With the colors she's wearing, that name was the first that came to mind. I haven't been motivated for this weekend's showcase and the doll was in my beading box because I had been wanting to put a vest on her that I had started making for the last doll. Instead I ripped up the vest and grabbed some Czech bead soup I had around forever. As usual, one thing led to the other and here's Dawn. I was so tempted to finish her hat with a tassel (she's wearing one because her hair is a bit thin on one side), inspired by one of my favorite Murphy Brown episodes, but I ran out of the amber beads And here she is. It's a shame as I have planned three other dolls, but she wanted to come first and as I wrote in my blog post (which shows closeups of the outfit's individual parts), when the beads call, you have to listen

As always, I'm in awe of your dolls. I just love this one! The hat is exquisite and the skirt is magnificent. And, look at her shoes! And, the bag! And, that tiny bracelet on her wrist! Love the shirt design too! I could stare at her all day. A tassle on the hat would have been cool, but I love it just the way it is. It looks so jaunty. Dawn

Thank you very much, Dawn! I always want to keep going, but am afraid that I'll be overdoing it with accessories. If I had had more than about ten of the ambers left, I would have been very tempted, though. That scene with Candice Bergen and the wonderful Colleen Dewhurst is classic. Now I just wish I were brave enough to try and change her blue eyeshadow.

I don't know that you could overdo your dolls, Cat. They are meant to be a bit over the top; that's part of what makes them so special and it also shows off your many talents and your creativity. Yea, that was a great show. I didn't watch it when it was in production; it wasn't until I caught a couple of episodes in reruns that I discovered it. Hmmmm...are you thinking eye shadow that's more like the fall colors? I can see where it would be tricky to try and change it. Dawn

I kept waiting for more than the first season to come out on DVD and know I wasn't the only one. I also wish I had got the chance to watch the comeback season. My sister recorded Murphy Brown and I have a set of DVDs from German TV that I treasure. Of course a lot has changed since then, so some may think the show has aged, but the interaction between the characters is just brilliant.
Yes, the blue clashes a bit with the other colors in my opinion, but I'm not a good painter, especially not a small scale, so before messing it up, I'll rather leave it this way.

This is faboulous! Your creativity at it's best! I agree with every word our Dawn has to say about it!
And you have reminded me of Candice Bergen and Colleen Dewhurst! Where have the days gone when I love watching their movies!

Thank you very much, Irith! Now I'll have to find a good spot for her. I'd really like to have an extra cabinet for the Dawns, they are a little hard to see standing in front of the big Barbies, lol.
