My new Furbaby

Hi, I am so excited to show off my new little furbaby. 
She is 12 weeks old, and her name is Scat.

I have her in my dolly room til she is
out of quarantine.  I adopted her from an adoption
event held at a local pet store. 

This was her last time out from the shelter till
she was to be put down, in about 3 weeks. 
She has the regular shelter maladies...
ear mites...probably worms...and a little runny eye,
but all of these things can be taken care of.

She is so sweet and she loves the baby crib....normally
my animals aren't allowed in or around the baby room,
but I made an exception for her, at least till we socialize
her with my other cat...who is not all that happy with
me right now...lol

When I left the store I was happy and yet
depressed  at the same time...
I wish I could save all the animals....

Reborn Art Cards ( ACEO's)

ACEO stands for Art Card Editions and Originals. The size of an ACEO is always 2.5" by 3.5". They are created in a variety of medias and are highly collectible Tiny Works of Art.

Reborn Art Cards are created on special paper, and are taken through several steps to acheive different finishes. 

These  Art Cards are created to celebrate the realism of these beautiful Art Dolls.

Some of the cards are cropped larger to show detail, but all cards are the measurements above.

These special cards are computer generated.  They are signed on the back with edition number, name of sculpt, and origin.

These cards are so fun to make! I have started enclosing these cards in with the Reborns that I sell.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!!

Finally she's Done

Well here she is...making her Halloween Debut...

Please welcome Mary Goth...She is about 22 " all fabric.  She has a hand-painted
face and hands.  She has Human Hair.  All of her costume was designed and created by me...
Her clothes are not removable.  She isn't weighted so as not to put any pressure on her
jointed body.

She was bratty at times during her creation and gave me many problems...
She spent many a day in time-out...but finally she agreed to cooperate and the rest is history.

I'm not sure if I am going to sell her or not...she truly is One-of-a-Kind,

Going "Goth"

What a great time to go Goth...lol  It's getting close to that fun time of year,
when young and old get a little crazy.
I think the time is right to bring back my Mary and Friends line of cloth Dolls.
I copyrighted the pattern way  back in 1994, and somehow got busy doing other
fun things and the line got put on the back burner.

These are some WIPs. I still have to work on the face distortion. 

This is Mary and she will be 19 or 20 inches tall.  I am making her clothing patterns
now.  She and all of her friends will be free standing. She and her friends will be going
to the doll show with me next month.

Little "Bella" on eBay now

Here she is.. OOAK Bella...4" bonus Bundle Baby

• Sneak Peek • New Line of Bundle Babies

Hi everybody!!

This is my new line of Bundle Babies that I have been working on for a while...seems like
life just gets in the way sometimes...lol
I just love these babies because they are so versatile.
The average size of my babies will be around 4 inches, and always very posable.

This is 4" Adele and she will be available on eBay this evening.  I still haven't decided
how long her auction will be.  Sometimes I think 7 days is too long and people lose interest.
So I will have to decide when the time comes.

Well wish her luck and thanks for stopping by!!

Wordless Wednesday

I have the bug.....

I have the BJD bug...I am going to make my first Ball Jointed Doll.
Right now I am just gathering information, drawing rough drafts and gathering supplies.
I plan on making her out of Air Dry clay...not sure which one yet.
The you Tube Video is so neat...be sure you watch it!!

The beginnings of a new cloth baby

This is how it all starts...a face, a drawing, an idea...
I begin by drawing and painting a face.   Sometimes the face works out and sometimes it doesn't.
This time luckily I am very satisfied with the results.

I plan on making this a 12" baby.  I have already designed the pattern...in fact the pattern was designed about
10 years ago, and I simply enlarge or reduce as desired.

I hope the rest of the doll goes smoothly...I hate snags...lol

Well off to the sewing machine!!

Ultimate Dog Tease

Meg

This is my newest Reborn Meg...I just finished her for a doll show that I attended.   She has painted hair and spit bubbles. She was so much fun to create...

Could it be????

I caught my little Harvey looking out the window and I could have sworn I heard him say..."Could it Be...is it really spring out there now??? He is a totally inside cat so the only way he can celebrate spring is to look out the window...

Have I ever told you.......?

I love to make Bears...every size and shape.
The bear pictured is a 2 1/2 inch Bellydancer named "Little Ruhama".

She was featured in Teddy Bear and Friends.

I had to stop for a while because my hands were giving out.

 If you would like to see a lot more of my bears go to the stand alone pages at the top of my blog.
