Jeepers! I forgot the Doll!

Just getting a wee bit excited about my upcoming day and forgot the picture of my latest doll. She's the second in my limited edition of Moli Dolls. Her name is Tamarlyn and she's a goth hippie with an attitude. She's also on my Etsy shop. I'm getting more work on there. Slowly but surely.

I just love her belly button bead. And her mole. Don't mess with her.  Okay, I'm going now. My stomach is growling.

Happy February

It's here. Didn't we just celebrate Thanksgiving? February 1. Today. I feel my life has been put on speed dial. Oh well. I either go with the wave or sink. I think I'll try surfing. Still working on keeping emotions in check. I tell you, when you get sick, it just makes you feel so bad. Not just physically but mentally. You try not to feel like a baby and just suck it up. But when the body hurts and you know you have so much to do, the mind hurts. And when the mind hurts to the point of affecting your creative being, your soul hurts. When you're all better, the doubts return of whether or not you're any good.

No matter how far behind you are, you get up, dust yourself off, and get back on the creative saddle. I tried horseback riding once. It was fun. Getting off the beast was another story. But still a fun experience and I would probably try it again. So, here we go. This is what I started last night. I'm not really into making big dolls but these may turn out to be fun.

The little flap you see is going to form a bottom so they can sit better. Once filled with some pellets and stuffed to within an inch of their lives. Ha! I love it. They will be primitive doll types. Loosely based on some dolls I've seen made by slaves. They will have button eyes, a fabric nose, and embroidered mouth. I'm waiting for my Distress It to come in the mail and see what I can do with it on these dolls and one more that's in the works.

I like the shape of the legs. I may make some goth ones later and have the legs made out of a patterned fabric. We shall see.

Works on Progress

I'm working. I'm working. I just had to show you.

The jar contains the antique buttons I got for Christmas. I love them.

 Here are more prim dollies.  Most will be dressed for Easter and some will be goth like.

This trio are a new pattern. One will be for the Delta show and the other two will be voodoo/zombies. I think you can tell which will be which. I will make their clothes but I will be ordering a distressing concoction from a quilting site online. I can't wait to get that stuff. It's awesome.

A Lot of Work in Progress

All righty then. I had a wonderful birthday month, having celebrated all month, saw some cool people and other amazing things. Now it's back to work. Creative work that is. That's the only kind right? And I'm sure you're ready to see some more work from me. So here we go!

Wandi Mermaids are in the works. I now have their eyes painted and will make their bikini tops. Then I will bead the heck on them. I can't wait to get their hair on. I'll take a pic of the beads when I open them. They are so yummy.

More voodoo doll pin minions. I do feel like a mad scientist at times.

These gals have bodies made of tea dyed fabric. That's about as good as I can get with the dyeing. It can be messy, dyeing, and I'm not that coordinated to do it on a large scale. I do appreciate and admire those who do it well.

These ladies are new. Same pattern as the first voodoo doll pins but are dressed in black and white because they will be my Goth voodoo doll pins. All of them will have red hearts and more paint. I have to give them hair and the Goth ones will have beads.

The remaining pics are the backgrounds of future postcards. The 2 above will be sea like. And the other 2 will be abstract in design.

More Minions

I thought my voodoo doll pins were just the cutest so I'm making more. Soon I'll have an army. Bwahhahaha!

The ones with the striped legs are the last of the voodoo dolls and the light ones are going to be goth voodoo dolls. Black, white, and red. I have so many wicked ideas floating through my head. The first group were fun to do, this group, oh my!  So stay tuned.
