This card was a bit of a challenge, only 75 more to go! When you start reading about the cards you really start to fall in love with them. Each meaning for each card is so meaningful and personal.  I am really enjoying making these.   Daily Tarot Girl says The High Priestess card is one of the more mystifying cards of the Major Arcana, full of secrets and mysteries as she beckons you to explore the unknown depths of your soul. Basically what I took away from the meaning of the card is you need to essentially chillout and reflect. And that is exactly what my girl is doing while she smokes her hookah.  When I first thought of making this deck I knew I'd need a theme.  I looked all over the internet and noticed not one person has ever done a Blythe themed deck. So I am so happy to be the first to do one. I hope to be able to have a Blythe doll in most of the cards but some will just be teddy bears or something else. I really didn't know how I would do at being ...

new girl in the works  ''You play with dolls''- That is probably the number one statements a person can utter that will piss me off!-  I don't consider making dolls or artwork based on them playing!  The definition of playing is to engage in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose. There are aspects about making dolls that are fun, but overall for me, it's a lot of work!. Same goes for any of my paintings or mixed media pieces. People always assume that creating art is relaxing and carefree fun. Who knows maybe it is for some, but for me it's stressful and time consuming.  I usually have headaches afterwards.When I'm sitting in one spot for 8hrs a day staring at a computer screen trying to perfect one of my mixed media pieces, it isn't fun!  Headaches, neck cramps and eyestrain is a small part of making my art. There is also the heart and soul that is poured in only to be met mostly by rejection. I w...

C ompleted my second card The Magician. The Daily Tarot Girl puts it best, she says :  If the Magician could speak, he would say: “you have the power to create and make things happen! Once you become aware of the full extent of your own power, nothing can stand in your way of shaping your life and manifesting what you need. It’s time to focus your attention and direct your will – potential for success is at your fingertips!” When It is time for you to claim your power and take action toward your goals Action is needed in order to turn possibility into reality You have the ability to manifest your dreams, even if you don’t realize it yet Inquiry What do you want to create? How do you want your life to be? How would it feel to be completely powerful in your own life – if you knew you could directly shape your reality with your thoughts, feelings and actions? How and what have you successfully manifested in the past? Action Create a vision board ...

I had posted this last year but when deleting some of my blogs this one was deleted. I am reposting it because my feelings on the matter are still the same and hope others who go through similar things can know they are not alone and to stay positive and don't let others bring you down- The nerve. I was going through my Flickr and looking at some of the things I've made in the last two years for Blythe. And I think for someone who never made patterns before or clothing for people, let alone doll clothing on a 1:6 scale. My designs are AWESOME! I think you have to pat yourself on the back every now and then cause there are too many people in this world waiting in line to tear you down for absolutely no good reason. Back in January of last year, I saw an outfit I liked online by someone called TSANFW, and decided to contact the person who made it to see if he/she?.. dose layaway. They told me they don't do layaways and so I left it alone. Then I saw another out...
