WIP Spinel Faerie

I am finally ready to show you the first pictures of my new doll! She is Spinel Faerie (I haven't decided on her name yet, aside from this title), the first in a series of Gemstone Faeries. All the colors used for this doll represent colors that spinel is found in naturally. Her dress, which I am now making, will represent red spinel, and will have real pieces of black spinel on it. The black spinel I'm using is pictured with the doll below ^_^

Spinel Faerie is about 9.25 inches tall. She is made of Japanese glass seed beads, Swarovski pearls, and organic cotton thread & fiber fill. She is ball jointed, and has 13 points of articulation.
