ANA AND SAILOR

Ana is the first ball jointed doll

from my

Mousefeather Collection

although I have thought about this Collection for some time

I guess it took a few years to get it all together

the way I envisioned it

but finally here she is

a single ball jointed doll barely 9 inches tall

a child-like fairy

dancing in the sun

Sailor wanted to meet

and play

mesmerized by her beauty

pretty little fairy dress & hair next

THE EYES HAVE IT

Been experimenting again

watched a tutorial on eye making on

http://marinasdolls.blogspot.com/

looking to make eyes for my

Attic Ghosts

I used gel medium on this batch

My little Mousefeather doll is almost done

done sanding and drilling

painting and hair next!

WEEKEND OF CARTOON INDULGENCE

Attic Ghosts

been awhile since I just played with clay

and spent a rainy weekend

making cartoon characters

Mousefeather Girl

Pets for dolls

In my Studio Tweet found a comfy nest

and Ella sweetly sits in a twig chair

THE RESULT

A new day

everything always looks brighter the morning after

My mold experiments

Well,

this set was better, but I lost two molds, the body and upper legs

I suppose I will make some sort of doll

using a soft body and casted parts

But

for now I need a break

and look forward to creating sweet little

one of a kind dollies

EXPERIMENTS FAIL

When artistic endeavors become

over-whelming it is nice to be

reassured by sweet little

faces

ROUND TWO

On to the second set of molds

tossed out the first set

the plaster mix was not good, they were

crumbly

Made a ooak sculpt, two heads

also decided to go with the clay box,

the pieces are so small

learned a lot from the first set of molds,

this set will be perfect

and my Mousefeather Dolls

shall be born!

FI FI A FRENCH FAE

Fi Fi

loves the great music salon at the

French Palace

she sits on the velvet pillows

and waits until everyone has left the room

then she samples all the cakes and sips the Champagne

she hovers about in her pink hoop skirt

doesn't take much pink frosting to fill her up

she looks like a piece of cake

Fi Fi is in my shop

BIG HAIR & NEW SCULPT

Fi Fi

checking her high hair-do

still working on hoop skirt

new sculpt for plaster molds

LOTS OF CLAY WIP

Little French Fi Fi

all strung

up

The last French Fairy for awhile

the beginnings of a new sculpt

stone clay

and my molds still drying

I think they will make great push molds

the next set will be perfect!

JUST NOT READY TO GIVE UP

Since my experiments with mold making

seems all I can think about!

March truly came in like a Lion

armed with the experience of my 1st try,

determined to do it again

"Better"

started another doll, working on her core

she will be sculpted out with paper stone clay
