Pianting and limbs finished!

Oh Hi guys! We're still chugging along with these dolls. I can finally say we have them all painted and their arms and legs are sewed on! You would think that doing more than one doll at a time (which is what we've always done before---we've never actually had a large event to prep for) would take less time, but it takes just as much time, and just as much effort and thought goes into each doll. I guess I could compare it to having sextuplets or something... Except these dolls don't need to be fed or changed or... anything like that. I always loved the painting part, because that's when the personalities can really show through. right now they look a *bit* odd, but you can get a better idea as to where they're going. I hope you approve!

Here is my palette! It's so high-tech. I bet you're all jealous.

These two will actually be Jack and Jill...

...and Hansel with Gretel...

That may change when they get their hair on. I think this duo above look older than the first two. Who should be older? Jack and Jill or Hansel and Gretel?

Bethany has amazing plans for this one.

This lady is so cool. I can't wait to see her out of her Birthday cloths!

However, I think Bethany's Goat is my favorite of her's to date. It's just so stinkin' awesome. Look at the hooves!

And here's a close-up of the face. She did some distressing to it. I think It's perfect. Can't wait to see it in a goat-coat!

Another favorite of Bethany's. When she told me she was going to try one with ears, I'm ashamed to say I was skeptical. This will look so cool with hair... and check out those earrings of rusted wire! She does some pretty awesome work...

Sneak Peeks!

Here's a peak at the dolls we were skulpting in the first post, and then another pic of the work station and a special doll Bethany is working on. It will be AWESOME.

Sculpting day!

Here are some pictures of me and Bethany sculpting some of the faces on the dolls this afternoon for the Extravaganza at Renninger's. It feels like it's been a mighty long day, but it was rewarding. I was able to get four faces sculpted, while Bethany finished three. (though she stopped before me and I cleaned up! HA! Don't feel too bad for me, I got to listen to her play the guitar, which is very soothing.)

it's amazing how "blah" these dolls look right now, all colorless and limbless. I look forward to seeing them finished!
