~ OWOH Winner.....

Ok, This was a bit more complicated than I thought!  I had to remove 2 comments, since one person wasn't entering, and one person had posted twice.  I had to add 2, because they couldn't post a comment!

Counting the first 7 is you Wendy, but since you did not enter, because I am already gifting you a doll, I went to the next person, who is.... SewHappyGeek......from England no less!!! 

Seriously? How bizzare!!

So... congratulations SewHappyGeek!  I hope you like :O)

Thank you to everyone for taking the time to visit - I have met some amazing people along the way. 

~ One World One Heart 2011 ~

Hosted by A Whimsical Bohemian

My name is Abi, I'm an art doll maker, art doll collector, & animal collector.  I used to live in England, but now live in Oklahoma with my husband & growing animal sanctuary.

This event is principally about meeting & greeting! the additional bit is there's a door prize for one winner! Simply leave a comment & you'll have the opportunity to win my handmade art doll, her birdy friend, & wooden keyring. If doll's aren't your cup of tea, I'd still like to meet you!  I will use an online random number generator to determine the winner on February 17th.  Lisa's image above was my inspiration for this doll.

She's a 17.5" tall  ribbon jointed doll, made with paperclay & puppen fimo, painted with professional acrylics.  Bamboo viscose hair, vintage & current day fabrics, embellished with a beautiful miniature diamond & saphire style brooch. 

Her bird is handmade from English fabric, and sports a brass crown from Sweden ~ Thanks Christina!

The wooden heart keyring was handmade by my Dad in England. I painted it, and added the text.

A global collaboration, ready to be shipped anywhere on Earth!

PS.  I'm also giving away a handmade art doll sketch book/ journal over at Art Dolls Only, since we are participating as a team for this OWOH event too.

I'm participating in the event ~ One World One Heart ~  organized by Lisa of A Whimsical Bohemian.

                                                                       

It's the fifth and final event, and is defined as ~  giving all those who blog a chance to meet and mingle, and form connections with those they may not have otherwise met, from all over the world.  Each participant offers a 'door prize' and at the end of the event, a winner is randomly chosen from those who visited you.

I am making an Art Doll for my prize, and also this little chap will be accompanying her.....

The bird, not the cat.  Texas thought I'd made him a new toy.  I've not made a stuffed bird before, and found this great little tutorial from Becca of Lavender's Blue.  I'm not totally overjoyed with the bird, so may try a second.

I hope everyone joins in ~ sounds like fun!
