Hi everyone and thanks for visiting my blog!! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween or Harvest Day. 

A big THANK YOU!!! to those of you that have visited Bear and Bird Gallery for the Candy Apples and Razor Blades show, there is still time until mid-November to see all ofthe great artists that participated or to purchase a piece of art. 

I have been working on my new pieces for the Small Stuff 3 show coming up in November 22, I will post them next week after I hand them over to the gallery. 

In the meantime here are a few pics of my face ups done on my Ball Jointed Dolls (BJD's). The large one is a Bobobie Sprite in white and the small one is a planet doll Tara in white.

They were done in a big hurry (about 45 minutes!)because I just couldn't wait to see what they looked like behind all of that white resin. I made the Tara wig out of mohair but I need to fix it and style it better. As soon as I sew them some outfits and get them entirely blushed i will take some final shots and post them.

If you want to see them full size, check out my flickr account

Bye for now!

BJD's and more

I'm working on a couple of different things. I love Ball Jointed Dolls (bjd's) but they are so pricey that I only have one, and its a bobobi sprite, (only $150). I would rather make my own.  

Here's a look at a face up I did on a cheap plastic head just for practice and a leg that I worked on. I use dowels and wooden balls, sometimes I use styrofoam and wire, They are then placed in my doll cemetery where they serve as anatomical studies or reference.  I figure one day I will make a complete one but for now just spare parts.  

                              

                              

      

                        

I used white sculpey for this demo leg and acrylic paint and pastels for the face up.

BYE for now!
