Another Year Older and Surpise

-
Hello to all of my followers out there.  I can't believe I have 205 of you who follow my journey.  Thank you so much for your support and interest into my world.  I am still hosting the give away celebrating this breaking 200 milestone if you want to get in on it you can go here  

I thought I would show you a sneak peek of what I have been doing with some of my creative time.  Below is a picture of the first set of furniture I have built for one of my photo scenes.  It is for Coco Channell's apartment.  It is crafted in the mid century modern style.  But, with a few liberties taken for this particular character.  It has been great fun designing the furniture, picking out the fabrics and materials and getting the job done. It is all in 1/6 inch scale to fit the size of the dolls.



I have decided that I need to actually make Coco's character as the doll I used just for the test shots is way too big for this scale.  That is alright as I can now remake her the way I really want her to look.  I have a headless Barbie body I am going to alter a bit and then sculpt a new head that is a bit older in age.  It is really the only way to get the character I want.


Today I received a wonderful surprise from a friend in the mail.  PB of Mymonstercrush sent me this Rosie Barbie with a hand made dress.  I told her how hard it was to find a fuller figured doll as some of my characters needed to be more real in their shape.  Charlotte is one and I wanted a few more dolls to get away from the tiny Barbie bodies.  Yes, I could probably spend hours sculpting one, but I wanted to avoid that if I could.  So, ta da thank you PB.  You can check out her awesome blog here.

Artists are some of the nicest and most generous people in the world.  I do hope you all have a great week a head of you.  My turning another year older is hopefully making me a bit wiser too.  I am not one to complain about birthdays.  As a matter of fact I rejoice in them.  I made it another year.  What adventures will be in store for me this up coming year.  The forecast for Pisces is awesome for this year.  I have made many great strides spiritually this past year and hope to make many more this new one coming up.  Onward and upward as a dear friend of mine always says.

Go forth and laugh, play and have fun with your life.  Dance like there's no tomorrow and love with all of your hearts minds and bodies.  That is truly what this beautiful life is all about.  Love to you all and until next time.

OK , without further ado here is my entry for the ADO Art Dolls Only challenge The Elements . Please go visit the ADO blog to see some of the great entries for this challenge. Introducing for the first time anywhere, the Mergoblin . He is the first of his kind to grace my blog and studio. Several of his relatives are planning a visit real soon. He is a polymer clay one of a kind sculpt. He has a recycled head that was made for an earlier project. The eyes are fresh water pearls that have been dyed. His tail is made from a type of willow tree. I know the photography isn't spectacular but, I wanted to get him up on the blog in time. Here is a closer view of his head area. This is the other side view. He is mounted on a wooden base suspended by a wire inserted into a brass tube. I painted the brass tube blue to match the stand. This was a fun challenge that got me to think outside my usual box. Hope you enjoy him.

Saying Thank You in a Giveaway

You aren't seeing things.  I have posted this piece before.  But, this time is different.  I wanted to celebrate two things in my little life.  First is hitting 140 followers here on this blog.  I am so honored by the loyal friends who come and visit me and my art goings on.  Thank you for that support and encouragement.  Secondly, a good friend and artist I know really inspired me with her own unique spiritual perspectives on giving.  So, MarZel this is to honor your wonderful contribution to my world as well. The above piece is only about 6x8 inches in size.  But, it's spirit is mighty.  At least to me it is.  The intention while creating it was to honor the trees that are constantly sacrificed sometimes without thought or honor for humankind.  In many cases without a thought, just discarded because they are in our way.  The trees are our guardians, give us food, shelter, many things we use i...
