Christmas 2021

Santas and Ornaments

Some of my latest Christmas ornaments and a few Santas that I delivered for the Holiday Craft Show at the Fifth Avenue Art Gallery in Eau Gallie Florida. The First Friday Event is on November 5th from 5:30 to 8:30 and the show runs from November 5 through December until January 4th. Of course the gallery is closed Christmas Day. There are many artists that participate so it is always a good place to select gifts that are handmade and one of a kind for those special people on your list !

Boudoir doll ?

Well my latest doll, a 1930’s pattern for a boudoir doll doesn’t exactly look like a boudoir doll to me. The doll body and part of the face and outfit I made according to the pattern otherwise I was on my own. I originally wanted to follow the pattern exactly but honestly, there were not very good directions and I am not good at following a pattern exactly anyway, so after I made the body and used the drawing for the face I went on my merry way and created this doll the way I wanted her. She is a large doll, about 30 inches which is one of the largest dolls I have ever created.

I painted her face with acrylic paint and her Frizzle yarn hair was stitched on her head. Her pajamas/outfit was made with a vintage satin sheet and is so soft and luxurious. I painted her hands, partial arms and legs with a flesh color acrylic paint. Her shoes are also painted with a gold color acrylic paint.

All in all I am happy with her, if I ever decide to create another doll using this pattern there will be many changes ! Thanks for visiting !

The latest…
