Dolls in Process

I have several dolls in the process coming in the near future. I have bride and groom coming up real quick due in August and a special doll for a store. I am also making my own version for her as a thank you. I also am getting into a Doll Challenge which I have to make two dolls due in November.

So far the store owner is pleased with my work, and has sent me some more ideas as how she wants her doll. This is the biggest challenge I have had so far, so much fun.

I have made three dolls from some wonderful doll makers patterns which I have only posted one so far. I am really learning a lot from working with these others doll makers patterns. Now my only problem is all the dolls I have around my house. LOL

My little Gobblin




I made this little gobblin and he was my first doll I did face sculpturing on. He now has a great home with a sweet young gal.




Doll Challenge

I entered a Goddess Doll Challenge just for fun. I only had three days to do it in.. LOL! Whipped her up real fast. After the judging is over with I'll post a picture of her. I can't wait to see what others sent. It's a "fun challenge" , and for me it was to see how quickly I could come up with a Goddess and make her.

Raggedy Ann


I made this Raggedy Ann doll for our great niece Daisy, who will be 1 years old next week-end. I was so very happy how she turned out. I used the "Sweet Annie" pattern from Mamaws Creations. It was so simple to put together. Daisy's mom and dad are into horses and I had this Blue Betty Boop Cowboy material sitting around and no Raggedy Ann is complete in my mind without her apron. I had a challenge with the hair wanted to make sure it would not pull out under the pressure of a toddler. LOL, I went to a new group of friends I have at FOCD, and these wonderful dollmakers gave me great suggestions which I took advantage of. I can't wait to give it to her this coming week-end!

Whats going on???

I have a consignment that I am working on for a bride & groom for a August wedding. I am still finishing off my new series of dolls, working on a goblin and I got another doll that is very different from any of these that I am making and am working on getting a consignment job of signature dolls for a store. So I am busy and its loads of fun. Been looking around at new fabric stores and checking on the cost to have my sewing machines fixed.. but I am thinking about pulling out my old machine that is a wheel and pedal style it only does straight stitches, but that's all I really need.. it would be a blast I think to sew on an old antique sewing machine, thing is it still works while these new ones die so quickly.

Oh and almost forgot my daughter is getting married this July, wow so much to do. I love it.

Elf Gal

My Little Elf Gal. She turned out quite fine. She has bright green eyes, and has wires in her arms and legs.



She can sit on your shelf or on your computer desk. Or you can pose her on a stand.

Troll

Add ImageI got my Troll finished. I think he looks just great... haha
He is a little hairy and he found some clothes that are a little small for him.




He has wires in his arms and fingers along with wires in his legs too.
