Back to Ms. Forest...

Well I've figured out what to add onto Ms. Forest. I've listened to you all telling me she needed a necklace so I made her one out of grey rough diamonds and added a little more lace to the hat on her head so that it was more visible. I've also added a little bit of shredded lace to her arms and pulled some of the hair off of her face. Thank you all for your input with this one, I'm very happy with the final results.

More photos of Boo

Boo has been coming along pretty well so far. I managed to get her hands on seamlessly but I still have a long ways to go. Just need more time. I'm just glad that Irene has just about left the building, now lets see when I can make it in for work.

My progress with Boo

Well here's the progress that I've been making on Boo so far.  I wanted to try a few different things with her. For one, I have never ever in my life made hands, I can't even draw them. All the characters in my drawings for as long as I could remember have had their hands in their pockets, they outright scare me. In addition to that, I wanted to start exploring new ways of making eyes. The eyes that I've been making were fun while they lasted, but I feel it's time for me to evolve and move on to more complex ones. I'm already thinking about changes I'm going to make on the next doll that I haven't even started yet. All these random thoughts running through my head are going to kill me. Maybe I'll put feet on this one, or maybe I'll just procrastinate and put them on the next one. They scare me as well, maybe even more than hands....

Boo!

Here's the next doll that I'm working on. I'm tentatively calling her Boo after the little girl in Monster's Inc. I'll be uploading more pics as I go !

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 now!

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 change things and keep evolving.

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 making more at her size.
