New pieces coming soon!

I have a baby toucan ready to list! I'll be photographing him later today and, hopefully have him listed by this evening or by tomorrow afternoon. He's really cute! I am also at the dressing stage for my flapper doll.

My next sculpt will be a baby sleeping in a match box. I plan to alter the box so that it's feminine and shabby sweet.

So please stay tuned and don't miss out on these one of a kind sculptures!

teddy bear tutorial

I'm thinking about doing a teddy bear tutorial. Please let me know if you are interested. It would be a jointed bear, either wire jointed or thread jointed. I would keep it simple for beginners. I have taught several teddy bear classes and everyone seemed to enjoy them and everyone's bears turned out really cute!Sign up for my blog to be notified when my tutorial is finished!




I named him "Webster" because his hat and feet are embellished with the definition of "bear" taken from a vintage dictionary. He is thread jointed and aged for a shabby look. I painted a box with white paint, and then repurposed a Trader Joe's paper bag to make a pleated medallion for the top. Rather than buy ribbon, I like to rip organza. This box has a black organza bow around it that matched the ruffle around Webster's neck. I used reprint of a vintage bear to layer on top of the paper medallion. Webster can either sit on the top of the box, or you can use it as a prop with him sitting in front of it or to the side, as you can see in one of the photos.
I am offering free shipping and handling on this piece and Fifi, my baby orangutan.

Fifi, a miniature ooak orangutan!





This is Fifi, my new shabby sweetie that I have listed on Ebay. I hope you like her face as much as I do. I think it is sweet from all angles. She is 2½ inches high, perfect for someone who doesn't have a lot of room left for her doll collection. Here is the link to her auction:

I am offering free shipping on this one (within the USA)!
