This past weekend...i was rushing around doing a lot of ebay stuff...i took a break to eat and there was quit a large box on the kitchen table...it was addresses to me! NO...I swear i didnt order more "STUFF"...jimmy was just looking at me...then i read....Stephanie Novatski....what the hell??? were we supposed to mail our christmas dolls??? no one notified me!!! mine 's not even done!!!??



Ugh...I opened the box...and found all kinds of fantastic fabrics...stamps...beads and baubles...my color pink and gold ribbon....!!! my god!...there was a plastic shop rite bag...ugh!!! its heavy...OH my God...a Witch!!! I loved her the minute I picked her up...she has a beautiful vintage kind of face...and her clothes are so soft...some "REAL" vintage fabric...the shoes..the hair...free motion underskirt ! and the fantastic TAG with a beautiful note attached.... Check her out...Now I know why we do the "Doll" thing!

Mermaid not working







The Mermaid doll started out so great and exciting...then went DOWNHILL! This girl just didnt want to work...her head didnt fit her body...so i had to taker her apart...and i decided to try and sculpt her top portion...i was still happy with the tail and the material techniques i learned in class......si its a start...This is my First sculpted Body...so maybe it will take me a while...hmmm!!!
