Long time no post.

This week I went to classes with Elinor Peace Bailey. I took "The Doll as Messenger" class then there was a potluck and discussion about dolls. That was on Monday. On Tuesday I went to her class about making flat dolls. We made them out of paper and then with fabric that was fused to heavy interfacing. That class flew by. She gave me some great ideas to include some paper dolls in my next zine and discuss what I learned in her class.

So now I am bursting with ideas beacause I am also taking Suzi Blu's Les Petite Dolls workshop. She is awesome. I'll post picures in another post.

Finally! Here are some photos of my balloon.

Here are some pictures of my balloon. I am very happy with it. Thank you to Du Bu Duh Designs for your advice and encouraging comments.

I will try to post more in a few days. I am getting over a head cold. Blah.

Candace step by step

This is Candace. She is a bendi doll that I have altered ever so slightly. Her hair is made of feathers. I painted on her underwear, bra, socks and shoes. Then I became obsessed with making her pants

just right. I made a pattern from paper towel. It's flexible like fabric but you can trim it and not worry about messing up on your fabric. Anyway, I am very happy with her outfit. Her scarf is made with scrim fabric. It has a cool woven effect that is good for the dolls scale. I now have her on her stand. I really like her. My daughter doesn't want me to post her on my etsy shop. What a nice compliment, but I think I will anyway because that is why I make these dolls. So I can sell them and share my work.
