ROSEBUD FAERIES & BABY BUDS

Doll House Faeries

The little Mommies of the Faerie World
appeared late in the evening


By morning these lovely ladies had found
a comfortable place to live


Up in the Attic the nest were awaiting
new eggs

Cozy in the doll house

RUSTY

South of Key West
there lies the
Dry Tortugas
where great Lagerhead Turtles
swim among the
coral heads

This be paradise for a little Pixie Pirate
named
Rusty

in the old lighthouse
she watches the jewels
a very important job
keeping
the treasure of her Master
safe
she wears a Pirate and Crossbone pouf skirt
and red corset jacket
she loves her tri-cornered feathered
hat

peaceful palm breezes no ships in site

Rusty is in my shop

A LITTLE WORK AND A LOT OF DOLLIE PLAY

Ball jointed
Dollie #15
the stringing part is always
about the birth of a
doll
and very exciting

it is when hours of sculpting work
comes together

I never string until I'm completely finished
so I never really know how the doll will look when she is
strung
I suppose it is a weird way to work
but all the joints and pieces always fit perfectly


this is when she gets to pose for me

holding one of these little dolls in hand
is the reason I no longer want to
create soft sculpture

little faeries in my imagination come to life

A NEW LOVE OF TINY FASHION

The most wonderful
Christmas Present!
a hand-made wardrobe
a month ago I drew some sketches and my friend Bob of
created a dream come true
a fabulous space to display all the
Blythe Artwear

Early Spring I was bitten badly by the Blythe Bug
these adorable big-eyed cuties, have so much character
Since then I have collected and made lots of tiny fashion
Wanting to display them, I found most collectors keep the doll dresses
in a box.
But it is much more fun to display the clothing like Art
Great inspiration and imagination

Fits perfectly on my desk
where I can see everything, and continue creating tiny Fashion

If you would like a wardrobe built

still working on moss and ivy
on the walls and floors




the bathroom has a antique petal bowl
for a bath tub

the word is spreading
and soon more faeries will appear in the house

NEW OBSESSION TINY FAERIES

As I move closer to the end of the year
my Art and doll-making has taken a new direction.

Packed away all my soft sculpture and fiber work, never thought that would happen,
working in clay gives my dolls such dimension, and character.

I have truly become obsessed with creating
ball jointed dolls
this past year I found it harder and harder to complete soft dolls
so I've decided to work in clay
in 2012

these tiny faeries have taken over
quick to make and fast to dry
I will have a Studio filled with tiny faeries
before the end of the year!
Soon I'll start mold making and casting
2012 is going to be spectacular!!!
