Dream Star dolls in progress


I'm working on a bunch of commissions and some seasonal dolls.

Here are a whole lot of painted faces - acrylic on muslin sealed with acrylic sealer. I had fun! The faces really come to life once the shine dot is put in the eye. Lots of different ethnicities and makeups.

Yes, I am planning some green faced witches for Halloween! The two faces on the left were painted by my nearly 9yo daughter as her contribution. Such personality.

How teeny tine are these faces? They look as tiny as ones I did a few years ago (also acrylic on muslin). People thought I was nuts working so tiny. Yours look beautiful!

Each face is 1 1/2 x a scant 1 inch wide. I have an oval template I made to scale with the head of the Dream Star dolls.

I have made smaller ones for pin dolls that were 1/2 inch high x about 1/3.

The large one is roughly 18 inches high, and has a diameter of 22 inches.

Barbie Redux Doll

Here are some pictures, taken by my husband, of my Barbie Redux doll, "Winged Victory". The exhibit starts August 7th with a reception in the evening. I'll be taking along some of my lovely ginger bread cake. There will be a Barbie look alike dress up contest and a treasure hunt. Her head still moves. I figure you could really screw with someone's mind - every time they look at the statue she's looking in a different direction. Heh, heh, heh.
