Erzulie Dantor doll

Description

This is my first doll make-over, in large part inspired by my deeply rooted terror of clowns. Unfortunately, one Yule some well-intentioned person decided that my doll collection needed a clown doll in order to be complete. After the doll spent over a year in doll quarantine, I became courageous enough to repaint her! I'd originally planned a sort of matt, pewter finish but decided I liked the black as it was. About this time she told me that she was a loa doll, representing Erzulie Dantor.

I sewed a wine-red skirt and a black, kimono-style robe that is held closed by a "belt" made from a tie (you can see a tiny bit of the belt behind the mirror). The scarf is corduroy and the flower fastener is crocheted.

Erzulie Dantor is the protecter of women and children, especially those who have been subjected to violence. She is also the patron loa of New Orleans.

I find it very pretty. still mysterious and slightly alien. like one can't place it's origin but it's still very sweet.
nice touch with the bottle, and the frame.
