I'm pleased to introduce "Princess Aquaria and her pet snail, Walter".
Princess Aquaria and her pet snail, Walter, rule a small section of the ocean floor with terror and fangs. Their subjects are a ferocious mixture of the ocean's cast outs. Visitors beware in this little area of the sea!
This is my entry into the ADO Elements Blog Challenge. Seeing that they are sea creatures, my element is water. This should come to no surprise for those of you who know me.
They are both crochet soft sculpture art dolls, affixed to a painted wooden base. I used cotton thread, acrylic yarn, felt, beaded crochet techniques, and the kitchen sink (it seems) to complete them.
Please visit the ADO Team Blog to see all of other amazing doll artists who participated in this challenge! http://artdollsonly.blogspot.com/

I am jealous!! I want so bad to crochet and just can't!! You did amazing things with your challenge doll. So cute!!
