  • She’s done but missing something…

    Well here’s what she looks like so far. She’s done but not quite complete. I’m just trying to figure out what she needs, maybe I’ll start another project and come back to her to finish up. I usually think of new things when I move on. So I’m off to my next project, watch out Read more

  • Dolly Deerest

    I was inspired to make this doll after seeing The Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Metropolitan musuem of art. He had a beautiful dress made out of ruffles of lace and the model wore antlers to top off the look. The look was called the ghostly bride. I thought it would be interesting to try some antlers out to Read more

  • Got her back in one piece

    I have finally received my doll back from Art doll quarterly. If you missed it she was part of the tiny doll under 5″ challenge in their summer 2011edition. I’m glad to say she made it to California and back in one piece and is now among her sisters.  It was quite a challenge but, I think I’m going to try Read more

  • My Latest Doll

    This is another doll that I had worked on over my 3 day weekend last week. She’s the first free standing doll that I’ve made. I wanted to show off her dress which is the problem that I have with my seated dolls. Her arms are bendable so that they could be adjusted. Also, with Read more

    Well I finished the angry bird, I’m happy with the way that he turned out. I have a few more that I plan on creating but maybe they’ll be the other birds from the game. I have a few other loose ends that I tied up and I will be posting them in a few Read more

    Since I’ve been sick for the past two days, I decided to stay in despite the holiday to tie up loose ends. It felt good to stay in for once, besides I have one less project on the list. Read more

  • Can’t stop, won’t stop!

    Sorry everyone, I promise to finish something one of these days.  I just couldn’t fight the urge to start making an angry bird for some reason. Completely random, but it was calling me. Hopefully I’ll actually finish making him, then work my way backwards to all the other half done projects laying on my work table. Read more

  • New painting I’m working on

    I haven’t painted in quite a while but I’ve felt compelled to start this one. This face has been haunting me in my dreams for the past few weeks. Maybe it’s the little miss no name doll that’s facing me on the other side of my bedroom… Yeah, I’m quite sure that’s the reason. Read more

  • I’m going to try this again…

  • The Blushing Bride and the Nervous Groom.

    Well here is the finished Blushing Bride and the Nervous Groom. The most challenging part was creating the groom since I never created a guy doll before. I never had to work with making pants, shirts or a jacket so it was pretty tough but I managed to put something together. There are quite a few things Read more
