Good morning! Here’s a look at Olivia, Estelle, Sudanna and Nora. They are wonderful to watch and it’s fun to see them all together. The photo shoot is starting tomorrow, for which I can’t wait! I cross my fingers and hoping that everything will go well…See you soon!
Making art dolls is a long and hard process and mainly if they need to be modeled one by one! The kneading of the clay alone takes me between two to four hours of work and more if I have to mix more than one color. I must confess that there were moments of discouragement: either due to the clay being too hard to work with or because it was too soft. So, making art dolls requires patience and determination. These are two little tips that I strongly suggest to all those who wish to join the world of artist doll making.
Hello everyone! I’ve finally finished Nora and Sudanna’s outfits. Shoe making is the next step before the big photo shoot. I’ll be done in a few days… Hoping that there are no unforeseen events that come.
Hello and I’m back! I’m moving slowly, but surely with my two ladies and they’re about to be assembled finally. And it will take me a whole week to complete their wigs and hairstyles. Content with their size (56 cm-22 inches), I intend, as usual, to use human hair. I want them to have high hairstyles, like buns for example. It’s going to be pretty, isn’t it? What do you think? Anecdotally, painting Sudanna was slightly complicated; I was one finger away from ruining everything. Luckily, acrylic paint is in some sense quite easy to remove with a good solvent.
Hello my lovers of handmade products! Finally, I introduce you to Nora and Sudanna, the two dolls that complete the 2020 Cardinal Directions Collection. Of course, by their first names Nora represents the North and Sudanna the South. Unlike the previous dolls, Olivia and Estelle, I worked simultaneously Nora and Sudanna. It’s been a long time, but I’ve took ahead start during the holidays. When I had time off, I was working. So last December was an intense month! But thank Goodness I was able to advance! I will come back to you with more detail in the next few days. See you again!
Happy Chinese Year 2020! The year of the Metal Rat!
Since this morning, according to Chinese astrology, 2020 will be the year of the Metal Rat! It began on January 25, 2020 with the Chinese New Year. It will end on February 11, 2021 and will follow with the Chinese sign of the Metal Buffalo. From this date we will all enjoy a year that will combine honesty and pragmatism (and people who appreciate fashion will surely be delighted, because this year could bring positive things in this area)
Those born in the years 1936, 1948, 1960, 1972, 1984, 1996, 2008 and 2020 were all born in this intelligent Chinese sign. Rats are quick-witted, popular and funny. They are very loyal and always ready for a challenge, but they can be motivated by money and greed. Rats are convinced that it is important to be frank and direct and they expect the same from others. The natives of this sign also notice, everything that happens, which allows them to excel in law, medicine and science. Happy Chinese Year!
