Finally! New listing in the Etsy shop.

I think I posted about Sydney a while back...but I've finally gotten around to adding listings.  The last few months have seen me making dolls, but not putting them in the shop.  The hubs rather dryly mentioned that it's hard to buy something that's not in the store...(he is a smart ass, but I knew this when I married him.)

The new pictures I got of Sydney helped...I've created a backdrop and am considering using white as a backdrop for more listings.  The vintage table/shutters thing for now, but later I'm going to try a trick I learned on Etsy about how to make a "white box" for photographing smaller things.  Guess we'll see.

For now, Sydney is up for adoption.  (She's a very good listener...)

More Belles

I finally dragged everything outside to take advantage of the nice bright but cloudy light, and got better pictures.  We have an art fair coming up in mid-April, and these ladies will attend if not already sold.  Thing is, I'm tempted to keep one of them.  I've grown attached.  Occupational hazard of making dolls!

Here are Hope's sisters, Peace and Joy...

I'm the Featured Artist!

A short interview with Art Dolls Only...and pictures.  It was fun, and I hadn't really thought about my doll Beth in a long time...

Also, a picture of the most recent doll: a southern belle.  I should say bell, because she and her two sisters (which I will post later when I get more pictures) are made from giant papermache bells I found at a thrift shop!










I was aiming for a sort of folk-art version of shabby cottage...not sure if it worked.
