DOLLHOUSE STORIES

WET FELTING WOOL ANIMALS

DOLLHOUSE STORIES TOGETHER

My weekend project a dollhouse big enough for my Nordic troll furniture. A perfect showcase. Started adding fairy touches the play continues 

DOLL HOUSE STORIES CONSTRUCTION

I finally found a dollhouse that will fit my puppets. Wood mostly in the process of painting 

WET FELTING

Started wet felting since I'm quarantined what a fun craft making all kinds of fairy clothing for my porcelain dolls 

SUCCESS WITH COLORED PORCELAIN

Two colored Porcelain puppets, I like the porcelain half ball jointed and ribbon tied arms. The colored Porcelain is harder to work in than the earthenware clay. Still want to keep the figures small. BJD puppet and little Deerfae

TESTING COLORED PORCELAIN

What is the mystery of porcelain? Always wanted to sculpt in it, finally I found some in the USA. Gorgeous colors and low fire YAY. So now I'm testing it to see if I can create my puppets in this media. So far I hand sculpted some ribbon dolls trying to get the feel. The last three years I have been sculpting in white earthenware, which I love but porcelain just has a feel about it that you can't explain.

My first laser printed dolls arrived right before Christmas. These 7 inch collectables will be in my Etsy shop soon. All the faerie creature of my dreams will get to come to life this year. What a Happy New Year it will be.
