Thursday

Isn't my little Latte` adorable?! She is so independent and knows how cute she is.

We love all the sunny days we get so we can lay out in the warm sun!

But I had to share this adorable, scrumptious photo of my girl chihuahua, Latte`.

I just have to say I love my sister Kelly and her beautiful, intelligent, talented family! Find their daughter singing with her haunting original songs at http://www.destinibeard.com/ and check out this up and coming star! (check out her dad's work also) I think this music is perfect for any spooky event! Thanks for stopping by!

HERE IS MY WONDERLAND CARD DOLL

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!

ARTDOLLONLY WONDERLAND BLOG EVENT

HERE HE IS: "WHAT A CARD" DOLL
I KNEW I WAS GOING TO DO A CARD OR A RABBIT. THE CARD SEEMED LIKE IT HAD SO MANY FUN OPPORTUNITIES TO GET EXTRA SILLY.

I FOUND THE MESH BASE AT GOODWILL. IT WAS A METAL EARRING HOLDER. IT TOOK THE PAPERCLAY REALLY WELL! I WAS EXTREMELY EXCITED AND JUST KEEPING ADDING MORE CLAY AND SHAPING THE CARD AS QUICKLY AS I COULD BECAUSE I COULDN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THE NEXT STEP WOULD LOOK LIKE.  PAPERCLAY IS ADDICTIVE ENOUGH - BUT THIS DOLL COMPELLED ME!!

i THINK HIS NAME IS ERNIE. HE'S BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME AS YOU CAN TELL BY HIS WEATHERED CARD. HIS EYES ARE RED FROM KEEPING THE LONG HOURS; YOU'D BE TOO, IF YOU HEARD THE QUEEN SHOUT OUT ALL DAY "WHAT A CARD" AS THOUGH SHE WAS DISGUSTED. hmmf

THE HANDS ARE POLYMER cLAY.  I DECIDED TO GESSO THE PAPERCLAY BEFORE I PAINTED. THEN AN IRIDESCENT TYPE PAINT. CRACKLE, THEN WHITE PAINT.
THANKS FOR LOOKING. I'M NOT AT MY COMPUTER RIGHT NOW AND SHOULD BE BACK THIS WEEKEND. ENJOY AND THANKS FOR LOOKING.

I am happy with my WIP Steampunk doll now....

I was getting worried that I didn't know what to do quit next with my new doll. But last nite I had insomnia and of course, dollsWEREcallingme, so I faithfully got up and ended up painting her face. So now all is good again and I am at ease. ha   I have a good direction for her outfit but not as much for her face. I like her green eyes. This is an earlier pic, she has a little more detail now. I'm looking for black roving for her hair.

DRUM ROLL............This is her FacE debut. I made her a felted hat. It's my first one!

Here's the hat. It took quit awhile to make it but it was very relaxing.
Anyway, I have to get working on another doll before Steampunk girl gets her clothes. So I better run becos   dollsRcallingme......
