My friend Kris had a stall at the Victorian Fete this month and she allowed me to showcase some of my dolls so I could encourage people to come and make dolls with me!

I played around with this doll for ages before I found something that would make it work.  Then  trying to remain multicultural and not offend any cultures, I named it 'Ciceroni' meaning guide - as in 'tourist guide'!LOL! I have since added some gold dangling beading to her hipline and now she really looks like she could show us a thing or two!  In her hand she holds a numbered wish list!
