A Good Day Off

Monday I was off for Columbus Day. My friend came over and we spent a great relaxing day together. We spent the day working on this book. She taught me how to make it and she made one too (the cover anyway). It was alot of fun- we used packing tapes, duck tape and glues. I enjoyed the day - thanks Pam!

my little troll .....

Here is my sweet little troll. I met with friends to work on dolls and I was able to put her together today - I still have to add her tail and add some details to her, but, I couldn't wait to share her. She is too cute for words. I just love her - I am going to make her a dollie to hold - when this is all done - I will post, yet another, photo of her - in a few weeks....
Tomorrow I am taking a mannequin collage class with a crazy fun group of friends. It is an all day affair and we will have a great time and take home a new project. I have been so busy these last few weeks with so much to do and art/dolls to make. I will welcome a boring weekend! hahahaha - you know how it is - all or nothing when it comes to a social life! The best thing is all the great time with friends and family lately - It fills my heart.

My BJD!

I went to the Cleveland Doll Club Luncheon last weekend. It is their big annual event. The theme was Paris. Robert Tonner was there and we each received an Ellowyne Wilde doll that was specially designed just for this club! It was my first experience with this doll world so new to me. It is an addiction I really do not need to acquire. The dolls are beautiful. He presented a fun program and he signed each of our dolls. He has a great sense of humor and appears to really enjoy his life in the doll world. There were several of the Ellowyne Wilde dolls there - all kinds of awesome dolls to drool over. I did also buy this little Marie Osmond doll - I am going to apply to the club and they bring their travel dolls to meetings and events - so this will be my little travel doll. Oh what am I getting myself into?????

How cute is this?????

OMG - what a WONDERFUL class this was. Is this the cutest little person you ever saw??? I am in love with her (yes her). I can't wait to finish her. Ute was a GREAT teacher and the Time For Dolls doll club hosted a wonderful class - yet again.
Hope to finish her in the VERY near future. Too cute.

time for fun!

Well... I shamefully see that I have not used my spell check on the last few posts - whew! Mental head slap - How embarrassing.
Any way - this is what I will be making. I am taking a class with Ute and we are making trolls! Never thought I would be doing that, but I am so excited. I want to make a girl and of course she will be in pink (as my friend would sarcastically say - "imagine that..." hahahaha). Will post the finished little person soon.

paying again

I wasn't feeling the green background with the bright red title anymore. It is cool here and so very cloudy with thick grey clouds all day - So....this is what I put together - sure goes with the goth girl posted earlier tonight...

goth girl

FINALLY finished this one. This is a Kate Erbach pattern. She has 2 versions - a fun colorful girl and a goth girl. OMG this was fun to make. I made her a dollie of her own! - A little "dude with horns". She has Styrofoam cones on her head covered with the fibers. I am really happy with how this turned out. She has quite a presence on the wall which I think is really cool.

I am working on a fat little doll. I have wanted to do a fat doll for a while and she should be done soon. I hope to have it posted later this week...
