Looking for-----

"MY" style!!!! All my creations seem to be so different that I was told..they cant be picked out as--- MY Style!!! But getting  closer heheheh---Do have --two --big eyed gals in my  latest creations--- of cloth dolls---Nothing like my clay dolls or my nylon-sculpted dolls or or my wooden dolls-- And----Two dolls in this pix --have embroidered faces and the other two are painted---I have even tried blank faces--I think Mr Moo is trying to tell me...No more ( or slow down)--the web browsing====So--- my fickle muse can walk a straighter path-- Too late----I have a new book from Japan on felting  and I have been browsing  Russian blogs-- SO in awe of these gals and their work-- I have pinned a half dozen or so  of their  creations --on  my Pinterst---Soooo Who cares about finding a style---- I am having too much fun--- experimenting with everyone else's---Not copying  tho--- as my dolls never even come out like I PLAN---and sometimes they are sooo off the wall--I even wonder where they come from?????HMMMMMMM
But there is nothing like  wallowing (can I say that??_)  in a variety of creative juices elsewhere--to refresh you  own creative spring..Now to start my newest projects and not just THINK about them!!!!

One of those days

It snowed  in NC!! Not that it never snows but lets say---It is a rarity!! SO my trek out to feed  the birds who faithfully visit--didn't get past my back step--Mr Moo let me know he wasn't   up to getting out of bed


And yet another dolly is waiting for finishing!?!?!Nope  not a rarity --- More like the usual-- hihi ----cept for the snow-----Hope everyone is cozy in their lil corner of the world..Toasting you with my cup of hot chocolate!!!!!!

Before

she packs them up for school ----I did a quick shot----Not a very flattering pix of her hard work  Always photographs better on the porch in daylight---etc----The lil glass frog hides himself so well in the grass that I was lucky his face showed-up  The jellyfish  just shines so pretty in the light and the snake is --I  think the best-- Still good or bad shot..I now have proof of this project to save for her and proof (to all--hihi) that we are still creating at Jandees play space-----  

well I guess

I am feeling better !?!? Yep I was sick---- hate those times-- dont feel like doing much-- Which has been (and hopefully will be ) rare around here  !! The Rarer the better I say--- Cuz when I feel better Look what  we get done--- Dolly is happy--because she has her outfit and then there is Kami and her school projects

Lets see--A clay snake--wrapped around a tree branch  and a " glass" frog..Yep we did that one with hot glue.. Made me appreciate clay for sure..but it worked out well enough  and then  some sea beings--Of course she always picks the hardest creatures to capture..This for science and how animals  cope--- I hope we don't forget to get pixs  when we are finished ---  with these latest  projects----I finally figured out why I don't stick to one product.. Her sloth was cloth  ..  and fur-----her hooded toad was  polymer clay--her  art project was--- found items in a artistic layout ==her snake is air dry clay--- her glass frog is hot glue and then some---- her  jelly fish  used up the plastic wrap-- we made an "egg" bunny and  needle felted animals...As you can tell--we have just about tried it all--hmmm I did say just about!!!! We always seem to find new things and new ways-----We have had costumes to make and  toys  found  that were too expensive to buy so we made the next best thing...We have made    pillow cases and party dresses and hats and  pocket books--OH MY!!! we do try everything--even T-shirts with our own logos and drawings..  ---- always on the look out for something new--to try ---Some we have to ---- and some is just pure fun!!! May you all have FUN DAYS!!!!

Getting there

Slow but sure--------I had an outfit in mind..before I started this doll--- but now she doesn't want to wear--- anything ---I  try on her-----hmmmm    ---SO tomorrow I plan on a lil  (dolly) shopping -- First-I have to call the doc  about some problems  I have been having lately--- So the shopping should sweeten the day some--And finding something that works  for ---Both of US--- would make my day!!
