this baby is the antithesis of todays weather!
So I got mentioned on Design Sponge last Friday- Thanks so much Camilla! Unfortunately I am working flat out for my show this weekend and won’t be putting any new work into my Etsy shop until next Monday. So- that is the word- shop update on Monday, December 15 starting at 12, eastern standard time. I have no idea what I will be posting because it will be what I have after the show. And one never knows about shows.
hah hah!- that Statue of Liberty placement is looking highly suggestive… the kind of thing I notice in a photo but not on the actual doll.
These next 2 were special orders-
This is what I am working toward-
When it is over, I will do an Etsy shop update on Monday, December 15.
another circus tattooed man.
but completely different-
I’ve been thinking of it as a Speedo but, you know, the trademark issues.
I put darts in the front and the back so he has “bulges”…
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I am trying to do some catch-up posting.
Amy suggested that the slightly injured kids I did a few weeks back looked like they’d been in a playground tussle. That is how I am thinking about them now. I’ve made another skinned knee girl.
I won’t be listing any more in my Etsy shop for now because it clicked-in the other day that it is only 2 weeks to the South End Holiday Market… Yikes! That said- if you think you need one of these dolls as they go by, email me (mimik(at)pobox.com). I don’t want to spend a day figuring out photos and descriptions for Etsy when I ought to be making more, but I am happy to sell them directly… does that make sense I hope? Then, I will have an update on December 15.
Another party girl with little buns. This time she is dressed in soft pastels.
Here she is, out in the sun. I love the shadow.
This is a crazy, crazy time of year. I am not keeping up with postings or my emails. Just in case you are waiting for a reply…
this is my 900th post- wow… that’s a lot for someone who used to consider herself writing phobic.
Kerry tagged me a while back for 7 random things. These will be Very random and a bit rambling.
1. Pie makes me think of Mary. I made that one last night.
2. If I make a doll and it makes me think of one of Rosa’s daughters, I feel like it is a success!
3. This is one of my brothers. And this is another. This is my husband. This is my husbands’ brother. My daughter works here.
4. I bought this book by Ruth Singer from AmazonUK. The exchange rate has flipped and now I feel like I got a great deal by going through a UK site. The book is beautiful. I will probably post more about it on another day.
5. I love the internet. Ebay was my entry drug. The craft/art blog community and Flickr are at the top of my love list. I am liking Twitter but still getting used to it. I am still not clear on how Facebook fits into my life. Etsy works for me.
6. I did one of these memes a while back. That star I mentioned? Here it is-
7. This makes me incredibly sad. I have been involved with blogs- reading, commenting, writing- for about 5 years now. I have read about new houses, sicknesses, babies born, pregnancies lost, marriages and divorces, and sometimes it seems that someone just disappears. This is the first time I have felt connected to someone going into hospice. And the odd thing is, I have been a lurker for all the years I’ve watched her amazing drawings go by. Maybe I commented once. But, I still feel like I know her in a way. Her artwork touched me. I teared up when I read this post.
I will try to tag some people soon- right now I feel exhausted just doing this!
Four more. Two are green hills-
and
And 2 snowy hills-
This one has a little bit of Christmas in it-
and a chipped saucer. That’s what you get from thrift store tea cups.
I will be putting them onto Etsy either tonight ot tomorrow morning.
