Just a few more days.......

Just coming back to update you guys on my progress. I am just about done now I just have a few finishing touches to add. Besides the last couple of adjustments, I have one major decision to make. That being if I should make her into another magnet for the fridge or should I try and make her into a wall mask.... Humm what do you guys think?

Something New is coming.....

Hi everyone, I know that I usually make a post and include a photo but this time I'm not. I think that this is mainly the reason why I don't post as often as I'd like to. Even though I try to avoid making them, this year's resolution is for me to make more frequent posts. So this time instead of me showing you what I'm doing, I'm going to tell you about it. I promise to show my in progress shots when I do finally post a photo. Well here it is, I am trying to explore new facial expressions with my dolls. I'm not ever going to stop make sad dolls, but I think its time to show a little joy every now and then. Maybe Joy will be the name of my creation.... I'll try to keep that in mind when she's done.

Here is Julie

I am also proud to announce my new magnet Julie. I made her a bit larger than the other ones at 3.5 inches. My new piece that I am working on will not be sad I promise. I will post her here as soon as I am done.

First Doll for the new yr!

I hope everyone had a happy and safe new year. This is my new doll Emily. I started her about 2 months ago and have finally gotten a chance to finish making her. I am so happy with the way that she turned out :) This is my first doll for the new year and I can't wait to start my new line.

So long....

Managed to make this one in a record breaking 2 days! I was on a tight deadline since our former Editor in Chief was leaving. I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could get her done and on her desk by Monday. I thought she'd be a funny parting gift. Good luck to you in your new position Amy!

Shipped Yesterday!

Well it was hard for me to do it but I mailed her off to Art Doll Quarterly for the 5" challenge. I really hope she gets picked. That would be wonderful! I also hope that they mail her back to me . I fell pretty good about the way she turned out considering the size of her. I really miss her :(

Mini under 5" Art doll challenge

I've decided to make a mini Melandolly so that I could try to submit it into the Art Doll quarterly magazine's contest. The rules are to keep the doll under 5". That was pretty hard for me since I've just started and haven't experimented with making different size dolls. (My dolls are usually about 14") After the second try I have it down packed now. Just might play with this size now that it didn't take too much time to make.
