OOPs I did it again !!


Nope not the song, but my confession..... I was asked to make a special order for
an Itty Izzy and ended up with twins, lol ! Here's the one that was
rejected, poor thing. I sure hope someone will give her a good home.
She is up for adoption this evening on Ebay. Click here if ya wanna take
a looky see.

Grodner Tal Doll -Work in Progress



UPDATE::: Just had to snap a quick pic of my pretty bouquet and little Grodner Tal with her newly attached limbs. Life is Good!
Hope everyone had a Happy Mothers Day!!!





I've finally gotten around at trying my hand on a "Grodner Tal" Doll. These dolls were carved completely out of wood in the early 19th century..... I cheated and started with a wooden finial and tweaked it a bit or alot, lol! Sure wish I had a lathe! I'm making mine with a "tuck-comb" hairstyle.
I'm carving her little legs and arms from clothes pins. Not sure how to attach yet?
Here's a picture of her so far.... (you can barely see the photo of an original in background).
I'll try to snap some pics of her arms/legs a little later, but right now my camera battery is charging.
Thanks for visiting!!! Hope everyone has a great weekend too!
