well, i finally got my doll finished!! i'm really happy with how she turned out!! her outfit is hand dyed cheesecloth, and i painted her tail with some lumiere paints to give it some sparkle and tone down some of the green. i did some beading on the outfit and tail...and she has a hand drawn and colored face done in prismacolors. you can check out my flickr page for more pics and closeup shots.

here's erin's bellycast from her son, and first pregnancy, logan. she had no preferance for anything on this one, so the idea was up to me....i'm pretty sure she's got a turtle tattoo and i wanted to stick with the ocean theme for both of them. i think the turtles came out cute, i love the baby ones!! this is the one that needed lots of tlc!! i had to totally reinforce it and shape it up...it was super flimsy, but now it's rigid and perfect like it should be! i had so much fun painting these, i can't wait to do mine!!

this ismy friend erin's, who was our bradley method teacher and doula, bellycast from her second pregnancy, her daughter. i'm working on her first one now...it needed some serious tlc....some patching and reinforcing of the rigidwrap. not sure what i'm going to paint on it just yet though.

ahhhhh, life is good.

river's been a bit of a drama queen, high maintanence baby recently...she's going through yet another growth spurt and all she wants to do is eat and sleep...but in between crying and eating, she does some cute stuff!! LOL we love her so much!! :)

new doll in progress

i've finally gotten the time to start on a new doll!! it's a small, child mermaid from angela jarecki's enkai nou class...i'm probably going to make her older looking...but not too sure yet. i got to go out to our big joann's last week with my friend renee' and got the sweet "body" batik fabric...i've been looking for these types of batik for skin for my dolls for awhile, i love using them rather than a solid color. hopefully i can find some time to dye up some cheesecloth for her clothes and get to do all the fun embellishments i've got in my head. i've really missed sewing!!
