an attempt at.........

For a long time I have wanted to make a doll with a bird cage skirt.

I thought I had the image in my head, but what has come out in this first attempt is not exactly what I had in mind.

There are parts and pieces that I like - I like the flowers around the top of the skirt and the organza that is almost invisible. I like the legs, as if dancing.....

The body is not right. I think I want it to be more simple....and the skirt/cage leaves quite a bit to be desired. (It will eventually "house" a bird, or two)

Understand that this is in the earliest stage and I may not finish it, but start another one pretty quickly, making the necessary changes!

Still, I wanted to share it with you to see if you have any constructive criticism for me.....
