I especially like the way the facial expressions capture the root bodies. <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine needle felts and she has made "mini-me" dolls/sculptures for several of us. They are little replicas of us and are really quite sweet. However, most of the men and boys find something oddly disturbing about this whole thing (capturing your likeness in a doll.) Maybe it has something to do with our innate female power and their fear of us using the dolls in voodoo fashion?<BR/><BR/>Great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31232562.post-68499796711716086602007-11-18T20:32:00.000-10:002007-11-18T20:32:00.000-10:00I had to laugh out loud when I read your husband's...I had to laugh out loud when I read your husband's comment.

I hate cleaning up projects, I think they should be allowed to sit there until they ask to be picked up.
