Kids Picture to Rag Doll

I am so excited to audition for So You Think You're Crafty.

For my audition piece I started with two simple things.....

A picture my daughter drew:






And a bunch of old T-shirts:



So I decided to make my daughter a doll out of her drawing, and so dolly was born:


My husband thinks that she looks like a Zombie doll, I think she is a pretty close match to the drawing.


I think she looks like a rag doll supper model.

Here is the Before and After:



Ironically someone else decided to take their child's drawing and turn it into awesome art. Check out Besserina and her Stitched Pillow for Olivia: HERE. I can not believe we basically made the same audition piece. 

Thanks for looking,

OH MY GOSH Robin, I know! That first morning I was so excited to see all of the auditions up, and yours was first. I called my husband in and we were both cracking up about yours and mine being so much alike!!! Good luck, can't wait to see which one was yours this week! :) Bess
