Happy May!
Here is the link for the new issue of
Glitter and Grunge
Thank you for looking!
May is here, and things always rev up for me this month. Its the last month of school for all of my kids, so we have finals and prom(tonight) and the end of all the school related activities- teacher appreciations, and coach dinners and things of that sort. I have to try to gaurd my work hours or I won't get anything made and that means no $!!
I have joined a new dollmaking group that I wanted to tell you all about. (Michelle are you listening?) Its called Modern Cloth Dollmaking, and they concentrate on patterns from the 70's, 80's and 90's, to today. Although I really am a vintage cloth dollmaker, the reason I joined is because great innovations were being made during this time period in regard to construction. This is when people like Antoinette Cely were teaching draping and other advanced techniques, and there were some great dollmakers doing awesome things with costume as well. These ladies got us to where we are today in many respects. So I thought it would be cool to learn more about them, and try some of their patterns.

My next little baby

Busy, busy, busy
I know you can all relate to that. The last couple of days I've been so busy that at night when I go to bed I can't sleep because my entire body is so achy! How weird is that? It stinks getting old! LOL!
I am working on another oil painted doll. She is a black baby too, and I'm going to make her the cutest bonnet!
I also have a few new canvases that I bought at Dick Blick(I am proud to say I am now a preferred customer and receive a 10% discount everytime I go there! So cool!)I snuck in there last Sunday when I had to take Lucas for his tux for prom. He is my jr. and he looks SOOO handsome in his tux, wow! I can't wait to get pictures!I will definitely post them! So anyway, I hope to get a few more mixed media pieces done.
Last night I went to guild(I belong to the EGA) and even though I haven't been stitching in a while I still really enjoy going because I have some really nice friends there. I also need to get designing on some new needlework patterns. Why am I so fractured? I just like to do so many different things, its hard to stick with just one!
Here is a pic of some dolls I dug out of the basement. I hope to get them finished up soon.
