It's cold out there!

It's a little warmer today - only -8. Yesterday it was -20. It hurts to go outside. Good thing I am so busy working I only have to look out there!
Today I am finishing up the sculpting on this set of black girls. I sculpted their hands yesterday, today I will do their arms. They will be sculpted almost up to the shoulder.
IDEX is coming up!! I leave in two weeks.....

Color for IDEX!

After working with whites and pinks I am breaking out into some color for these last two dolls I am doing for IDEX!! I think I settled on blue and green but that is likely to change as I go. You just never know. They will have a little more glitz than the others!
Today I am working on the dolls' bodies - wire, tubing, foil, batting, fabric - fun!! I found some cotton/silk batting which I absolutely love. I used to buy it from Joanne's but they discontinued it. So now I found it online at www.fabricshack.com! It is the best - made by Mountain Mist.

IDEX Doll Show

Did I tell you that IDEX is coming up???!!! I can't remember. All I know is that I only have about two weeks to finish up. I have four dolls ready and four in the makings. I will post pictures as soon as I get them.
This week I sculpted a small baby/toddler and two heads! Now I have my fabrics all scattered about trying to design outfits for the two heads I did. I ran out of clay and will finish the dolls when the clay gets here next week! Not a good time to run out. Let's hope my sewing machine won't give out. It has been making strange noises lately.
I will worry about that on Monday.

New sculpts

This is still one of my favorite dolls. I only got to keep her for a short time. At least I have her picture!!!
I am working on a couple of new black girl sculpts. Hopefully they will turn out.! My head is still spinning with many ideas....don't know yet if they will be together or not....

January

January will find me working 15 hours a day...laying awake thinking of what I should do the next day....getting so many ideas that I can't possibly do them all....
My studio is a real mess right now. Should clean up.....but I am working on a head now that needs to get done!!
I would include a picture if I could find my camera....
