Finally settled on a face for this doll. Pine needles are really great to work with, although they will tickle and prick you at the same time. I went a little over board and bought more needles that have been dyed. The colors are soooo beautiful!! The shop owner of artgalstudio recommended soaking them first to get them to bend. I haven't tried that yet because I'm content with experimenting with them dry. I've thought of applying hot bees wax on them to see how they look and how well they hold up.
There are more dolls to come!! I've started one that is done with black needles and the full length of the needles are intact. The art doll above has had her needles trimmed.

She's lovely. Pine needles are an interesting material; I've thought of using them for a while now, but haven't. It's nice to see how you used them.
