A Farewell to Hannie Sarris

I just learned that dollmaker Hannie Sarris passed away a few days ago. She was an amazing artist and an inspiration to me.

My prayers are with you, Hannie, and your family. You will be deeply missed.

You can visit her site at http://www.hanniesarris.nl/

Happy Easter!!

I just wanted to take a moment to wish all of you a very Happy Easter!!

Alice in Wonderland at Last! (95% complete)

I am honored to present my Alice in Wonderland

Like I always say, I apologize for the quality, I am a poor photographer but I try

(picture 2 and 5 enlarge, the rest don't want to cooperate)

I usually don't take or show pictures of my commission work because some of my collectors prefer their pieces to be private.

Except for this one, YAY!. A close friend asked that I not post it until today so it can remain a surprise. Here's a quick lookie-loo at my Alice. She is 95% complete, just needs her hair done and a hat of her own(she borrowed this one from another sculpted girl). That will be finished and handed over tonight. Alice is almost 10 inches tall and a full sculpt except for the elbows and shoulders so that she can gently pose her arms. I was told she will be holding a little pig in a blanket so I sculpted the hands in a pose that will allow for that.

I had a great time putting together all of the bits and pieces to make her special. I love, love details! I could have easily gotten carried away with this one, where talkin' furniture, pottery, scenery, the works! Luckily the request was for just the doll.

Anyway, back to work!! I have a gift to make for a friend and then some show pieces to start on.

Bye for now,

Rosanna

New Studio for 2010-Update

Here is an update on my new workspace. I have painted the once light blue walls a richer shade of blue green and the white ceiling is now a dirty off white parchment color. I purchased a few pieces of furniture. The dresser was $52 at Salvation Army, a table with 4 chairs was from a garage sale for $45 as was a cute tiny antique desk for $60, odds and ends $20. That is $177 so far and I am almost done. I am painting the chairs and table because the dark yellow is not my style. I will post the new pics this weekend when I finish painting and hanging some pictures.

Also i will begin working on a commission piece that is long overdue, Alice in Wonderland.

If I finish it in time(xfingers crossedx, Feb 24)it will be a miracle because i am still gathering supplies! I will post the progress pics when I begin after Valentines Day.

My best to all-Rosanna Pereyra
