Dolls and doodles










































































































Hi everyone!Here are some of the new dolls I have been working on and thought I would share some photos of their progress with you.Also,just for fun I thought I would let you have a peek at doodles,drawings of bears and kitties I have in my head that I draw before making the final pattern for a bear or friend.(some of them might look familuar as they are drawings of some of my actual bears&kitties!)I guess I am a compulsive doodler as I have tons of notebooks with my drawings lol!The little clay sculpture in the sculpey box has been in progress for a couple of weeks now,and as you can see I have a drawing of her to study as I sculpt her.The poor dolly with the white body is also in progress,holding another head that is currently in the making.Also shown in the photos are two painted cloth folk dolls with sweet little expressions.They are a one piece design and are completely handpainted,including their dresses.I have to admit I have a soft spot for this style of doll and have created many of them during my dollmaking years.I also have some pressed cloth faced dolls that I will be adding pics of in the near future,along with some new bears and friends very soon!Thanks so much for taking a peek at my updates~~~~Sharie~~~~~****please note,all drawings are not to be copied as they are my original designs and are copyrighted by me~~~thank you
