new Dolls!

Have been busy producing a few new dolls for our Show stall for sale. Thought you all might like to see some pictures of them. These are with Living Doll Sculpy clay. It is fantastic to work with. Love it. All of these dolls are between 6-8 inches tall. I am having fun exploring Steampunk so you will see a couple of these!

6th of the 6th Tag

Hi Wilma and everyone, Wilma challenged me to load my 6th photo from my 6th folder to share. I actually had to cheat a little bit as the 6th of the 6th was already on my blog! ha. So I picked the next one. This little person is called "Reaching for the Stars". My original idea was to create a doll that had an uplifting theme, plus I wanted to attach the doll to a large metal ring and make it pleasing and fun to look at. I also wanted it to be hangable to display. All are a challenge when working with fabric, wire and fiber fill. That is if you want it to look natural and really sitting and holding on to a ring. being fully wired made all that happen. I am very pleased with the results and only had it a couple of weeks when I took it to my workplace to share with my work mates. One just said to me, how much would you sell one like that for. I gave her a price thinking she was just interested but not serious. She said I would like to buy that. I just smiled and said thanks not thinking she was serious as I told her it was going to be in a show in Sydney the next week. About 2 weeks later she asked when I was bringing her the doll and how had I done? I nearly fell over realising at that point she was serious about buying Reaching for Stars". I did win a First Place for the doll as well. So now I only have a picture and ribbon and my workmate has this doll hanging in her bedroom. Thank you Chris for buying Reaching for the Stars!
