A True Labor of Love
I absolutely love this doll!
Back in November I received a request to make one DEADutante doll with a long black gown holding some roses.
Thus began a journey into doll making that I didn't know I was going to embark on, but I'm so happy I did!
Because the doll was to be taller than what I was used to creating, it changed EVERYTHING! All the little details were bigger now, and therefore more noticeable. I had to make everything BETTER.
The arms, the ribcage, and the head all had to grow....and I grew as a doll maker as well.
I must have made 5 different heads before deciding on this one. Either the facial expression was wrong, or the size....but I think the one I settled on was the best choice.
I also put a tiny TINY little heart inside her rib cage. That alone took me a long time to accomplish! (Working with tiny things requires a steady hand!)
Please let me know what you think of my latest creation! :)

Valentine's Day is Coming!

I'm actually trying to get a head start on a holiday for once! Every item I'm putting in the shop has a heart on it somewhere!
Just listed this bird:

I took several pictures of 3 of the bluebirds together....thought they would look cute in a nest looking upwards...
Happy Friday, my friends! Hope all is well!
