More WIP's of My Hoffman Doll

Andreas Voit's wax model is a source of inspiration for this doll. The hair, in particular, is my favorite part of Voit's model. This model is from the early 19th century. I want my little doll to have a smiling face with wild short curly hair. More pictures are to come.

I'm Back!

I have two announcements to make. The first and most important announcement is my husband and I are expecting our first baby in November. Here is a sneak peek of the little critter at ten weeks. For the time being, I call the baby Ziggy which is short for zygote. So that is why I took a break from dollmaking. Sewing and painting just don't mix with nausea and fatigue. But now that I am in my second trimester, I am feeling much better now and can confidently talk about my pregnancy.

Our Baby at Ten Weeks

My second announcement is I am now currently working on a new doll for the 2008 Hoffman Fabric challenge. I've always wanted to enter, but this year I felt particularly compelled to do so. The fabric is very beautiful. Here is a picture of the doll in progress.

Needless to say, I am very happy right now. Now I just need to get back in the swing of making some more dolls to sell.

Hugs,
