Studio for Lambo Art

I am going to add some photographs here of our studio. It will show us in full swing and mess! There is always heaps of stuff sitting around. You need that in order to have a good selection of items to choose from to create your master piece. So come back soon and look at pictures of our studio in the works. It is a 6 metre square colourbond shed that we lined with gyprock, insulation, paint and fabric. We put in an Airconditioner that also heats so we can keep the climate reasonable and confortable. We even have running water! A novelity for me, only twice in more than 10 different studios over 30 years I have had the luxury of having running water. We also put sliding glass doors and windows where the roller doors were. It is quite cozy and we spend many weekends just creating in the studio. Now we need a shed just to store our staff of craft supplies and goodies. Hope you enjoy the look.

Finally I have some pictures of the finished Sybil & Frances dolls. I discribed the theme in an earlier post. So have a look back. I plan so new pictures of the dogs and studio as well. So hang in there. for new stuff. Thanks for having a look! Please leave me a note if you have time. Bobbi

our pets that rule the house!

Wanted to share our pets with everyone so you can see who rules our house and the neighbourhood. They keep track of all the kids that walk by the house to school and all the comings and goings of every passerbyer.
Sasha, Harvey and Murtle are Papillions and all have won ribbons and Challenge points at the shows. Sasha is the mother of Harvey &Murtle and is 3 years old. Harvey and Murtle are just 12 months but only about 8 weeks in this picture. Bella is a Poodle cross Papillion, a Pap-a-doodle we like to call her. She is quiet one and the one always ready to move in on food bowls left unattended. Bella is nearly 6 years old!

all those pictures

I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures I posted. I am still learning how to arrange and put captions so bear with me. Let us know what you think! Thanks for looking!

Sybil and Frances Market Days

These dolls have been in the works for several months. Since I work full time I don't have great amounts of time to work on them. But also I need time to think about what I want them to become. I don't completely design or plan out my dolls in advance. They kind of just evolve as I work on them. I have a concept and then build on it as I look at them. I hope you enjoy Sybil and her hen picked husband Frances. I was thinking Middle Earth, or Middle Ages, elves and whimiscal characters! Iam sure you will agree when you look at them.

They are completely hand made using polymer clay for head, hands and feet, glass eyes. I make all the clothing and accessories. The horn and eye glasses are purchased! Beads, buttons etc as well. But clothing hats, shoes are all original. They stand around 18 inches tall. If you have questions please email me. They are for sale so if your interested let me know. They are one off originals!
I will add pictures very soon! I promise. Just as soon as I figure out how!
