There's a new gal in town!

This is Punkin gal....she's my first doll I am selling on ETSY...She's a Crows Roost Prim design and I have to say that she turned out better than I ever thought.  I had a great time making her and I hope someone decides to take her home.

Now, AFTER making her I decided to investigate a little on HOW to make dolls and found a website called CLOTH AND CLAY DOLLS.  Well, long story short...I signed up for a yearly subscription and haven't looked back.

This is a group of extremely, I say extremely talented women (maybe there's a man somewhere in the mix, I haven't seen him yet though).  Some of the dolls are not my style but are still works of art.  Of course, there are newbies like me also in the group so I dont' feel so overwhelmed.  I watched an online tutorial on making a prim doll with a sculpted clay face over a muslin body and this seemed very doable!  So, I surfed the net until I found a store within a 25 mi radius, Pat Catans',  that sells paperclay and ran there.  I bought it......along with numerous brushes....expensive ones...since the tutorial said "don't buy cheap paint brushes" and  I bought beautiful acrylic paints in yummy colors to hopefully compliment the dresses for my dolls, sculpting tools (??) and the list goes on.....

My little gal is currently in the oven...on low mind ya....drying.  Tomorrow she will begin to have a face and become all that she can be!!  I will definitely post pictures good or bad so you can meet her too.
