MOUSEFEATHER A COLLECTION OF CLAY BJDS

Last year I tried to start a collection of clay ball jointed dolls

I called

Mousefeather

I created a few dolls

but became frustrated with my lack of knowledge

of how to create the movable parts

I felt the dolls were cute but not what I envisioned

Not ready to give up

I found an amazing artist on Flickr

Marina

Marina creates the most wonderful clay BJDs

Marina gave me tips, answered my questions

and become a wonderful friend

Butterscotch was born

the fairy I always dreamed of making

created from Japanese Paper Clay

with 19 articulated parts

removable clothing

and now in my shop

Mousefeather Clay BJDs

A FAERIE NAMED BUTTERSCOTCH

It is finally starting to feel like I know what I'm doing

YAY

after more than 30 plus clay dolls

I actually believe this collection of

Ball Jointed Dolls

will make it into my shop

Sculpt #3

has a name

Butterscotch

I'm so enjoying the process of creating articulated

dolls

and with the waiting time of air-dry clays

I still have time for soft sculpture dolls

too

Butterscotch is waiting for the rest of her outfit

which will be removable

because faeries like to dance naked

in the Moonlight!

STEAMPUNK SPRITES

Waiting for the boats to dock

at one of the many launch sites in Central Florida

I noticed the old Steam Engine

a ghostly relic of the past

As I circled the lonely Metal Beast

Blue Sprites

Fluttered about

Moved here to rest

this old engine pulled many tons of oranges to the North

along with the large Summer bugs

it looked like these Sprites

had made themselves a home

Appropriately dresses in SteamPunk

attire

I watched for awhile

a beautiful peaceful place

Vintage folklore of Florida's fascinating past

These Steampunk Sprites

are in my

shop
