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

I FEEL LIKE FRANKENSTEIN

With the light of the big

bright Moon

beaming into my studio

Sculpt #3

was born

all her strings are still hanging

I kinda felt like Dr. Frankenstein

stringing her parts together

she moves well, I learned a lot

and I'm glad the hard part is finished

beautiful pale long hair

wings and a fairy dress

the easy part

now she joins Mousefeather and Pinkie

#1 & #2

and I'll have to name her something other than

#3

PAINTING AGAIN AND WIP

WIP

Sculpt #3

painted a linen shade over the pink

all the holes are drilled

the resin experience was awful

glad to be back making cloth and clay

dollies

Best to stick with what makes me smile

Between coats of paint

two spindly blue Sprites

waiting for Steampunk outfits

KAT TAIL BUTTERFLY

The orange blossoms are blooming

hiding in the tree

a

Kat Tail Butterfly

a sure sign of Spring

sitting amongst the fragrant blossoms

Fluffy little country Kitty

don't be shy

Welcome Spring-time

shop

SPRING HAS SPRUNG
