Thank you >blush blush< you are very kind.
Dayle popped round today with SIX dolls! she stayed for coffee...has decided to just retire rather than carry on which is a shame but she says that the gallery had been struggling for a while. I gave her the Claire that I'd made recently and she was really chuffed...(careful to give her the option of backing away gracefully by saying 'Only if you've got somewhere to put him' ) I think that we'll stay in touch. Lovely lady.
So now I have Frida, Jimmi, Albert, Ziggy, Alice and Agnes. So one of them will be the prize....depends which one Jeff wants to keep...and I will give Alice (Suffragette) to my chum Gina (she played a suffragette in a musical play last year)...

Lady Suffragette is looking so forlorn. Have you told her the about the mess in UK is because people didn't use their vote wisely. She would be so angry after all she did for equality and enfranchisement.

I think Suffragette and Soldier are actually eyeing each other while trying to look as though they are not.

The whole group look like a tutorial group who are a bit bored with the tutor.

I ripped Alice's head off this morning and made another one. I'd been itching to get hold of her for ages as her face was all wrong much sweeter now...less horsey... Pinched Oberon's boots for another doll... I need to make more boots for Oberon and Jimmi....busy busy

We had better warn Jeffers to keep an eye out for any unexpected spikes in the electricity consumption records.

Hardy har har... Alice's new head. Got to go over her lips and do a bit more shading...but I'm happier with this version.

They are fab, love the new Alice, she does not look too perturbed after her make over. Oberon is just fab , love his dimple.
But yes echo what Bjd said - have you looked at Etsy or is that not where you want to go ?

I just have to say again how blown away I am by the personalities you create and the way everything is always in such perfect proportion. Love the roses in Tatiana's hair and her fabulously appropriate jewelry. Is she wearing pine cone earrings?

Thank you for your encouraging comments dear hearts. Titania does indeed have pine cone earrings Bixa. There is a little bead shop in town called 'Mosaic'...I pop in every few weeks and look for new interesting beads...I love the metal ones and they're often the right scale for me to use for embellishments for the dollies... Started work on a Nefertiti or Cleopatra...

Boudicca?

Post by cheerypeabrain on Aug 14, 2019 17:30:57 GMT
I reckon I could make a Princess Anne....but I won't...I'm not a monarchist. Boudicca tho...with wild red hair, tattoos and a spear she sounds good...today I was in mosaic picked up some teeny tiny gold and lapis blue flat tiles to make my Egyptian queen's collar etc...

If you made Princess Anne, you would also have to make a horse, so indeed, don't bother.

I am amazed at your imagination...see tiles...think Egyptian Queen. In my case it would be...see tiles...think,"What a pretty blue!" How blessed you are!

Have you thought of making a catalogue of Photos and keeping some for hire for window dressers, special displays, advertisers etc? Just a thought.

Bixa and Questa I just never grew up...in my head I'm around 8 years old. It's still a game...Jeff's made stands for Oberon and Titania but I think they really need a throne tbh...he's very accommodating so I will wait until hes in a good mood.

Cheery, are all of your dolls more or less the same size, or do you vary between a couple of basic sizes?
