We are Invincible!

Those dreaded words "breast cancer".  Over the years, many of my friends have been diagnosed with breast cancer.  I made each friend a doll when I heard their news.  Now it's my turn...

To keep myself from overthinking tomorrow, I’ve been working on these “Invincible” figures…made from bits and pieces I found in my stash, outdoors (tiny pine cones), and even in the freezer - ice cream bar sticks as legs! 

I started the project by sketching a few figures on freezer paper as my patterns.

Several ideas regarding the faces as well as breasts.

I didn't take much fabric with me when I moved from Florida to Illinois.  I'm using scraps of cotton, canvas, and styrofoam for the bodies.

Stuffed and ready to embellish

These two are for friends

This one is for me



In case you're wondering "Where's the styrofoam"? - I'm saving that to make one more figure while I'm recovering.
