His head!!

I have been unwell so I haven't been able to devote much time to the Alice in Wonderland challenge but I have done the original model for the head and will cast a mold from it this week,I so hope I can get this done,starting to worry that my health will hold me back but I'm going to try so very hard to do it!!!!!

I have been visiting the other blogs in this event and wow there is so much talent out their,cant wait to see their dolls.

I have decided to have a go at Tweedledee and Tweedledum,its like I like to make my life hard,I had to pick two dolls,I just couldn't make it easy and do one could I,Im thinking that I have a malfunction in my brain.

I thought that I would sculpt a head and do a mold so I can get the identical thing happening,then I would cast the new faces onto a foam block and paper mache the body and legs and make separate arms that move,I also think I will do most of the clothing in mache,not sure about that yet...
What ever I do it will take longer because I have to do twins,they are so cute though!

Well I think I better get off and do some work on the twins,see you all soon xox.

Im Back and ready to go!

Well its been a while,I recently broke my back and have been taking it very easy but I'm back and ready to roll.

I have signed up for the ADO Alice In Wonderland event and look forward to the new challenge,I will spend the next few days deciding what I will do and then go for it,oh this will be fun,very exciting.

As I said Ive been out of action but I have managed to do a few dolly things,I made up some more wooden peeps and some rather cute pin cushions but other than that its been a ho humish.

I have been looking at some nice blogs and some good doll info sites as well as reading Suzanna Oroyan books.
