My First Charms

These are my first charms. I'm really pleased at how they turned out. I took a beginning wire wrap class and though my loops and wraps were pretty good for a beginner. But a few days later at home when I tried it gave me fits.

I might have to make me some skull earrings for Halloween.

Dead Parrot Sketch

Working on this stupid parrot has continually reminded me of Monty Python's Dead Parrot Sketch. Polly is such a bedraggled parrot.















And for your enjoyment...

Hair beautiful hair

I thought I'd done all that I was going to on Persia, but last night she demanded that she have hair NOW! So she has luscious locks made from strips of fabric. It really worked up fast.

First Decidedly Different Doll Swap

Decidedly Different Dolls had our first doll swap in July. The dolls have to be 4 inches or less which is a challenge for me. I made "Puck" the green doll for Yvonne. I really like the arms. The arms and and face are peyote stitch. The body is Right Angle Weave.

The orange doll is mine. MA made it or me. Isn't it cool? The body is very cool it is fairly hard but has a rubbery texture to it. I thought at first it must be some sort of clay but MA told me it's a cloth form that she painted and then varnished. I love the face.

Coolaberation 2009 - Persia the Pirate Princess

Persia is very particular and looks nothing at all like I had planned for her. As you can see, She is really into jewels. Why else would she be a pirate? She still has some time with me so I may do more. There are so many tings a pirate needs...

1. hair
2. a hook for a hand
3. more jewels
4. a map
   
5. treasure chest
6. cool clothes
7. a parrot
8. The list goes on...

Coolaberation 2009

Today is the official start of the "Coolaberation 2009." There will be nine artists involved. Here is my doll, The Queen of Hearts." Along with the doll, each doll has a journal. The first entry is either ten words or less to describe how you want your doll to be or a quote. I chose:

"I am an acquired taste, like anchovies.
Not everyone likes those hairy little things.
If I were more like potato chip I'd be everywhere." -Tori Amos.
