whimsymoon skip to main skip to sidebar saturday october 29 2011 doll busts i have not for the life of me been able to figure out what to call these busts nothing clever or moving would come to mind they are just busts i was making doll heads of different ethnic groups i felt horrible just to have them strewn about begging me to make something of them nothing worse than looking over into the accusing eyes of a would be doll knowing that you have no intention of making a doll at that moment so the busts were born they are approximately 6 tall attached to a wooden base and despite all the guilt they caused me i thoroughly enjoyed making them posted by whimsymoon at 9 16 pm 17 comments wednesday june 15 2011 bathing beauty one of the doll organizations i belong to taoda texas association of original doll artists is an amazing group or original doll artists this coming weekend we have a gallery show in galveston tx called bathing beauties this is my doll for the show perle perle and her family are enjoying a sunny day at the beach actually it is perle s family that is enjoying the day she however is terrified that someone will comment on her knobby knees she was beside herself with joy when her aunt rilla promised her a new sunbathing suit she began dreaming of a bright pink or soft yellow day dress that would garner her many appreciative stares as she walked up and down the beach i needn t tell you of how her face fell when she opened the beautifully wrapped packaged her aunt had brought all the way from boston and saw the blue short set inside her mother was quite embarrassed by her lack of graces but she quickly recovered and pasted a somewhat stiff smile in place her aunt was overjoyed poor perle could only think about how a short set and a blue one at that would show her knees to a less than fashionable advantage how mortifying perle usually loved the beach darting around finding shells that her mother would put in jars and so that perle and her sister could put them around for decor today her heart was just not in shell hunting but not wanting to give any of her brother s less than kind friends time to remark on her clothing she went in search of a quiet cove after what seemed like an eternity of searching she found a cove that was only inhabited by a family of egrets the sand was so lovely in this part of the beach bright yellow and glittery and the shells were in abundance as she wandered around half heartedly looking for shells she came upon a beautiful shell that had a pearl in it maybe it wasn t going to be a bad day after all perle is about 16 tall including her hand painted base she is a cloth doll made over a wire armature posted by whimsymoon at 5 12 pm 2 comments friday november 5 2010 another abundance this is another version of abundance that i made this summer i had the honor of teaching her to a great group of women here in my neck of the woods the material girls of houston kindly had me teach her as a class this fall abundance is about 18 and fully cloth no paper clay this time i think she is an enjoyable doll to make because she is fairly easy to construct and most of your time is spent on embellishing her one of my favorite parts of doll making posted by whimsymoon at 12 06 am 10 comments labels abundance doll fabric art fabric saturday october 30 2010 2 new dolls i don t know if you suffer from this but sometimes the more behind on something that i get the harder it is to make myself catch up such as blogging if i miss more than a few months i find it almost impossible to add an entry so to help myself get over my self imposed phobia i ve redesigned my blog i m still of the opinion that blogger does not make the process of changing a blog easy but after spending all the time it took to just fix the margins i kind of feel it s worth it to start blogging again here are 2 dolls that i worked on over the last year the first doll is called reluctance she is a paper clay doll made over a wire armature reluctance is about 22 tall if she were to be standing this next doll is called réalití she is also a paper clay stump body doll she stands about 18 tall as always i enjoyed making them both and finally sharing them with you posted by whimsymoon at 11 36 pm 11 comments wednesday december 2 2009 ode to waterhouse j w waterhouse is probably one of my favorite painters this doll is called ode to waterhouse as a nod to his work windflowers ode to waterhouse is 18 tall with base included i really enjoyed making her especially sculpting and painting her face her clothing is from bits of silk and satin laces and bead embellishments posted by whimsymoon at 12 42 pm 17 comments wednesday september 2 2009 pantomime joy i made this doll probably about 4 months ago her name came to me immediately but her story is a whole different er story i had been playing a board game with my children and one of the parts of the game was to act out being happy well we didn t quite get it as we watched my youngest child act out happy words that began to be shouted out were crazy strange and luny lol at the end of the charade we were all laughing hysterically that s when the idea of the doll came to me pantomime joy is 15 tall she is sculpted from paper clay and covered with fabric her facial features are done in pastels and colored pencils i don t know if she is as successful in her pantomime as my daughter was in conveying happy but i do wish you joy and contentment and the hope that in your life joy will become real and not just a pantomime posted by whimsymoon at 9 13 am 11 comments tuesday june 23 2009 ophelia her older sister and the fish these dolls are sort of a tribute to sisterly boredom i have 3 girls and for the most part they get along in a grand fashion but every now and then they get really really tired of playing together especially the oldest one i can always tell when she s had enough of her younger sisters she gets this incredibly bored looked that is seasoned with just enough do i have to and surely as the mother of those two crazy kids you should see that what you ask is unreasonable to pretty much convey to me that play time is over and when the oldest gets that look my middle girl gets a stoic but desperate look on her face the silent plea that she though she is a reasonable being should not have to play with her youngest sister all by herself in case it hasn t hit you my youngest daughter is quite lively she can whistle and sing louder than anyone and when she s happy she s usually singing or whistling trouble is well there s only so much loud whistling and singing most sane people can take these dolls ophelia and her older sister capture the look i want to do a third doll that will represent my youngest daughter i just have to figure out how to make a doll look like it is talking non stop posted by whimsymoon at 4 14 pm 11 comments wednesday april 1 2009 a little mermaid this is arisa she is a companion child mermaid to a mermaid i made a while ago she is about 12 tall and the pattern for her will be included in my online class enkai nou she is a cloth doll with a softly needle sculpted face her features are pastel and watercolor pencils arisa is a wall doll and i m rather fond of her as she looks like my daughters minus the tail posted by whimsymoon at 2 28 pm 9 comments older posts home subscribe to comments atom
