Still finishing up some pieces that I promised to make before the end of the year. Sometimes those promises are really only to myself but still…

My big show is over but I never finished posting all the dolls!

The show was fantastic- I finished up last night feeling excited and energized and it’s been a long while since that has been the case. Hurray! Also, the tattooed people did not sell so I have lots available if you are interested in getting one. I will be posting them on to etsy as soon as I can but I have such a backlog of work in all the rest of my life (hello laundry!) that it might be a few days. I thought I’d try something different. I am going to post groups to Instagram and people can message me through the various sites (instagram, facebook, twitter) or email me – mimik@pobox.com. It’ll be an experiment.

I’m running into the crazy time where the weather is not cooperating with my need to take photos before I pack everything up for the show this weekend. I’m running outside between raindrops.

Reminder- Show

I love this leafy mauve fabric that I found when I was out in LA last Spring. It seems so perfect for this old-fashioned tattooed lady.

She has excellent arm ink-

A silk bow at her back-

Striped stockings, so fancy! You can see the hair fabric’s print in this pic-

A close-up of the back of her hair-

This is the first of 5. Hurray for something getting finished!

Hopefully this will be the start of a flood of finished items as I get ready for my trip to Nashville and the Tennessee Craft Fair. So soon!

She has a very old-fashioned look which matches her sepia tones.

And here she is with all her sisters.

I will be listing these on Etsy this afternoon. I will update when they are all live.

Update- all in the shop now!
