GRANDMOTHER'S ATTIC


I love attic spaces
these little dresses have that feeling
found in a dusty trunk in the attic


My Grandmother had a wonderful attic space
in her bungalow in Chicago
dark wooden narrow stairs
up to the top of the house
drifting dust and cobwebs
filtered light through tiny windows
so spooky
chests and boxes and the creepy old dress form
I loved it!

DOLL PROJECTS


Paper clay BJD part of the Halloween Collection
Flumo doll waiting to be cleaned
New single jointed doll for plaster molds needs sanding and primer

and I'm starting to explore resin dolls
rubber mold making
and resin pouring

guess I'm looking for a new challenge

DOLL HOUSE STORIES


My last post about my doll house


waiting for the shippers to pick her up


I knew the day would come when I would pass my beloved doll house
down to the next generation


Happy voyage my old friend
you are off to St Louis
where tiny hands will explore you
and make up magical stories
about you
safe journey
and life go on

one of the many posts on the dollhouse

DOLL MOLD ONE


Dolls from my first plaster mold
Flumo and Porcelain
need to make a new doll mold
amazing how much my work has changed
but she will always be my first
successful mold
I do like working with Flumo air dry slip
it is easier
but porcelain just feels wonderful 

EXPERIMENTS


Been experimenting with air dry slip
poured my first mold 
success
easy to work with when cleaning
and sanding
painted up like a dream
sealed in matte
can't wait to string her
