Garden Muse, a stump doll by Patti LaValley

This is a doll I designed and created for the Big Horn Quilt challenge. I used all of the challenge fabrics in her design. She has a body armature which goes into the metal leaf candle holder, and ends in fabric wrapped coiled stems. Quilted leaves, hand made fabric roses and hand dyed vintage lace pieces accessorize the doll. Her face is flat and painted with water color pencils.

Garden Muse won 2nd place in the Challenge
