Days seem to be shorter and my urge to nest and BAKE & cook have kicked in.....
But....
before I start getting out the cookbooks and turning on the food channels I want to share my 2 new Fall gals....
Miss Falleena
She's not a witch per se (husband is a gothaphobiac!) but she's sort of Halloweenish in her own way. She's got this aloof, prim attitude but if you look closely you'll see maybe her darker side.....
Meet Miss Autumn
When I start the dolls their bodies are muslin and filling
Then the fun begins...
adding the paperclay to the face....
It takes me over 2 days or more from start to finish to create one. It takes 2 layers of paperclay applied, sculpted and dried before you start to see the face come alive...
I think once I paint her eyes and lips I get an idea of who she is but the real girl emerges when I create her hair.
I guess that's like most of us; we aren't "done" until our hair is..
Finally, I finish dressing them and adding their handmade accessories and they're done.
When I was little my most favorite thing to do was playing with paperdolls...so this is probably my grown up version...I just now thought of that!
Well, the pot of chili on the stove smells like it's about done and it's starting to get dark out there....Closing for now,
Blessings

These girls' hair I created from washed sheep locks (not from my sheep; don't have any...yet? )
