After a week away...

There was much going on on ebay this past week. Ebay is making some major changes to their policies and many people are in an uproar over it. There was a week long boycott last week and I am grateful its over. Well, some folks are continuing with it- but I don't see the logic in that. After all, ebay will be able to do as it wishes- and we are there as players.
At any rate, I spent the week creating Daigon, an Avairy fairy! She is adorned in brilliant feathers and rich fabrics of blue and purple. Loved doing her- trying some different techniques in the process. Hope everyone is safe and warm! Still pretty cold here. Hoping for spring!

A Pin Up style fairy- to tempt you! ;)

This is Hayden Elyse- a Pin Up style fae. I was pretty pleased with her, I think her body is among the best I've done to date. With each piece, we try to improve and it is an ongoing process. You can see more photos of Hayden by clicking on the small thumbnail photo off to the left...

"Flower Fairies" Kaela, 1ST in a Series for 2008

Who could resist the innocent little face? I couldn't. Meet Kaela, the first Flower Fairy of 2008. What fun it is to create these whimsical little beings. Her garment is made from silk petals, (of course!) and her little undergarment is reminiscent of the bubble suits of the 1950's. I am dating myself now, that's for sure!
I hope you can take a peek at her on eBay, the link is off to the left. Still blistering cold here- coldest winter I remember in a long time. Farmer's Almanac predicted colder and more snow than usual for this winter- boy were they right! Have a good week-

Wild Fairy--

This week I bring to you, Qitarah, wild and free-a Feral Fairy. It was fun to try something entirely different this time- and she is. Her skin is tanned and she is speckled with hundreds of freckles. Her piercing green eyes seem to look right through you. Beware- she could be lethal!

While these photos don't depict it- the weather here is still so darn cold, it's nearly impossible to be outdoors for any length of time. Especially with bare hands, trying to focus and hold a camera steady! I'll sure be glad when this terrible cold weather breaks. It's been about 20 below at night. ENOUGH ALREADY! WE GIVE!!!!!

We're knee deep in snow...

...and these mischievous little imps are EVERYWHERE. Snow Pixies love to frolic in the snow-they make icy spots on the sidewalks so you have to be careful! You can hear them giggling when someone falls down. NOT very nice. Oh well, they migrate north when our weather warms up. Poor Canadians! ;)

We're ba-a-a-a-k!

Hello! Well, it's a new year and I already feel like I've accomplished a great deal! I finally got my website all updated- it was March when I did it last. No excuses- just didn't take the time to finish it. It went well this time, no problems so maybe I won't be so intimated next time. That's why blogging is so much easier! :)

I have a new listing starting this evening on ebay- the first for 2008. I am really proud of her. Sharia is her name.

I hope you like her! She wears tiny gold leaves temporarily over her breasts since ebay frowns on showing bare breasts. Here is a photo of her without those leaves....

I am also making progress on my commission list. I will write more about that later...

Hugs, Deb

Season's Greetings, All!

Well, here's my cheery bunch after dinner but before gifts were opened. They are patient for a little while, but it seems Grandma is always pushing the limits! At least little Jamison is still smiley!

Seriously, we had a great time- all the kids were here for the weekend and it was sure fun! Love seeing the little ones with their packages- but truthfully, the big kids seem to have just as much fun!

I'll be back in a day or two- and will try to be more forthcoming with posts here in the new year. 2008. Can you believe it's the new year already! WOW.....

Meet Andi...

Meet Andi! Isn't she a soft vision of femininity....

She waited many weeks for me to come back to her as she stood patiently on my desk. I think she was worth waiting for! I am including a couple photos of her before she was dressed. I fully sculpt my work even if they are going to be costumed. It just seems right to do it that way...

Hope you're staying warm!! We're being buried under several feet of snow here- brrrrrrrr!

Deb

With the Holidays fast approaching...

...and in true form for myself, I am trying to see just how much I can jam into one month! Typical, I guess! Everyone seems to be extra busy this time of year.

We got snow early- and it's been cold enough to keep it on the ground too so this is even more incentive for me to stay home and stay focused. Happily so!

This week I have two listings on ebay, Caleigh, a fairy that sits on the edge of a glass star....



And Sister Mary Martha, AKA Sister Mary Motorin' who has managed to secure a motorcycle for the Convent! What fun, huh? Gosh, I love my "job"! Have a good week- I will be back soon...
Deb

I seem to be meeting myself, coming and going...

But I am doing my best. Just headed out again for a day or so- but before I leave I wanted to share Tiffy with you! She comes each year about this time- she comes to gather the last of the flower seeds for spring planting! I think she is just adorable. I hope you will too!

I will be back soon to post more photos and to tell about the fun stuff going on here in the studio. Until then, have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone! Hugs, Deb

Just home from the ADSG Meet and Greet in Indy!

Just got home last night from our get together in Indianapolis- the first ever Meet and Greet for artists and collectors from the Art Dolls Sculpture Group through ebay. We had a blast! There were 16 of us altogether. I was asked to teach mini classes at this event- so it was busy and lots of sharing took place. Several of the gals didn't want their photos taken- so one of our organizers came up with the perfect solution. Below you will see our official 'Group Photo'. Too funny~

And here is a photo of Helen and me- Helen is an avid fairy collector and has about 30 of my fairies in her collection. I tease her and tell her I think she 'stopped counting' at 30. She has over 400 one of a kind sculptures from several different artists- a very avid collector indeed! Such fun and so nice of her to come and join us It was great to put faces and voices to the typed words we have been sharing for a few years now...Thanks everyone!

Photos are so darn tough to do, ya know???

Here we are again...struggling to get the best photos we can. Of course light and wind and weather plays such a vital part. This is Sebastia, and she is a Sentry Fairy, guiding the young fae of the forest safely along their way. She raises her lantern high- lighting the path for a safe journey.

I hope tomorrow affords me a better opportunity to take pictures. I did get a new camera- and I am still figuring that out as well. Someday~~~~~
