New Doll





I'm on a roll now with sculpting. I'm really having fun with it. Here is a face & hands that I've started. Not sure what it will be yet, but it's an old man. So I'll go from there. Now I'll have to make a body for him.

Discworld Doll





Been working on this doll, which is another character from the discworld series. She has been shipped out to go to the Discworld show in Ohio I think.Her name is Miss Treason and she is a witch from the series. Her face and hands are sculpted in polymer clay and her body is a wire armature with soft wrapping. She is an original design, I used her likeness from the internet photos of Miss Treason.

Steampunk Doll

I've been sooo busy lately that I haven't been good about posting here. I promise to get better. I've been working on a Steampunk Doll for a DollStreet Dreamers challenge. She took a long time to finish. I don't know how these ladies do it so fast. One lady has made 2 in less then a month. I think mine took about 6 weeks to finish. lol Well anyway.
Her name is Octavia Oakley and she has a polymer clay face and a wired armature body that's been stuffed and sewn. Her hands are also cloth. Her outfit was originally a pleather jacket that I cut up and made into her vest, boots. Her pants and blouse are the silk lining from the jacket. then she has lace all around. Her hat is actually a styrofoam plate covered with the pleather and then with "steampunk" items glued on.
Now comes the hard part. I have to pack this baby and send it to the woman who will be taking them to the show. lol

It's been a while!

Well we never sold the house, but now we're renting it. We have however moved to PA and we're loving it. Despite the weather we live in a beautiful log home and we're only 1- 1.5 hours from our family. 
Also my DH built me a beautiful studio in our basement that is a wonderful place to create. It's been a while, but I'm finally back in business. Here are some pics...before & after.
