spirit dolls in B/W for the june challenge with ART DOLLS ONLY

I love my online dollmaking friends.  we belong to a group called Art Dolls Only.  the challenges they come up help me creatively to think outside the box.  in this case the june challenge was for a black and white doll.  i love drawing in b/w, and almost right away i knew what i wanted to make.  then the vision expanded and i was creating two dolls  instead of one!  i'm finding that i like sculpting these little clay faces - it give me more dimension than my typical handpainted canvas faces  change is good.  here's the end result.  i also love the little painted clay boots!
