Tiny Team Traveling Doll update!

Oh I am so happy to report, my little doll arrived to Australia well and has been getting prettier. She has a name now: Dimi ♥

 

Wilma gave her an Australian look, I absolutely love the designs and colors! Look at Dimi sitting pretty on a clay pot by a garden: Her skirt is fantastic!

And guess who she met Down Under?? Lulu's doll was arriving to beautiful Australia right when my dolly was getting ready to go!
Hello dear friend!

Video Tutorial

This is a very nice tutorial video AlouaisA aka LoveLingZ


Includes the beginning of armature, eyes and hands sculpting.

Lulu's doll went to Australia

I worked on Lulu's doll and had so much fun!
We tried different hair color of mohair, unfortunately I didn't think of taking pictures. But we settled in a mix of blond and honey.

 

I love the way this next picture turned out! Reminds me of Les Miserables:

 

This is what I made for Lulu's doll: hair!

 ......Lots of it!

It is like 7 or 8 inches long :o)

I had this particular long honey color for along time but never really seemed to find the right doll for it... till now.

So we were taking more pictures and getting ready for her trip to Australia, when we noticed a feline visitor...

photo-bomb! lol  ٩(◠◡◠)۶ ....My crazy cat.

Thanks for visiting and come back again to see what doll visits me next!

Xanthi's doll new face

After a nice brake, Xanthi's doll finally had some work done, first with pencil....

and then paint added to her, and this is her new look, what do you think?

She was all happy, smelling the roses :o)

 

and a last close up:

More photos!

For my traveling doll's mini team, I was thinking on how to add the hair, and how much to add to her....

I thought of giving her some tails but then I decided to just let it fall, and added tons of mohair! The above image is before I cured the clay torso.
I glued the mohair on the doll hair the same way I made the tutorial HERE

Linda is on her way to Australia now... we are starting Spring here, and She will be going to an end of summer weather, she will have fun!

Well, some news!

I had already sent my doll from my team, I was settling down for my other artsy activities when I learned some people had to cancel their traveling team and left 2 doll makers pretty much team-less, and I had been thinking already I would love to be part of 2 teams, like last time.... so I offered to be part of their mini team, and here I am! yaay!
My mini team's members are Lulu's apple in California and Wilma in Australia!

Since things were already rolling I went to my box of unfinished projects and I found the perfect beginning for a cute little doll. You probably have seen her in the eye tutorial.
She has been sitting pretty with only half a head of hair and no body. So, to begin with, she needed a way to attach the head to a body and polymer (or paper clay!) is the solution for crazy problems like this one.

I made this funky looking body part aka torso, out of polymer clay this morning. Making sure the size was right and there was a way for the head to sit safely on it and that it had a way to attach to a cloth body, so it has 2 little holes front and back.

I named her Linda. Keep checking for updates to see her progress!

Here he goes! Traveling Art Doll 2013

This is my Gipsy Fairy Guy... he has no name yet! I will leave that to my next team member in the Traveling doll :oD
So far he is only a barely covered armature, a face with pointy ears and a 5 o'clock shadow.
He is starting his great adventure going to England, then moves to Spain for a while, then to Greece and when he comes back to California, he will be so transformed and different, with so many stories to tell me!
Hhhmmm I wish I could hide in the box with him as well and go places! lol

 

 

Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy the ride along with my team of wonderful doll makers!

Doll parts

November, December and January went on a blur...
I always feel that as long as I survive January I'm ok, because it is such a blah month for me. Cold, gray, and I don't feel like doing anything.
But here we are in February! I am actually running a painting challenge in my other blog, but I am planning to come and work on dolls in March. I certanly have many dolls waiting for me to be finished!

 

 

Do you also have doll parts waiting for you? Do you want to finish them? :o)

peekaboo! Tiny elf

I was gardening the other day, and I heard some noise by the flower bed and what do you know... I saw a tiny little elf hiding in a little gourd!
Isn't he cute?

His name is Wendell, and he is OOAK polymer baby.
You can see the listing and more photos by clicking on the picture

Back in April. . .

I made her a dress, bonnet and that's the hardest part of all, not being a seamstress... But what do you all think? I picked a very cheerful orange color :o)

Here's with the other baby girl and a Teddy bear to give an idea of size.

Another picture:

I am not sure yet where I'm going to list them. I guess I can try one in each site? (Etsy and ebay)
Thanks for visiting!
