Working on some new art dolls today. These stamps are available in my shop. If you want to make your own art dolls using my design I have a whole plate of stamp parts. I drew the wings and skirts but I sell wing stamps too.

Art Dolls are taking over the house!

I love making art dolls.  The problem is I keep selling them and I don't get to keep many, so I make more for me, then sell them too.  This is a problem for an obsessive doll maker!

FROZEN CHARLOTTES ARE TAKING OVER MY HOME

FROZEN CHARLOTTES!!   I love them, can't get enough of them.  There, I've admitted it.  They are just so darn cute!  I have boxes of them.  Last year I started selling them.  Here's the link:  http://www.pinksupply.etsy.com   

Now, here's the problem.  I'm in love with each and every one of them and don't want to part with a one~!    I want to keep them all.  I have boxes of them.  They are sitting on the shelf with the spices over my sink, peeking out of cabinets, lined up between fabric in the sewing room, looking at me when I open a drawer, wearing little paper hats on my work table.  I've been collecting them for years.  They're not all out on display, that would really make me look mad!!  I do switch them when I'm dusting.  Every time I sell one I feel a little sad that she's  leaving the others.  Whew!  That's really sick!!  I sold my  favorite two this year and still wish I never listed them. They had to go when I realized it's  not "normal" having so many.   What if when I die  someone comes upon my stash hidden throughout the house?  How will I be remembered?  That crazy woman up on Fifth Street with all those weird little china dolls? But...there I am at another auction, my hand goes up when I see a box  of them.  Or, I'm strolling the street on a Saturday morning garage sale circuit and there they are stuck in a pile of junk under a table calling out to me to save them.  YIKES!!!! I think I need a doll intervention.

I've been blogged!

wow!  I've been blogged!  Here's the link to the blog post about my store: http://ornamentia.blogspot.com     What a nice compliment!  I've been working on posting some lessons for my blog.  I'll have them posted this weekend so please check back.  

I've been working on clay faces for dolls all afternoon.  I haven't done black and white before, I think it looks kind of cool though, I needed a change.
