I was in San Diego for a show this past weekend, and taught a sculpting class, too! The class went very well -- everyone went home with a sculpted head,
and we had a lot of fun! AND, they threw a little birthday party for
me...how cool is that?!
The Dimensions in Dollmaking show was
fantastic this year -- over 60 dolls from all the world. It was very inspiring, and
I'm just brimming with new ideas...stay tuned!!
This
past weekend I was a participant in Wendy Froud's "Creating a Faery
Figure" Pasadena workshop -- while I picked up a couple of tips, mostly
it was just fun to be in a creative atmosphere and to see Wendy and
Toby again.
I got to meet some gals I had only known online up 'til
now, and make a couple new friends.
This is what I've been doing for the last week, rather than things I'm supposed to be doing...=-D
I have intended to make one of the ball jointed dolls (BJD) for several years now, and finally sat down and made one!
All Jonna's parts are hand-sculpted -- he is hollow, and strung together with elastic, so he is completely posable. Now the poor li'l fae needs some clothes!
I'm very pleased with the result, and will be doing more in future....I think the next one wil be a Fada...
