Remember Jesus is the reason for the season. Well I say Jesus is the reason all the time, everyday ......

I've been busy, take a look. I made my bodies and decided to use a face painting technique from a pattern I've been hanging on to by Sue Sizemore. I would love to take a class with her.

Trying something new. I was ask to do a Witch. I don't like witches. So the best I can do is Steampunk with a twist.

My Students making Dolls 2013

2013-06-03T19:24:00.001-07:00

After a wonderful job with the Fashion Show. I gave my students the last few weeks to relax and make Dolls

Not enough TIME!

2013-04-06T10:46:00.000-07:00

WOW! Time goes by so fast. I've been so busy with our annual Fashion Show at the high school, I had no time to do my weekly up date. But I'm back so let's try this again. My goal is to keep you up dated on what I'm working on.
So spring break i spent a Week in Las Vegas making doll patterns, And going to thrift store finding odds things to add to my dolls. Barbara Phox, artist of Dolls in a Phox hole took a flight in from Texas and shared the hunt Ooh boy did we have a wonderful time. When I say we know where every thrift store in Las Vegas is at. WE KNOW!
Well now I need to finish a few more projects and post them. Then off to my website and Esty. Until next time. Blessings.

Had a few hours in my studio today and I enjoy that time working on my Kinfolks line. I'm just waiting for them to start telling me who they are? My Uncle Rudy, my cousin Tilly boo, Boney, or Nunie. Maybe my Aunt Mary, we call her "I do, I do" because she's been married so many times. Some people collect Dolls, coins, stamps, she collect wedding rings. LOL. No matter the whole family will come out in this line 2013. Just wait to you meet Ma'Dea, that's my grandmother on my father side.
