THE BIRTH OF BJD #8


#8
paper clay ball jointed doll

sleeping kitties

all ready to string

not excited
Sailfish still sleeping

all the parts fit together

I always wait until my doll is finished
before I string

morning
still sleeping

early sun before the storms

the birth of #8
now she will sit on my desk
and be admired for awhile


enjoying her simple nakedness
before the lovely faerie gown
is created

LIL COCO

Coco Chanel
the gigantic icon of French Fashion
her suits and style
inspire me
Last Christmas I made a larger version of this doll
after seeing pictures of the Chanel Soho
window displays in New York

This LiL Coco is smaller 14 inches
with a Karey logo painted face
dressed in a cotton Summer suit
with all the glitter trims

felted hat with a silk gardenia

My favorite Fashion Icon only tiny
LiL Coco is in my shop
