Flip-Flop Dolls

Don't you just love fall? The air gets more comfortable and the time for tying up loose ends comes together. I have begun to order books for next spring and stow away baskets and signs from the local market.

I have also begun working on my flip-flop dolls...those amazing two in one dolls that flip over from one doll to reveal another: bride/groom, blonde/brunette, ballerina/football player. I have collected the gourds I want to use -- miniature bottleneck gourds with similarly shaped and sized head and belly. My own stash fell a little short this year, so I contacted another member of the Virginia Lovers' Gourd Society and luckily got another 20.

These dolls are in one of the books I've written, but having a step-by-step online tutorial has merit as well. I hope you try these for yourself!
