SPACEWOMb GALLERY Exhibit

Hello everyone, I have been getting really bad at posting lately, but I am back to tell you all that I have just had a gallery showing at SPACEWOMb Gallery. They took three of my dolls for display. I am so excited to have been shown there, hopefully I will have more showings in the future! They also used one of my dools for the flyer, yay!

A new direction

Here is a new project that I am working on. I was inspired by Frida Kahlo's Wounded Deer painting. I'm not sure where this one is going, but I'm sure it will tell me what to do while I'm making it. Yeah, I admit it, my dolls tell me what they want to look like and I listen.

MY Little Devil in a Blue Dress

This is a doll that I am working on which I call "Devil in a Blue Dress". I have a few finishing touches to add to her but I wanted to share these photos before I was done. My inspiration was Tim Curry as "Darkness" in the movie Legend. 

And Off She Goes!

Well I finally got around to sending her off to Art Doll quarterly. They're having a seated doll competition and since she hasn't been doing anything but sitting on her butt all day, I decided to send her in. I hope she gets published, wish me luck!

It's been a while but I have completed her!

I am sorry, but I have neglected to show you all how she came out. For the most part she’s done, but I always go back and add things. I subtract things as well, frantically ripping things off. Hopefully I’ll leave this one alone, she’s been trough enough already! Her title was originally "My little black heart " but as a suggestion from a friend I decided to call her Raven. I think it suits her well.

Russian Police Shutdown a Doll Protest

I thought I'd share this with you all on this gloomy Friday. The police in Russia are putting pressure on activists to shut down a doll protest which consisted of a few dolls with signs. They even told them that they had to rent the snow that the toys were in from the city to try and shut down the protest. What are your thoughts on this?

The Fall of Fimo

I found the achilles’ heel of my Fimo clay, making hands. I broke two fingers after curing the clay, so I put a ring on it lol! It seems to be very brittle with smaller details. At first I thought Fimo was perfect. It was very soft and easy to use, not so rough on the hands what more could I have wanted? Oh well, next clay I'm going to try will be Cernit. Other than that, what do you all think so far?
