Global Warming Doll bead-a-long







I have just completed my doll for a bead-a-long that i participated in. It was in a yahoo group. My inspiration for the doll came from the ice that is melting in the icy regions of the world. I beaded an Ice Maiden, based on the fairytale, The Snow Queen with the thought that we should not let our ice regions of the world become just a fairytale.
