two tutus

Posted on by

I am working on these dolls at the same time… they are going to have the same basic costume. I’ve never worked this way before. I can switch parts around to see what works best. I made the pattern and the jumpsuits yesterday. This morning I was trying on hair.

I found this doll bench for sale (just 10 bucks!) as we were walking to a restaurant for dinner. Perfect for display.

and here it is, in use!

Everything is very raw at this point. I am remaking the black tutu since it doesn’t fall right. Hair is pinned on. Everything needs finishing. But I have found my direction with these 2 pretty quickly. Tomorrow shoes, and vest/ pinafore/ sweater whatever…

2 dolls

I can start working full time on these two dolls. Same head pattern… the differences are in the stuffing, the painting, and the arms and legs. It’s very cold in my studio- not much incentive to work.

Here is a picture of my table at Girls Night Out. The show was okay. I saw lots of friends and I still have lots of inventory, so I guess that’s good.

This is what I’m doing next. It is a doll specific show.

I’m back with a new look!

Hey! Things look different! The spam problem got out of control- somehow old posts were turning into ads for casinos and on-line medication sites. We shut down all comments and posting, changed over to WordPress and now hopefully all is better. There is still work to do, and I lost some archieved posts, but we’ll go forward.

Here is the article about blogging that appeared today in our local newspaper. Only slightly embarrassing.

It is suppose to get really cold tonight, a real hard frost, so I have picked the last few flowers in the garden- the ones that made it after the last, not quite so cold night. These roses are so fragrant- they perfume a whole room… but they won’t last long.

Here are pics of some more mini dolls. I think I’ll have about 20 for the show on Wednesday.

I am so impressed by what Kerstin of At My Knits End has been writing since the election. I’d link to a specific entry, but everyday since election day has been excellent. Wow!
