A few new Etsy images...

Doll Pair Ideas

I'm sure I'm not the only one in a sea of heat... it makes sketching and sculpting almost impossible with the added humidity... but I managed one page of ideas before the paper began to melt...

I can't wait to start... I loved how Alice and the Gryphon worked out and such a blast with the whole project/event/etc that I just want to keep making these pairs. I'll probably not be able to work for a few days on them... but I have projects... paint related.

Back to work I goooo!

The Gryphon and Alice (of Wonderland)

Thanks so much for allowing me to participate, ADO! I had a wonderful time creating them.
Oh! I also put together a slideshow of more photos of the pair. (and a few 'making of' images) Enjoy!

Ready for more adventures with Alice? <--- click me! (return to the ADO blog)

New Poster time!

Gryphon done! On to Alice...

So I've one Gryphon finished - though the mess was great - it was well worth it (feathers and fur - oh my!). And I think a small Alice to accompany him is totally in order.... and I'll get to use that lace that nice lady at the garage sale last month gave me just for saying 'why yes - I do know who could use this overflowing bag of art supplies - me!' I love free stuff. Thanks, nice lady!

I don't want to post the finished Gryphon until it's time (the 7th... I think) and then it'll be him and the wee little Alice. But here he is mid sculpt... well, he's almost done here... He looks a little like some baddies from a certain movie... But he only has two arms... maybe I'll make one of those later.... OOOooo new project!

Eip! I'm late for a very important date

Just signed up for for a doll creating blog event (see sidebar)! I now I've only have a few days! (dolls must go up on the 8th) But how could I pass up this opportunity? I'd best get to work... but what character(s) to make!? So very many wonderful options.... I'm already thinking: Griffin... but I've always loved the Mock Turtle... I'll have to remind myself not to make one of the more obscure characters - like Cook "More Pepper!!!" I - of course- instantly thought of making the Fish-Footman... Oh! Or March Hare.... of course there's always.... but then there's... and let us not forget....

Fantastic Flier Friday

Updated my site just a little yesterday and scanned up the sketchbook today... a little polish before Nineveh goes up.

I finished my last commission and am now once again at the 'what now' threshold...

I'm thinking advertising - oh! Nothing fancy... but maybe I might have more business if more people knew I existed... <__<' it's just a thought. I can make -just- about anything... or at least attempt it! <-- that's not totally true. I couldn't make a posable Avatar doll, for example. I just wouldn't be happy with it - wouldn't want to sell it.

So - I'm thinking about posting fliers - maybe see if there are any places downtown that might be interested in my work on their walls or in their shops. This is Burlington Vermont after all - I would hope it would be all about the handmade (stuff).

Well - I should get back to work. Hope all is well - see you next week!
