Happy New Year!!!!

Happy New Year!

I plan on sculpting again this year, I bought some craft supplies friday and have been organizing my zillion balls of crochet thread. Next on the organizing list is fabric. I buy way too much stuff that I never end up using. I plan on making at least 1 outfit from each fabric and color of crochet thread this year.

Here's the baby I made for my dad in November.

Working on babies

I tried to switch to Christmas music.. but these babies only "want" to be created while I am listening to the Hollow ep. The music is really good so I am not complaining.. but I need to get these babies made A.S.A.P. I have about 9 or 10 babies that I am working some will be full babies, the others bundle babies. All of them will be miniature, about 6 inches.

Time for Christmas

It's officially time to kick off the Holiday season! I am putting up my Christmas tree today while watching A Christmas Story, and decorating the tree in very cool colors, not traditional colors at all.

Rest in Peace

When someone dies it's heartbreaking. I found out one of the only non related people I have ever known to support my art has died this week.

This person also an artist, whom I had known my entire life, When he discovered I could draw babies, instead of putting me down and telling me I would not succeed he passed along some art books and gave me some tips when I was learning to draw babies. He told me if I really wanted to be an artist, I would have to keep working. He would often ask me how the babies were coming along. During the turbulent times of life, he'd ask me if i was still doing art, he'd keep encouraging me to continue because I had the talent.

I am thankful I didn't give up. I am now an artist with baby sculptures world wide. I am very thankful for his support in my early years of discovering my talent. I am very thankful he never said I could not do this. I would not have been as successful if it had not been for him taking interest in me.

Thank you for the years of encouragement. I am not giving up.
Rest in peace

First baby of the year!

First baby of the year!

He's a biracial baby with blue eyes, he was made for someone my mom knows from work.
It was sad to pack him up and see him go. He's a cutie!
I sculpted him in October 2010.

Painting

I have been working on painting a baby,it's taking a lot longer than expected.
I hope to get some of the painting done today.

Working on a baby

I am finally working on a new baby. It's a biracial baby, most likely a boy as usual. I have the head and arms sculpted, will be working on the legs later tonight.

I was able to get Jack Johnston's 1/2 scale baby dolls dvd this week. But i have to admit, that i have been side tracked reading a book called Hollow by Jena Morrow.

Anyway I am hoping to balance out reading and working on dolls. And get this doll done this week.
