One of my friends was sick and had to undergo surgery last year. That's when I prayed a lot and made this doll for her. The doll is still with me since I wanted to make a doll for her daughter too and send them together. I finally decided to part with a doll from my collection. So it is time for the prayer doll to go to her rightful owner. I am sending Rudy's (Chief Ornament Polisher's apprentice at Santa's workshop)(go to the post dated Dec 24th, 2005) sibling to Amparo's daughter. Hope she will like it.
I enjoyed making this doll and I used my newly acquired art of beading on the project. I was so proud that I could bead in nice swirls. One of my dear friends from Gals and Dolls (my doll club based in San Jose, CA), Diane, had taught me to do it. Notice the clay face- I had long finger nails back then and I used them to etch the features on the mask.
