Ball Jointed Doll DREAMS

After my recent adventure to the IDEX Doll Show

in Orlando

I'm once again obsessing over BJDs

over the Valentine Holiday I was gifted with several

manufactured dolls which are nice

but there is nothing like holding a hand-made doll

playing with its tiny joints

gazing at the beautiful painted face!

continuing with soft BJDs

my WIP

Pixie Pirates

which are distracting my obsession

designing fabulous outfits

they will be in my shop next week

But while waiting for the faces to dry

carved some foam for new clay dolls

a fairy

a mermaid

I find it easier to overlay clay over a form of some kind

Like I know what I'm doing LOL

just experimenting

looking towards making molds

and casting resin

soon

After all, a doll shop should have a large

assortment of dollies

Have a great weekend!

MY LOVE OF RAG DOLLS

My love of rag dolls

started as a child

as soon as I could thread a needle

I started sewing

soft little

dolls

thought it was time to revisit

my old favorite

a flat pattern or pan-cake doll

with a little shapely

sculpting

dressed in pretty dancing dresses

of the Deco period 1920's

sweet little painted faces

a larger doll

14 inches

similar to the smaller dolls I created 20 years ago

and my logo

the face I paint on every doll

as a signature

seems like such a long time ago

when I designed

my face

painting this sweet little face

that always makes me smile

these three Deco Dollies are in my shop

Happy Valentine's Day
