My entry for "The Magical Gypsy Carnival" 2010 Treasures of the Gypsy Challenge is "Rangeela, the Gypsy girl". Gypsies originated in India and Rangeela means colorful in Hindi, my native language.
Rangeela's face has been inspired by a picture of a gypsy girl.
Rangeela will be touring the special exhibit "In Celebration of the Doll" to be seen at the International quilt market & festival at Houston.
I will be mailing Rangeela tomorrow.
Below is Rangeela's trusted Boa constrictor, keeping a watch over her goodies. Wooden Boa constrictor has been nailed to the tray. The chest Rangeela is sitting on has also been securely nalied to the tray, and so is the silver basket. Just want everything to reach Houston in one piece :o).
Fabrics and trims provided by the Gypsy Challenge Curator. I had to use these fabrics and trims, plus things of my own choosing.

The picture above is not a doll from days gone by, but a photo of my mother when she was a baby!

Obviously I'm working backwards through your blog, but this is just incredible - all those glorious colours and I keep expecting her little arms to move! I hope she was much admired on her special day.
