Steampunk doll

Here is my interpretation of Anneal, Steampunk doll we made in class with Barbara Schoenoff last week-end. Can't wait to see what variety we will see of this doll from all the dollmakers who were there. I didn't even know what a steampunk doll was but think I produced a good example.

NIADA workshop 2011 Denver

Enjoyed Deborah Pope's wet felting class and enjoyed the talented students who took the class. There were very nice animal heads created...I learned the technique and my cat head was not up to my standards but now I will try to make another one at home and maybe even a rabbit head. Deborah's felting art would be a better investment than the stock market. She is published all over the place and recently even went to Russia to teach.

Cindee Moyer, Street Fair

This was really an interesting class from Adele S. site. It is called Street Fair and has different technique for hair, head, Ballon. It took me some time to get hair that I liked and finally settled for the peacock green. Never again tho' this color since it looked like grass! Thus, the hat to overcome that look....Cindee's dolls are fabulous I think and she does so many different things with this basic looking doll.

Street Scene Cindee Moyer

I love Cindee's dolls. Something new all the time. I will do the legs differently next time however. I will make an opening in the thigh to stuff through unstead fo the foot. I think Cindee is a genius with simple tricks. Her dolls are well designed and easily made. This is an online class Stree Scene thru Adele's site.

Antique picture for restoration

I'm getting this antique oil painting restored. I have had it for years (bought at an estate sale) It is way over a hundred years old and signed (can't however make out who the artist is) but it is sooo cute.
