Late January Hello!

 Well, the holidays got the best of me.

Between festivities, work, customs, and general duties, I did not update my blog, website, and even fell off my Sunday eBay auction routine :( 

But I am back now, and I have a sneak peek of the next 2 Sunday auctions! Also, a bit of insight into my current projects, which were also taking up more time than I thought they would (my bad).

First, the fresh new arts- this upcoming Sunday (February 2) I will be listing "Pebble Pixie" for auction on eBay with a starting bid of $8.50:


and Sunday, February 9 will be "Cherry Blossom Fawn", same place, same starting bid:

Generally I post them around 11am PST, though sometimes I am running a bit late...it depends on the work day (yes, I work weekends and I list things from my phone).  

So, I have not updated my website/galleries with any new art or dolls, though I do have some that I need to get to (we will get back on the website update train in Feb!) A few new dolls, a few new fantasy creatures...and hopefully some stuff in my etsy shop! 

I have decided to use the etsy shop for dolls and doll related items, with a few art prints sprinkled in here and there.  Been working on shoes- tiny shoes, teeny tiny spike heels, block heels, even some object heels...sandals. socks. and sewing some basic clothing items- little t shirts, tank tops, skirts. Bodysuits. More socks. Brainstorming a lot more stuff and scribbling it down frantically. My studio is a mess, I have to move things to work on other things. There is NO space anymore, so I am really just focusing on getting these tiny fashion parts perfected and catalogued for selling. But here is a picture of one sandal prototype:


Apologies for the disembodied feet- they are clay, no dolls were harmed for this particular project. In fact, two of them got lovely pedicures in exchange for assisting me ;) Lots of time sculpting, forming patterns, sanding, waiting for things to dry, refitting, sanding again...yeesh.

I suppose that is it for now. Surviving winter, tinkering in my studio, just living my simple life and being thankful for being able to do that.
Many hugs
xo!
Emily

 Oopsies, it's been two years... I've been making art that whole time, but keeping up with all the online stuff is just not my forte. I don't even mess with social media anymore- a decision that was made for my mental health, and you know what? RECOMMEND. Anyhow, a quick update- I have hashed out a schedule for updating my "online presence" on a regular basis- once a month I will update my art galleries , my blog, and my web shop with art, prints, news, dolls, whatever I have going on.  Hopefully, I will not fall off again and disappear into the void. Here are some custom dolls I've made (and since sold) in the past two years: These ladies, along with others, will be added to my doll gallery eventually. I am *really* behind with the updates, y'all. I do apologize.  Oh, what else...I have been considering re-opening my etsy shop, I am hesitant, because is it necessary? Another thing to keep tabs on...I'm not sure yet. In the case that I do decide to, ...

August update- Flora the Fawn

Image
 So, hello! This update is doll heavy, fair warning. For one thing, I have updated my custom doll gallery on the website- some new faces are there to be seen now! Not all the finished dollies are up there yet, like I keep saying I am behind with the updates (like, a YEAR behind) and I have a lot of art. But more so, I just don't want to be spending all my art time updating my website. I know that's hOw YOu mAKe MONey but I am still only mildly enticed by that sentiment.  Anyway, new dolls to behold can be found on my Doll Gallery  page- clicking on the thumbnails will bring you to their individual pages with more photos, a little write up, and details on outfits, shoes, and accessories. I also have a freshly finished doll that I've just listed for auction on eBay- HERE . Her name is Flora, and she is one of two sisters, the other will be coming along in a few weeks.) She is a very sunny fawn girl- I had this urge to go with a cottagecore theme. So here is a quick look at ...

Monster High Lagoona Lalaloopsy Doll, ACEO Sunday sneak peek, ++ ramblings

 Uggh, hiii So...currently existing in a haze of frustration of myself. Well, I'd say it's more like a mist. Not too thick, just...annoying. Yes, I am annoyed at being continuously frustrated with myself. Does that make any sense? Who knows. SO, I have FINISHED some dolls! Emily the Strange is complete and pretty much ready to find a new home- I need to draft a listing for her, though I suspect I may run into a weird copyright issue trying to list her on eBay. I've already had issues trying to get her Certificate of Authenticity made up. (ramble happening) Normally, I order out for the doll COAs, as I wanted a nice, smooth, perfect looking card. However, the place I order from is refusing to print up her COA as it goes against their copyright policies...Fine, I will print one up myself, fiiine, ughhh.   Oh, the printer is out of ink. Right-o, I have another cartridge ready to go. Oh, well, it doesn't recognize the black cartridge. Cool, coolcoolcool. So, I am currently ...
