GADGET RABBITS

Steampunk is a sub-genre of science fiction and speculative fiction, frequently featuring elements of fantasy

OK
but I always thought it was the style of
Mad Scientists
and
Crazy Inventors

Playing around with the Steam Punk Style
I created the
Gadget Rabbits

Carnival
Victorian
Rabbits




embellished with tiny metal gadgets

soft sculpture ball jointed dolls
now in my shop

SPICE DEVIL DIVAS

They are back
every year about this time
these sneaky little Devils
cause havoc in my
Studio!


throwing pins on the carpet
stealing my favorite tiny
scissors


I guess it is all about love
and getting my attention
because soon it will be
Valentines Day


and ten years ago
I created these little
Divas
to brighten up the Winter Days


several of the trouble-makers
have gone to live
elsewhere

But still seven remain

must be the smell of chocolate
or the little sweetie hearts
but here they are
staying for awhile
to cause a little
mischief

WILD THINGS WITH WINGS

Little golden wild faeries
whipped through the yard
chasing after the flocks of
Robins on their way up
North

herding the flocks

I tempted these lovelies
with frocks
of Jungle prints


slowing down just long enough
to play dress-up






Off they went, heading up North to Welcome
Spring-time

these three Wild Child Faeries
are in my shop

MY 1ST SCULPTING CLASS AND WAITING FOR WINGS


With the start of the IDEX Doll Show in Orlando
I experienced my first workshop
a wonderful class taught by
Beverly Stoehr

renowned doll artist and sculptor
I learned to sculpt a baby doll head

in the mean-time
my Wild Child Faeries
are waiting for wings

my sleeping baby keeps calling me back
I need ears!

my girls look bored

you will have to wait a little longer
before you can spread your wings
the IDEX in Orlando is the whole
weekend!

to get these faeries excited about the Jungle Style I'll be creating
I found them some little friends!

THE BLUE MERMAIDS OF TROUT LAKE

Central Florida is dotted with many Lakes
one of my favorites is
Trout Lake
during the day the Lake is Silver and Blue

as well as the beautiful Mermaids
that swim in these sparkling waters

a peaceful and tranquil place


to watch Mermaids
dance in the water


Winter in Florida


these two Mermaids are in my
