with learning how to make bronze coffins for the moment. I know it's possible. This amazing Canadian artist Jeff de Boer made armor suits for mice. And if it's possible to make armor for a mouse, then making one for a 13"  tall, ball-jointed, porcelain doll has got to be a piece of cake, right? How hard can it be really?(Read: sarcasm)Isn't this amazing?                                                                                                                                                                                                      I should look into chasing and other metal shaping techniques. Off I go.ATTENTION CONTEST PARTICIPANTS! The deadline for mailing in the entries has been extended to March 13th.
