who do voodoo like i do

My niece has been staying with us for a few weeks and we have done all kinds of fun and creative things.

Dying our hair blue was one of our endeavors.

Shaving a portion of that pretty blue hair off my nieces head came next….

I hated to throw that vibrant blue hair away so I came up with the idea to make voodoo dolls, of course!

Savannah’s voodoo

Savannah and I worked on these together and they each have a few personal touches.

I just made a very simple pattern from an old file folder.

And used some old denim I have been using as a painting drop cloth to make the bodies.

We are both very happy with our dolls and will always have them as a fun memory of our time together.
