TIME TO TRY AGAIN


The last two days I've been sculpting like crazy
thought I would try the mold casting thing again
from the last try two head molds, I think usable
now I made fairy bodies for them
and a small head
which needs a body
heavy stone clay waiting to dry


picked the fabrics for Kate, my new doll
of 
Ollies Orphans
a little pattern cutting
corset, skirts, bloomers, dress

BLYTHE ARTWEAR

About a year ago I started collecting Blythe Dolls
they are so cute
but mostly to create Artwear for them
although I have sewn Couture for many years
doll clothing is a whole other world
with my new venture into sculpture of ball jointed dolls
I wanted the clothing to be removable
by practicing on Blythe, my doll clothing
wardrobe has grown
Now is the time to Auction 
all year one Blythe size clothing will be on 
Ebay

WIP MERMAID


Up early these days
Summer is coming
the heat is here to stay
all I can think about is 
Mermaids


I miss the Ocean
and the Tranquility of Sailing
but then I see my
wonderful sprawling studio
in the morning light
Country living is great
too, and not as wet!
