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
