I HATE DOLL STANDS

pretty little dollies look so uncomfortable
posing with wires under their arms
My oldest brother
The Nordic Troll

Beds and Chairs
for lovely little creatures
to rest on
fantastic way to display
Art Dolls

UP WITH THE BIRDS SET NUMBER NINE
Outside Studio
Tiggee is bird watching
getting set up to pour plaster
If it looks like I'm tidy
I am
it makes a dirty job easier
With each set I have done
I learn so much
plaster is an unforgiving media
no problems removing the first half
the new parting compound I'm using
seems to be working
very few bubbles
off these go to sit and dry on a rack
for a few hours

SET NUMBER NINE AND STILL TRYING
Making molds for porcelain dolls
is a learned art
I'm still learning
I had a chat with a master mold maker
up North
and was able to get some tips on mold
parting solutions
the molds are getting soaped
in layers
keeping my fingers crossed
that this is the set that
is successful
