Lana de Luna - Dia de los Muertos Art Doll

Lana de Luna - Created October 5, 2016
*SOLD*

It had been well over a year since I made my last Day of the Dead doll, Elisa (can be seen in the Gallery). I knew it was time for another, and yet didn't know what her color story would be or how to proceed with the face. Until I found the yarn. I purchased this yarn over 6 years ago, and had NO idea what to do with it. It stayed stuffed in a box with other lovely nonsense, taken out occasionally when I was looking for something else. I happened to be looking for that something else one day when I saw this yarn and knew EXACTLY - FINALLY! - what to do with it. It had been waiting all these years for the perfect doll. It was the perfect shade of orange with bits of sparkly purple running through. It screamed "HALLOWEEN" at me and immediately jumped onto the bald doll's head, claiming its rightful place and securing its hairy position.
