Hands & Feet

Today I will be in the studio sculpting hands and feet for these new little dolls. I usually don't work on more than one or two dolls at a time but with these I thought it might be nice to have a uniform look to a point and then give them their own little flare of personality through their outfits at the end. I would like for this collection of dolls to be a little more child friendly. It would be nice for children to be able to play with them and hold them where as with the tea cup dolls, they are much more delicate and for decorative use only. I'm still brain storming about all the other details. I'm thinking about using different textures of wool for their hair and I may be spending my afternoon looking for fun fabrics to use for their outfits. I always seem to get carried away with the details which end up being very time consuming (like beading into the fabrics etc...) but I would be very glad to find a way to keep the labor and cost of this collection down so they can be more affordable and desirable for gifts.

These are little Valentines Mice made out of little white stones. I stuck felt hearts on them and then embelished them with bows and eyes. This is a fun Valentines Day craft for my daughter's second grade class!

India

Meet India, she is such a treasure! I made from a tea cup I brought back from India last year. She sits 6 1/2 inches tall. The base she sits on is a beautiful square plate I found in Crate & Barrel that matched the tea cup perfectly. India has been embellished with fabrics I also brought back with me. Her hair is a combination of wool and acrylic fibers and she is jeweled with brass accents. India has henna patterns on the souls of her feet and around the tops of her arms and sits in this peaceful position as she meditates. She's waiting to sit in your home and bring you peace.

Art Doll Mable

Art Doll Mable
Meet Mable, she's trying her best to keep her skin glowing. She believes in nourishing her body from the inside out but once a week a good facial mask and cucumbers on her eyes make all the difference in the world. She stand 8 inches tall and would love to sit on the side of your tub or on your dresser. She could spend hours in the bathroom! * Mable is an original one of a kind decorative Art Doll and not meant to be played with as a toy.
