Nutcracker for Christmas

Drew likes nutcrackers so I made him one for Christmas...Merry Christmas Drew. I know you will especially like his sword!!

The Raven

Our Dolling Dames club recently had Cindee Moyer teach The Raven, and we all enjoyed her 2 day class very much at the Hardesty Library. We made the sparkly mask which you can barely see in the right bottom of the picture. We all finished and you can see everyone's raven doll soon on the Dolling Dames site.

Izannah Walker Insired

Snow Queen

Pride of Oklahoma & Grandpa & Grandma

Here are pictures of Malory and Malory's doll I made of her as a flutest in uniform with the Pride of Broken Arrow band....
The band is fantastic as is our now 16 year old granddaughter. She now has her license to drive and a "new" car.....wow, where does time go....She is a lovely girl inside and out.

Face Drawing Class

Jayne gave us a wonderful face drawing class yesterday at Cotton Patch..this is my project from the class. I think taking a picture can show where the highlighting might need some work......

Back to Business

After a month of recuperation from total knee replacement, I am slowly getting my desire to work on dolls again...my strengh just needs to come back now.....I made the body of this doll from Barbara Schoenoff, Pad de Deux body .....I love that pattern, especially the face..I had the doll body, undergarments already made for the Hoffman challenge and decided to go with a different doll for that challenge. I had this gorgeous table runner I had bought at an estate sale so the gown is made from from the velvet like material of the table runner. The runner had a woven gold thread brocade trim which was beautiful as well so that became the trim for the doll.

Technicolor challenge

This sassy little lady wanted a hat, what's next a purse, an umbrella!!!.........she does have a mind of her own...This is the Le Femme doll body pattern by Arley Berryhill. Pink and Black challenge.

Queen Elizabeth

I made these 3 stump dolls back in 2008....They are a favorite and thought you might like to see them again...One of them was the Anne pattern probably the smaller one......

I am Finished!!

Getting a total knee replacement June 30th so am glad to have my Hoffman doll finished....! I have tried to cover the fan with modpodge to strenghten it....hope it works, since hopefully it will travel.

Hoffman Doll 2010

I am almost finished with the Hoffman Challenge Doll for 2010. I will probably make a few more changes...This is a Leslie Molen workshop doll from NIADA last year.....She has plastic insert eyes and her head is skinned....She has cloisonne buttons. She has horsehair braids.

A Start on Hoffman Challenge

It's time to start working on the Hoffman Challenge for this year.....It has been difficult getting started, I'm not exactly brimming over with ideas. So far I have rejected several....For now I'm putting my last year's entry and he is still traveling with the ladies.....Here is Morris....I will be glad to see him again....

Angela Jarecki Workshop Fairy

Finished! Enjoyed making this fairy very much....

The Gentleman

The Gentleman is a club challenge. We were to use a particular fabric (Ruffled shoulder coat decoration around jacket sleeve). His walking stick has an ivory colored frog on the top of the stick. I made a mold of the frog and cast it. A new learning experience.!
