Historical baby dolls

Ive been tinkering around with some dolls made to look vintage. I had found some pretty vintage material and that is what made me want to do a few of these. Sometimes it takes finding fabric to give me a spark to create something.



This one I really liked how she turned out. She is so sweet. I did not sculpt legs on her and just left her bundled in a long bunting gown. However, I think the next one I will do legs and still make them with a long gown. This one has poseable arms.




I am also doing more Izannah dolls because I have gotten requests for these. They really are a joy to work on. Something about this time of year makes me want to work more with fabrics, sewing, and stuffing doll body parts. So I dug out all my Izannah goodies and trying to get a few of these done.

With holidays here its a little busy so my time to create may be limited until after the new year.

Hoping everyone has wonderful and safe holiday season.

Christmas Morning Babies

I cannot believe its December already. I am a little late in getting my holiday pieces done. But hurry up.....because I managed to get these two cuties done over this weekend and they are in my shop right now!

These are my 'Christmas Morning' babies. I am going to do a couple more for all those last minute gift shoppers!

I have listed them in my Etsy, come see these adorable little bundles! The jingle bells adorned on this little outfits are so cute! You can even attach a ribbon to them for ornaments on your tree.

I have one that is sleeping and another with open eyes. Only the heads are sculpted and the bodies are soft stuffing over armature. They are bundled in my own hand dyed fabrics. Adorned with lots of sparkly fibers and ribbons.

Dead Fairy "Zelda"

Oh my, she is a creepy one. The ice blue on her, makes her feel bone chilling cold and creepy!

She is up to no good this one. Do not leave her in a dark room alone. She is sure to cause trouble. With the spooky season nearing she is anxious and ready to cause a whole lot of mischief!



She is sculpted of air dry clay, sanded, and then costumed perfectly for the spooky season.



Her hair is 2nd grade mohair which makes her hairdo all the more spooky! Nice and wooly with tight little curls.



Come visit her in my Etsy shop.

"Moana" Dead Fairy Spooky Dark Art

I have just completed another spooky doll; a Dead Fairy. She is named Moana. Oh boy does she ever moan! Shrieking, agonizing moans. Perfect for the spooky season!

She is sculpted of air dry paper clay. Sanded, painted and then outfitted with silk fabric, ghoulish mohair and fabulous spooky wings!




Look for more of these fatally lovely ladies. I have a few more ideas in my mind for them and each one gets little bit more elaborate. I wanted them to be simple, however, there is so much spooky ghoulish stuff to add to these sexy gals!



I am getting anxious for the spooky season and so are these girls!

Dead Fairies

Well, it is almost that time of year for spooky things all around. I have been motivated to try something different. I love the fairy genre of art. Only these are not sweet and soft fairies..... they are spooky and sinister!



They are sneaky little ladies capable of intense mischief. Do not leave them alone in a dark room! Halloween is when they come alive! I would not trust these little ladies at all. HA!



I am going to be doing a few more of these lovely and creepy ladies! I think they are kinda sexy for the dead look!



These two will be up for sale in a a local shop near me. I will try to put some in my Etsy Shop as well. Depending on how fast I can get busy. But these gals have me energized! Especially for the spooky season ahead!

These are air dry clay sculptures entirely sculpted by hand.

OOAK baby Anna

Baby Anna is now in my Etsy Shop. I decided to do a human baby this time. No wings, no pointy ears.



She is swaddled in hand dyed fabrics and wrapped in beautiful fibers. She comes with her cradle. I will probably do a few more human babies before getting back to the fantasy genre.



Hopefully she will find a new home soon!

Norah Baby Fairy

Wow. I have just been inundated this summer with life stuff. Took a two week vacation, got the case of the lazies too for little while. I was left with little time to be at my art table. However, I am finally winding down with life's tasks so that I can dedicate some time to my art again.

I needed a swift kick in the can to get me back my art table!

The last couple weeks I have spent working on this little one. These red hair fairies are just so majestic. I am low on red hair supplies but think I can get a few more fairies done with what is left.

This red haired blue eyed beauty is seated on a grassy mound accented with flowers. This little one has totally motivated me to do perhaps a series of fairies this size. She is about 4-5 inches. Her age is approximately 3 years old.





Hope everyone is doing well! Hope to get back to my blog more regularly as well. Geesh, sometimes I think I need to move my studio to a deserted island. I would get so much art done there. Ahhh....I can dream can't I?
