HAPPY NEW YEAR ! ! !


Okay it's time...
enough of this chocolate stuff! I'm going to blow up...or OUT might be a more appropriate way to put it...GEEZ! I worked on another Doll yesterday, and tomorrow I am going to redesign a whole new body! I was watching an animated movie and got an IDEA...so I am very energized to get the Newly remodeled Doll underway...I'll post some new pics of her when I get her going...for now I am posting a head or two of some of the other 'girls' I have 'under construction' and with that I will say have a Fabulous New Year...stay safe and I can't wait to get next year and all that awaits me!

CHRISTMAS EVE...

what an absolutley wonderful day! no hustle, fuss, stress, all around just one great way to spend the day...
creating some, talking about old times, being with family, singing a bit, nibbeling on chocolate and ending the evening with a warm and cozy coffee drink!
I hope you all have a splendiforous DAY tomorrow! HO...HO...HO... Deidre

BRRRR....

Another day of that "foreign" white stuff! And I do mean foreign...we here out WEST, don't see much of this stuff! When we do...it is a major life changer...basically we all hunker down in our cozy little houses and read a lot or watch movies or eat the rest of the Cookies, (because we couldn't have that D_ _ _ party we were supposed to have.) Don't get me wrong... I Love this gorgeous white stuff, but it isn't doing my hips any good!
I have been working on Doll heads today...I'm on my 4th one! I'm gonna get it right or I am going to go wacky! See the lady to the left? My lovely Tart in the Black & White...I have her out to inspire me (she is part of a series of my tribute to black & white, hats, and great fashion!) Back to those silly and irritating HEADS I go...
later my friends.....DEIDRE

ACCESSORIZE!

Let them eat Cake...
I was sitting at my drawing board going thru some old artwork and found 'Marie'...
After all the 'cookie baking' these past fews days, I finally decided what to do with all of those shiny little accessories (in the kitchen) ...WEAR THEM ! If MARIE can do it, why not me...
NO more baking for the rest of the year...that is my promise!

I'm dreaming of a White Christmas...


I think
I must have been very,
very good this past year (?)
Santa has brought me more of
that 'white' stuff ... than I know what to do with?
Snowed in today...what an absolutely fabulous day to be in the studio, blogging, painting, and all around making a mess!

Hope you all are having a wonderful sunday...Deidre

COLETTE

I have just finished reading an Art Doll Quarterly. I almost completed my first Doll last year, but I put her on the back burner because I can't quite get the face right...I'm not the greatest with 3 dimensional art (in sculpture classes I couldn't get past everything looking like ashtrays, and I never even smoked...LOL)
But, this year I am determined to delve into the Doll making venture with great passion! I would love some feed back from any other Doll makers...I need your help and your input! As you can see from the photo of my 'Colette'...she is not quite there, but I thought I would debut her here today, also in the hope that some wonderful Doll maker or enthusiast will take pity on me and send me a missle with all their great wisdom on the world of Dolls...
Thanks...Deidre
