Little Baby going Bye Bye

This little dolly is less than 8 inches long. I created the pattern using an antique lithograph doll. The original is very large. This one came out quite nicely and has a new mommy that it is going home to.

Getting Things Done

I have finally had a chance to sit down and finish some projects that have been on the table waiting around. I finally finished and dressed the little Baseball head doll that a friend of mine started almost 20 years. I 'reborned' it by adding more stuffing, add soft sculpting and painting the face. Giving more details to the fingers and finally hair and dressing. I think she came out rather cute.

I have a few more projects that need finishing as well. Hopefully I will get those done.

I just checked out Anniebeez blog and she has some beautiful dolls she has made.

I love looking at other people's creations. I get so inspired.

I have been directing our church's Vacation Bible School all week and every day I come home so tired but wanting to work on a doll myself. I have a few that need to be finished and go to new homes and I don't even have the energy to do that.

I worked all last week on the costume for the Bible School Assembly Program. It is a huge Squid. It turned out almost 7" tall. His name is Ralph and the kids love him. All but one, who is terribly afraid of anything in a costume after having the wits scared out of her last Halloween.

Maybe soon I will be able to post more dolls.

Annie Beez Folk Art: Drawing for doll goodies

I have been longing to make a new doll. I have so many I want to do but still can't work on any. I have almost finished the helper doll for my doll club to take to UFDC convention for the auction. I love Dolly Dingle and this is my second one from a vintage pattern. I decided to make her like Little Red Riding Hood from a vintage postcard that had Dolly Dingle cutouts with Grandmother and the Wolf. I hate to see her go. But I can't keep them all.

I have been busy. I am also a musician and one of the projects I am working on is a CD for musicians to learn old time tunes. I am having to sell some of my dolls in order to fund the project so if you are interested in any of my dolls email me.

I made my first doll quilts. They were not too difficult and I learned a lot. The next ones will be better. I am posting a picture of one of the quilts hanging on the back of a bench with my little Izzanah Walker style doll.
I am hoping to start a dolls for sale folder at my picturetrail site. Be sure and check it out.
