I wanted to make them look foreign and exotic, without any distinct racial characteristics - not sure if I succeeded.

Foreign and exotic? I think you succeeded very well! I really like these wise looking elders.
I love them! I love them! I LOVE THEM! I want them! I MUST have them! Seriously!!!!!
these are cracking Kay and I agree with Nancilyn...love the colours you use (just embellished scraps????my word that definately undersells them!!), the plethora of interesting stitches...everything really...stick to what you love doing, the joy shines right out of them
Samantha
Your art dolls are just marvellous...just love them.
How I love these - the expressions, attitudes and stitching!!!
