Update

I spent a wonderful long weekend last weekend at Portarlington at the National Celtic Music Festival. So many fiddles, so little time! Unfortunately I forgot to pack my camera, so I couldn't take any pictures - you'll just have to take my word for it that it was a wonderful festival in a beautiful location on the Bellarine Peninsula.

So I'm back at the coalface now and catching up in the studio. Here are a couple of recently-completed dolls. The one with reddish hair is part of an order and the other Izannah Walker-style doll will be listed in my Etsy store soon.

I will be exhibiting work in a winery in August in an event called "ArtEntwine" which teams up artists with local wineries. This event will take place in late August as part of the Regional Arts Conference. To that end I am working on a number of small sculptural pieces. The one here is a work in progress.

Oh The Indignity!

This is how I dry my dolls in winter.......the studio fire is a lovely warm place for speeding up the drying process, but it looks a little less than dignified for the poor dolls who end up like this! The other picture is the same doll painted and waiting for some clothes - patiently, but just slightly annoyed. She's going to be dressed in white, I think.
