Where’s the Art?
February 23, 2009 By 1 Comment
I guess you may be wondering where the art is? It’s kind of unusual for me to go 2 Sundays without posting something new. The last two weeks have been pretty busy. We did lots of traveling week before last which prevented getting a dolly finished. Then as soon as we got home, I was struck with the most amazing sinus/ear/holy crap I’m staying in bed – infection.
Since I’ve not had an ear ache since I was a kid (and that’s been a while ago), I had forgotten how bad an earache hurts. Thankfully, with the help of those amazing little things called antibiotics, I’m on the mend.
So.
I had an in-process dolly who’s been naked this whole time that I’ve been down. As soon as I get her some new clothes, I’ll have some pics. She’ll be available on eBay Tuesday evening.
And this week is jam-packed with a little game I like to call catch-up. So more new art will arrive shortly!

This sweet lady is La La. And she is as gentle as she looks. La La’s been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She measures 14 tall from head to toe. La La can only sit with assistance or can hang as she has a hemp loop attached to her back. La La’s knees are sewn through. She’s been hand-painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patina. She’s been sealed with matte varnish with UV filter to ensure her longevity.
La La’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her ears have been quilted by hand. She sports painted brown boots with tan socks & mustard yellow laces.
La La’s blouse has been made from white muslin. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline & back. It is finished off with a vintage mother of pearl button. Her colorful apron skirt is made out of a 100% cotton print! The hem features hand-stitching in a contrasting brown thread. La La’s blouse was treated to a lavender bud/coffee bath for a slightly aged appearance. It was then hand-washed & pressed.
La La can sit with assistance only. She will not sit on her own. Her knees are sewn through allowing her to sit nicely on a shelf.
La La is available on Ebay. She will end Feb 15th at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to view or bid!
Charlotte & Stick Rabbit, a Sweet Easter Duo.

This little girl is definitely ready for Easter! And with this stick rabbit, you can be she’ll be hippety-hopping all over the place.
Meet Charlotte. She’s been made of muslin & stuffed with fiberfill. She measures 15″ tall from head to toe. Charlotte sits nicely on her own. Her lower torso is rag-stuffed & bean-filled in order to weight her little bottom. Charlotte has been painted & sanded a couple of times, giving her a lovely, aged patinas. She’s been sealed with a combination of glossy & matte sealers so that she may be lightly dusted after display. Her knees have been sewn through, making her a great shelf sitter. Her arms are lightly wired so that they may hold her stick rabbit with ease.
Charlotte’s face has been painted with a variety of media. Her nose & bottom lip have been needle-sculpted by hand giving her a perfect little pout. Her hands have been needle-sculpted as well. She sports tan painted gloves. She also sports painted brown boots with tan locks & blue-green laces.
Charlotte’s blouse is made of white muslin. It features hand-gathered sleeves & hand-stitching around the neckline and back. It is finished off with a blue, vintage button. I just love the blue polka dot print used for Charlotte’s apron dress. It is completely folksy & is 100% cotton! The hem features hand-stitching in a contrasting brown thread. Charlotte’s blouse was treated to a lavender bud/coffee bath for a slightly aged appearance. All clothing was then hand-washed & pressed.
Charlotte’s stick rabbit was made of muslin, stuffed with fiberfill & hand-painted, sanded, stained & sanded. He was attached to the wooden dowel with hand-stitching & a dab of glue for extra security.
Charlotte’s hair is 100% auburn mohair. It has been applied with light glue for extra security & needle-felting. It is fastened with chocolate ribbons into silly pigtails.
Charlotte is available on Ebay. She will end Feb. 15th at 9:15 PM EST. Click here to have this little girl hop over to your home!
