I had been saving the single peacock feather in my bead-box forever, and wanted to make the doll that would hold it in her hands. Keya's dress and ornaments are inspired by the jewel tones picked from the peacock feather, which was later turned into a fan with tiny beads creating the handle. Keya will be leaving for Zambia in July as a gift to a friend ...
Your friend is so lucky. Keya is beautiful! I especially admire her golden bodice and the henna.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like she's on a flying magic carpet in the first photo...on her way to Zambia ;-)
she is very beautiful, I love the way the colours of the peacock fan are echoed in her costume,
ReplyDeleteyour friend will be delighted with her !
