Baba Yaga Revisited

This Baba Yaga is a far more gentle soul than my last one, to be sure. 

This one is less a child eater and more of a forrest guardian.

She is made of spun cotton, paperclay and wool. 

Hope you like her!

Many thanks for popping by.

Until next time, happy spinning!

Hallelujah! I'm Back!

What a tribulation!  I have had a "somewhat" working computer for months, which means I could post items to some sites, but was unable to access others.  Very odd, no?  At times, I was able to load new bits to my etsy site, other times not.  The one constant was that I was not able to get into my blogger postings.  Distressing!

But my new and well working computer has fixed the problem and I am back.   I feel as though it will take me months to catch up with everyone and what has been going on in your lives.  Glad to be back, especially in October, when so many artists are making fantastic dolls/gee-gaws/ornies to post.  I can't wait to see everything!

Just to have something to share, here is a 5 inch doll that is composite over cloth with an encaustic finish.  Odd, huh?  Sometimes I don't understand myself!

Until next time, many happy returns!

Just to See if I Could

I made some embroidery portraits of my sons.

It's nice to try new things....just because.

Thanks for popping in to take a peek. I feel like I learned a lot!

Until next time, happy exploration!

New Felt for Fall

I tried blending some needle felting with some lovely old woolen fabrics to create this pumpkin lady and her baby.

She is wired for 'poseability'.

She still needs a little tidying up, but should be done and ready for sale by tonight.

Until next time, happy felting!

Home again, home again...

...and I FINALLY have something new to post.

I made this little kitty for my husband's auntie; a pocket sized memory of her own cat.



She has her own tiny mouse and a green ball.

This is her back view. She is a pudgster...just like the real one!

I have been absent for a bit. I have been making many things, but haven't had the time to take great photos and post them.

This shot was taken as we were getting ready to go to the plane, so I didn't have too much time to worry about background and lighting and such.

Maybe I would be better off not fretting too much about the photos. I would certainly be able to show more of what I do.

And wait until I show what I found in the antique malls!

Until next time, happy felting!

Break it Up!

Yes, I have been M.I.A.

My real life keeps getting in the way of my artsy life. *sigh*

See? I am constantly having to break up fights. The dolls are picking on the monster again for loving his Peter Rabbit cup. He, in turn, mocks their overly shiny finishes.

Can't we all just get along?

When I am not breaking up fights, I am working on spun cotton. I have a genie, cat, rabbit and bookworm in the works and am sketching ideas for the 4th of July. I'll post pictures soon.

TTFN. Thanks for popping in!

Year of the Rabbit

I've been in a spun cotton bunnies sort of mood. So I thought I'd make a few bunny faces and see what would happen. Well, I got a bit more than I planned for...bunnies everywhere!

Of course, an artist cannot live by bunnies alone, but it is a start.

I am fleshing out a whole line of my spun cotton and paperclay ornies.

I'll be starting with an animal theme.

Preliminary sketches are on paper and the first batch should be rolling out next week.

Glad to be back to the drawing board!

It all feels fresh and fun again! Hooray!

Thanks for dropping in for a visit.

Until next time, happy hopping!
