WIP Wednesday

Tomorrow is Halloween and today's WIP peek is definitely in that spirit. If you could have stood outside my studio door this afternoon you would have heard me chuckling...nay cackling... in delight as I put the finishing touches on this one...SO MUCH FUN!

I love my job. 

This baby doll's head is a bead made by my friend Sarah. Isn't it awesome?! I have a few more so more creepy dollies will be accompanying my Ghastly girls. This one will be listed in the shop tomorrow after I get some photos done. Very appropriate for Halloween!

WIP Wednesday - Chaos Ensues

I'm a little embarrassed to show you my table today...it's definitely a mess. But a creative mess...right?

Hopefully there will be lots of dolls when the wreckage is cleared!

WIP Wednesday

Lots of new dolls on the table today! More pin dolls, a set of lavender babies, and a few Santas...also some new types of storybook dolls....whew! I'm  (finally) making a Wynken, Blynken, and Nod set, a Jack and Jill, an Anne of Green Gables and a Cinderella. Oh and another Ghastly girl, this one will have a doll with a super cool head made by my friend Sarah, I can't wait to show you! As you can see lots to do, so back I go to work!

Caw Caw!

          Hi all! I just wanted to share that I just added some crow girls to the shop.

I love these dolls. If you're a reader of this blog you know crows are special to me and these little sweeties are so cute, only 7" tall. Not the crow girls of Charles Delint's books (though one day I'd love to make a version of those!) but a softer sweeter version...my own! :)

And speaking of the shop, there are only 4 more days to take advantage of my 25% off sale. There won't be another sale this year so don't miss this one!

 

 

Autumnal Equinox Sale!

Happy happy Autumn everyone!! Fall is absolutely my favorite time of year...the cool, crisp, bright days; the smokey, tart smell of fallen leaves; and of course the amazing colors...what's not to love?! So in celebration it's time once more for the big Fall sale here at the Nest. 25% off everything in the shop starting today and ending September 30th...just use coupon code FANTASTICFALL when you check out. I don't have sales often so take advantage of this one while it lasts.

And please do feel free to share this about! I have lots of Fall fairies and witches in the shop as well as some garden pixies and this lovely lady...

      ...who would be so sparkly and beautiful in a Winter Holiday setting. So....

HAPPY AUTUMN!!!!!

Autumn Dolls

It's Autumn here at the Nest...well not really but the fairies being made are certainly trending that way! I just added 3 leaf pixies, 2 small witches and a larger Samhain fairy to the shop. Here's what you'll find!

I love the completely different expressions in these 2 photos...same doll just different angles. This is Jinx, the Samhain fairy who keeps the gates of Fairyland open on that special night. She's a bit young for the job but very determined to get it right.

and here are the other new little folks in the Nest...

 I hope you enjoy this taste of Fall...it cant come soon enough for me! :)

Still in the Dark..

A few more girls from the dark side this week...though I promise something a bit lighter next time. First up meet Miss Delilah Wintershorn...known as Lila to her friends both living and undead. She does wish she had more living friends, but sometimes she just gets SO hungry...

 And next is Katherine. She's been feeling very strange lately. Perhaps it's because of the nightmares...all knives and teeth and blood... they always leave her So tired. Maybe it's because all her friends have slowly begun disappearing... leaving her feeling very...well.. Angry! All she knows is that it started about the time she found her new dolly...the one whose dress is always stained no matter how much she washes it.

Both of these interesting ladies can be found in my shop ...along with some lighter fae folk like this little witch.

See I haven't gone totally to the dark side....yet.
