Belladonna would probably be a good name~

I've been watching Jim Henson's Fraggle Rock - one of my all time faaavorite shows ever. I can still remember the songs ~ and all sorts of strange little details. I've loved every episode... So much silly wonderful adventure in each wonderful little tale - I feel as if I couldn't get enough of Fraggle Rock! But five seasons is more than I expected to have the pleasure of watching... and I can always make up my own when it is all said and done, right? I'm just silly enough to do just that ^^"

Side note: I hate Fimo!! Why do I ever start working with it!? These two are a last two dolls I will make in Fimo... please don't let me try again! >< such a waste of my time!! But - ugg! it does look and feel so nice when you're done - even the weight of it is lovely.

I'm making a Dryad at the moment - and I WILL finish her - even if it takes another week of Fimo based battle!!

Stopped in a store that sold items other than bread, milk and butter and discovered that Autumn shall be here soon (why else would the store be covered with faux fall leaves? I think I imagined an extra 2 summer months or something - as the end of Summer is so clearly fast approaching.

Still - there is a bit left... so I'd best make sure to enjoy it! Though it melts my Sculpey before I touch it and doesn't seem to be helping me out with the Fimo all that much.

I am excited for Autumn though! Should I start Halloween dolls already? At the rate I've been making things - I might just have one done in time for the holidays!

much love~

Back to work - jiggity jig~

I now need to make an armies worth of these little creatures and characters and get them up on Etsy and take them out into the world - If I don't share these little guys with someone I think I shall fall into the category of: Mad Doll Maker - that.... is a title right? Lots of plans and random bits of hope floating about.

My awesome Dad picked me up some wool roving the other day of such lovely colors that I can not wait to use it... just have to finish up a doll today and then I can get to some little ladies who will have red and purple hair! Darn projects running in to one another. ;) I seem to always want to work on the NEXT project.

That said - I am very happy with how these two dolls turned out - I wanted more expression and color... I think I also wanted them to look 'wild - worn - and wonderful' but I always end up giving them hems and stain-free clothes! Maybe a few more dolls in and I'll be able to get to those three W's.

Have I mentioned my desire to add masks into the world of my doll making? But - I also intended to get wings in as well - and what of my doll pairs!? Goodness - so much to do... I need more deadlines!

Back I go to work on a fuzzy Muppet-ish goblin creature... 'till next time!

A Move - a Studio - and setting it all up!

Greetings, friends!

Been a little extra sluggish due to a move and much of my art supplies being in another state - but I have my first studio space!! Okay - its a bed room in the new apartment - but the idea is still lovely. I'm setting it up and getting ready to get back to work!! New creations soon!

See you then ^^

Fauns - Fellowship + Forgotten Fridays

My plan of updating every friday seems to be falling by the way-side.... as is my work schedule. I'm not getting as much done as I could hope/like/wish/dream/plan. Though there is little reason to whine about such things - the only thing there is to be done is to work harder!

Life continues here - each day filled with the endless sound of passing cars and the cold winds off the lake. I don't know why people say this is the best city to live in... I have found nothing here but dirt and sameness - I must have missed something... I shall go out and hunt for it soon.

'till then - I'll be here - sketching fauns.

See you again soon!

Sunshine and Spreading Chaos

Gonna have to go with an 'image update' - happy with the creations - want to start those bright colorful characters I've been meaning to make - AND then I want to work on more 'Eden-like' creatures.. you know, masks and horns and semi-creepy-strange-cuteness.
