THE LEARNING CURVE


the learning curve
for me it is becoming a full circle
my first porcelain BJD


4 years into ceramics
still trying to figure it out


but looking back at my first dolls
I have come a long way
I look at these dolls and see all the mistakes
but I enjoy the challenges of porcelain
this time consuming art
teaching me patience with time

TWIGS


The first batch of porcelain dolls from my new molds
Twigs despite her flaws is my favorite


and the kiln is soft firing
another batch of tiny dolls

MY LOVE AND HATE RELATIONSHIP


sewing I love it
I hate it
but I love making clothes for these dolls

Blythe
has brought back the joy of sewing
dusting off my machine
and creating adorable
clothes
This Spring I will be creating
a Collection of Fairy dresses
for Blythe
while working on my porcelain
dolls
a comforting thing to do
after a long day of struggles
with artwork.
