Better Pics
Here are some more pics. I sent in my submission and boy am I nervous. Especially after some of the other submissions. They are wonderful. I'm really nervous about the AFIC (Artisitic Figures in Cloth) Conference. But I felt better when they said there would be different catagories. beginners, intermediate and masters.
Anyway here are the other pictures I submitted.

Dr. Whiteface is finished.
He's finally done. Now I just have to take a decent picture to submit. My camera is acting really hinky and all my pics are funny colors. Not sure what's up with that. Anyway here are some pics I took, but still not able to submit since they're not very good.
Happy with the doll though. Especially since it's really my first time sculpting a full real face. Two actually if you count the little doll on the stick. I have to submit a photo by April 1st and then send the doll in to be in a doll show. I'm really excited about that since people will get to see my doll in person then.
New Dolls
Just started working on a new sock doll. Well not exactly new. Many years ago we made these dolls in the nursing home where I worked. There was this lovely woman ruth who was in her nineties and losing her sight. However it didn't stop her from crafting...ever. anyway she made these great dolls and we called them Ruthie dolls. So I remembered them decided to try making them again. Apparently it's an old pattern that's been around a long time, nothing great, but they're so cute and they're made from socks.
Anyway here is one that's mostly finished and I have about 5 more almost done. Cute eh? I'll post the rest as I finish them.
