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!

Art Dolls with Living Doll clay

I have been exploring using the Sculpy Living Doll clay. I love it! It stays firm while you work with it, and it's not as easy to change the shape. I love the way it bakes, and the fact you can super cure it which makes it even stronger. It is so forgiving and easy to do fine details.
If your sculpting in Super Sculpy please consider trying Living Doll. Also check out Mark Dennis' blog. Madsculptor! He is a wealth of knowledge!! I read every post he made last year and so far this year as well. I will be checking every day for new words of wisdom!

I hope you enjoy my new pieces please leave a comment if you have a look! thanks for viewing!
Watch out for a new page on the Time Explorer, this is a mixed media paper mache piece I am working on. Picture soon to come!

Happy 2011 filled with lots of creating!

Hi, sorry I have been so busy since last posting here. I have been creating lots of new dolls and sculptures which I will shortly be posting new pictures of. We survived Christmas and the multitude of markets with good sales and lots of travelling. Now we are market/show free until March when we will be showing at a doll and bear show in Blacktown. I will gather the dates and location in case any of you are near and want to stop by and say hello!
By the way, the Opera Singer pictured below won Best Original Doll at the Northern Districts Doll and Bear Show! More creations soon will be posted here. Hope everyone is creating fantastic things and looking forward to a great New Year! Cheers Bobbi and Jane

Weekly Markets until Christmas

Hi there, just letting everyone know we will be at the Newcastle Farmers Markets at the Entertainment Centre Broadmeadow almost every Sunday between now and Christmas! Below are a couple dates we won't be there but somewhere else. We won't be there if it is raining!!! But we hope you all will have time to stop in and see our wares. Lots of new things in the stall for embellishing your dolls or quilts!! Plus lots of new things that Jane and I have made for gifts. Vintage Christmas cards and great little handmade dolls and Santa's. Our stall is now along the entrance road of the market. We have an outdoor canopy now. If you are familar with the markets we took over the pizza man's space. It is a great location. Hope to see you all out supporting our local artists and farmers!

Hi everyone, just letting you know we will have our stall at the Mittagong Doll and Bear Show the 21st of November. We will also be at the Braidwood Quilt Show in Braidwood on the following weekend on the 27th. We hope will see you there!

New Creations

Well where does the time go! I have been very busy in the studio producing for our Christmas fairs, plus just out there doing the fairs. But thought I would share with you all some of my newest creations. These dolls are polymer clay attached to wire armature. I created the accessories/embellishments, all except the butter fly on Mr. Sleepy. I hope you enjoy. None of these dolls is over 9 inches in height. The birdcage is about 20 inches tall. I made the cage by wrapping wire with copper tape. Effective but I will have many scars on my fingers from cuts of the tape. Next time I will wear gloves!! Check out the additional page on Hey Birdie Birdie below in the blog on the right handside.

Old Man Time

I have been busy again just finishing this little doll I call Old Man Time. He is 38cm tall and is fully wired. He can have his pose changed. He has semi-precious stones, leather, various fabrics, angelina fibers, metal embelishments, watch parts just to name a few things included in his costume. We hope you enjoy viewing Old Man Time. I sure enjoyed creating him. He will be exhibited in the Maitland Society of Artists Members Show 13th of August in Maitland and will be a part of my exhibit in the upcoming Liverpool Doll and Bear Show 24th & 25th of July. Please leave a comment if you have time. And if you have questions or are interested in purchasing Old Man Time, please contact us oliverlambert08@gmail.com Thanks for visiting our blog.

Hi there, I just couldn't wait to share my newest doll with everyone. I call him the Bead Beggar. Hand sculpted polymer clay face, completely wired soft doll body. He is easily posed and has a bag full of beads that he is collecting I hope you enjoy the pictures. I plan so show him in the Newcastle Charity Doll Show so he won't be available for sale until after the first weekend in October 2010. If your interested in him drop me a line. He stands if he was standing about 7-8 inches tall. He has glass eyes and wired fabric hands. There is a mixture of fabrics, leather and metal embellishments. I hope you enjoy him.

Dolls have found new homes and families

A couple of weeks ago Jane and I were at the Farmers Market and we had our stall up selling our wares. Pictures of that stall set up are the most recent ones here on the blog in earlier posts. We have sold 3 dolls at the market recently, Orange Pudding, Purple Haze, and Blue Socks all picked new families to go to. They will be very missed in our family! But we are very happy they have new homes where they are loved! (:))
We are thrilled and inspired to keep producing by selling our dolls. These are all original dolls from my own pattern called Poppy and Penny! If you interested in a copy of the pattern email me at oliverlambert08@gmail.com . I will send it to you via email for $18.00. Hope you enjoy looking as much as we do producing our wares! We have Pay Pal and you can make a direct deposit. thanks for looking.

Christmas Craft Stall

Finally our ISP has allowed us to load pictures. One of the prices we pay for living in Paradise is a slow connection! I have attached a bunch of pictures here of our most recent stall at the Fine Food and Craft Market held in Newcastle. We will be back at the show every Sunday in December. Next Friday we are off to the USA for a visit to see friends and family. I can't wait! We will be in AZ with our friends Sharon and Val both are crafters in a big way! They are taking us to a huge craft show while we are there next Saturday. I am so excited. We will also spend some time in Lakeport, California my ole stomping ground visiting friends. We will fly then to Oklahoma to spend Thanksgiving with my family. I hope we are going to take a drive to the Ozarks to check out the crafts for a couple of days there. Anyway, hope you all enjoy the pictures of our stall. I sold 3 large dolls and 8 small ones in the recent market. It is all very modivating to keep working! See you all when we return. I will try to update along the way. We have a house sitter looking after our puppies! That is the hardest thing to leave behind.

Merry Marbles

Hi everyone I am so slack about writing here. But I have finished some little cute gems from a pattern by Michelle Munzone called Merry Maubles. It is an easy pattern and very cute. I have added my bit of flair and made polymer clay faces to mine! I have a couple pictures here. But will take some more soon. Hope you enjoy. You can purchase a pattern from Michelle online at http://www.mmunzonedesigns.com/index.html I am sure she won't mind me giving her website a plug! We have been busy creating and showing at the Newcastle Fine Food and Crafts markets. We are going to the USA in 3 weeks and then when we return we will be at the markets several times before Christmas. Hope we see you there. The market is at the Entertainment Centre if you wonder where! We will be there on the 1st of Nov, 6th of Dec, then every Sunday after that til Christmas!! Wish us luck. I will post some pictures of our stall after the next show.
Hope you enjoy.

Newcastle Charity Doll Show

Hi, well we have been very busy and slack at adding things to the blog. But this last weekend was exciting and worth a mention. We had a stall at the Newcastle Charity Doll and Bear Show. I also entered some dolls in the competition and won Best Original doll for "Blue Skies Forever 2". I was thrilled! We also had good sales in our stall. Wilma Simmons joined us for the day and brought bead work, dolls, vintage bits and pieces, felting and many other wonderful items to enhance our stall. We had a great day chatting up a storm about all the great projects and plans we have. Sharing ideas and working out problems together. I am going to try and load a slide show of our stall for you all to see. So have a look and let us know what you think!. Thanks Wilma for all your help on Friday setting up and all day Saturday!
