Goddess Doll
This Goddess is Amber Rose - The Goddess of Bountiful Harvests. She was designed for the 2009 Autumn Goddess Swap challenge in my Goddess Dolls yahoo group. She is the first stump doll I have made and I made her using a pattern I designed. Amber Rose was designed for my swap partner, Christen Bills, check out her blog and she the doll she made me here.
If you roll your mouse over a doll, you can see her back.
Sayings Inside:
- Prayer: May your all your harvests be bountiful and may you always be surrounded by family and friends.
- Autumn is a second spring where every leaf is a flower.
Albert Camus.
Note: I really love this quote as my swap partner's favorite season is Autumn and mine is Spring; this quote brings both together.

- Bead Embroidery
- Machine embroidery done with melt-away stabelizer so that I had virtual appliques that I sewed onto Amber Rose
