Almost whole this year I was very busy in one hard project.
But I will be back with new art dolls and new interesting ideas in new 2017 year!

It is said art recognition begins when somebody tries to copy your work. It seems I have got a recognition in needle felting :))) (I'm just kidding, of course) One good person from etsy community messaged to me somebody tried to copy and sell my yellow snail :) I'm glad :) It is a pity the copy is not very high-quality made. She needs to improve her art. Good luck my copyist. You have a long way in felting and you will be successful.
And thank you my dear defender for your care and help!

Happy Holidays!
My best wishes for everyone!
Love, peace and health!
I do. Besides that I remember some more pictures with ladies and different animals: dogs, cats, horses and and so on.
But I have never seen lady with boar :). Probably because ladies think that boars are not good company for them in portrait :).
But this noble lady gnome doesn't think so.
Well,
Lady Gnome with boar.

For creation x-chair I chose basswood because it's a very soft wood and easy for carving.
Ruby is waiting for her new chair :)
Ready for sitting :)
I wish You all Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with Peace,
Joy, Health and Happiness!
What about doll implementation technique I choose a papier-mâché and wire armature for hands and legs. Oven baking clay is very nice for doll making but papier-mâché is very old and trusted technique. Parts that were made from Papier-mâché are strong enough, good looking and good combine with air dry clay.
Started to make doll from the scheme as usually. Hands, legs and body on the wire armature:
As I remember from my historical searching ladies wore dresses by bliaut or bliaud model: long skirt, slinky bodice and long sleeves.
So I decided to make dress that is very close to the historical original. It is not a historical reconstruction, but you can find some likeness :).
For the dress decoration I choose golden threads and pearl-like beads. Floral ornament.
So, my work will be finished very soon. Now I need to make a belt for dress, but this is a little bit later ;)
