Papillion-a butterfly fairy with a stained glass accent lamp

Hello again! Well, in spite of being so busy with my daughter and her new business venture, I still do find time to be in the studio. I think I would go crazy if I wasn't able to! It's just such a part of my life. This is Papillion- which is French for Butterfly. I thought it was a fitting name for her. Hope you enjoy seeing her!

Back with a new wee fae! Sweet-Heart!

I have been gone so much lately! Finally I have been able to be in the studio for a bit- this is Sweet-Heart- and she is tucked into a darling handpainted china dish I found while out antiquing one day. Love those vintage and antique shops, don't you? I thought it would look good with her sitting outside the dish and fill the dish with Hershey's Kisses or some other prettily wrapped candy. Why not, right?

I am working on several new pieces right now- and using them to prepare for the online classes I will be teaching starting this month. Be watching for more information!

Happy Spring!

My newest work....

This is Marta--curvy and sensual. My latest offering on ebay! Her listing starts this evening and runs until Sunday evening.

Been gone a bunch this month- traveling has been fun but it's time now to buckle down and get back to work! :)

Some slideshows of photos from our recent IDEX show

Back from IDEX

Well, it was a great trip! I'm so glad I decided to take some extra time to enjoy the Florida weather. It was fantastic every day we were there! The IDEX show was great fun as well- we had several artists participating in our booth. Thank you to all of you who made the trip to be there and make a great showing! I am working to download the photos and will create a slide show to share.

If anyone is interested in joining our group, there is much to see and learn at the International Art Doll Registry. http://www.international-art-doll-registry.com/ Come and check us out!

OMGosh, I can't believe it's been this long!

Well, I need to get a whipping with a wet noodle. I've been away from my blog for months now! Such a busy time... my daughter started her own business in November and I've been helping her with that- then she got married on January 1st so we had that to prepare for.. but really, that's no excuse for not checking in here with my blog friends!

Now my attention is fixed on the IDEX show in Orlando at the end of the month, I am looking forward to spending a few weeks in the warm temps of Florida and meeting many of my fellow artists at the beautiful Rosen Shingle Creek hotel and show. Then from there I head off to California for another dose of warm weather, then to Las Vegas! I cannot wait! Such fun!! and it will make this long cold snowy winter fly by. In the meantime, I have one teacup fairy listed on ebay, my only listing for January. This is Leighton!

Thank you for continuing to follow my work- and my hectic life! I've got more news to share, but will do that next time.

Hugs! Deb
