Oh MY ....END OF SUMMER...BACK TO BLOG.....


Working on "Grinches Cindy dolls"  My Version!! haha

Well....no good computer down the shore....but its the END of SUMMER and back to blogging......I miss all my DOLL FRIENDS...cant wait to see what everyone is up to!!!  Here is whats been going on going on here.....

Getting my paperclay doll class  together for Art is 2011, and creating some suessical dolls for this Grand Event!!!!!!!!!!   So I'm Creating My Version of the Grinches Cindy charachter in a tiny paper clay doll......All the pants are made...a stretch Velvet in light pink that was stamped with a really cool "stripe" stamp that I have...I used mauvy bright pink acrylic paint...after the stripes dried....I painted a layer of fabric medium over  that and then dusted a light coat of light opalescent sparkle...hit it with a heat gun....looks cool....and still stretched right over the dolls legs.....
Her Jacket is a baby pink "SHINY Raincoat "  Fabric.....I'll trim it with this funky faux wild fur in white.  After all the jackets are sewn...wigging is next....then painting tiny "shiny pink patent leather shoes"!!!!
