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...

W e will be welcoming in October in a mere three days! and I am a head of schedule for making my first tarot card. First let me refresh everyone, the first card in the deck I needed to make was the Fool-  I like the fools card because it represents the person who knows what they want to do but they just don't know how to get there. The daily tarot girl put it best she said;  ' The Fool can be a bit naïve.  For example, he is the dude who gets all fired up about some bizarre business venture and puts all of his life savings and energy into it. He may turn out to be a millionaire or a broke hobo, but he will always trust his instincts, follow his heart and live''  I n order to make the card I needed to ask myself how living life with no fear would translate- This is what I came up with. Yes it's a teddy bear on top of a ladder trying to capture a butterfly with his butterfly net, lol . He has no fear of falling off the ladder and knocking the stuffing out of...

W orking on a bunch of new mixed media pieces that have whole room scenes.  S ome of these rooms have been in my head for a while and some are ones that were inspired in the moment.   T his first picture was inspired by a house in Brooklyn know as a livable cabinet of curiosities.  I actually made a few different drafts but settled on this version because I liked it best.  Think I went a little creepier with it then I had initially intended because we are approaching October and so I think a little spookiness crept in.     T he H ouse I n B rooklyn  know as a livable cabinet of curiosities. House in Brooklyn know as the house of curiosities. This is the house that inspired my piece up there^^ T his second piece was inspired by another house in Brooklyn called there's a jungle in Brooklyn.    The woman who lives in the house named Summer Rayne Oakes  is an Environmentalist, and her house has plants everywhere, lit...

Y esterday marked the day that I've made three hundred pieces of Blythe doll clothing.  Y ep, I started making Blythe clothing three years ago and yesterday I started finishing up another teddy bear coat. I haven't made one in three years so I was pretty excited to finally make another one.                  H ere is the new teddy bear coat-  Was inspired by a ballerinas tutu On left side is picture of coat before the teddy bear was sewn on.  The right side is after I sewn on the teddy bear L ike the last teddy bear coat I made the picking of the bear was as important as the coat itself.  I found a lovely vintage STEIFF bear from 2003 who gave his life for this coat- Doesn't he look happy to be volunteering! L ike the last bear coat I made, I had to take the bear apart and reassemble him back on to the coat. If you are sensitive to a teddy bear being taken apart look away now!, haha ...

  T here are certain dates since we've entered into the 2000's that I think some of us won't forget for our own reasons.  T he other day I was on twitter and someone mentioned Y2K and I almost spit out my coffee laughing. As so many of you  probably remember Y2K was the beginning of the millennial age and there were all these rumors circulating that on New Years Eve at midnight as we went from 1999 into 2000 all the clocks were suppose to stop working, and all the computers were suppose to crash. People were stocking up on groceries. Was suppose to be absolute chaos!.  I stayed in that new years was raining and was bitterly cold out. I stayed up to midnight to see if the clocks would stop and to see if the world would virtually shut down, lol...oh right, and to ring in the New Year! Nothing significant happened so I went to sleep, lol  A nother date that stands out to me is 11/11/2011  That was the year all the 11's lined up! which if you look up the...
