Tweet and Starkid are BFF, so are Anneliese and Gretel (hard to believe these two doll heads came out of the same mould!)
I don't. At least not in the way that modern usage means...........these photos are the closest I come to "tweeting"! This is a new Zoziedoll design.
I am in the middle of making some sample dolls for my upcoming classes. This is "Lou-Lou" - a design I came up with in 2006. It has been a while since I made a doll using this pattern and I had forgotten how much fun she was to make........so here is "Lou-Lou" in blue and gold. She is all cloth with a cloth-covered paperclay face-mask from one of my original moulds. The costuming is very simple and relies on fabric choices (shot silk here) and colours as much as anything for appeal.
Here is a quiet little corner of my dining room - beautiful Spring flowers!
And the next little head taken from the silicone mould I made last week - interesting how different it looks from the first one I made from the mould.
Here is the little doll I made using the two-part silicone mould that I blogged about last week.
I had to share these photos of me with a five month old baby Tasmanian Devil. Dear friends of mine rear babies like these when they are orphaned. Devils have a fearsome reputation, but they are truly wonderful unique marsupials - intelligent, playful and just so endearing. The really sad thing is that they are now critically endangered, because they are being wiped out by a particularly nasty transmissable cancerous facial tumour. The jury is out as to the cause of the outbreak of this disease, but I remain to be convinced that increased habitat destruction, clearfell logging, burning, aerial spraying of plantations and wildlife poisoning with nasty poisons like 1080 has nothing to do with it (yes - in the C21st this kind of thing is still happening)........the correlation between the two things is just too strong for it to be ignored. Just another sad chapter in the total lack of regard we humans have for our fellow species. I don't usually use my blog as a soapbox, but I had to make an exception in this case.
