Here’s one of the things that I’ve been working on lately. This poseable pirate girl doll is 5 1/2 inches tall. I wish I made it bigger because it was really annoying to make such tiny clothing! I’ve used sculpey for the hands and face which are painted with acryla gouache. The body is made of tin foil and wire and the clothing various fabrics such as linen, silk, felt, wool, and leather. I’m working on an environment to put her in

Here’s an earlier full body shot without the book and before I finished the hands.

I’m not finishing her boots since they were giving me trouble and I’m not intending for her feet to be seen in the final photos anyway. Plus it’s way easier to stand her up when I can pin her to the wood like that!

I made some beards lately and Craig and I have been wearing them!

Spoonflower recently did a free swatch day where you could order two swatches of any weight fabric at no cost! A swatch works out to be 8 x 8 inches, not very big but there’s still a lot you can do with a piece of fabric that size! I got a swatch of the upholstery weight fabric to test how it would hold up as a book cover. So here are the two tiny books I made for jotting down notes. They are just over 3 x 2.75 inches big, and they have 40 pages of mixed papers in them. I always like to have some kind of book in my bag to jot down little notes and stuff on and that is exactly what I plan to use these things for!
