The jewel thief....

My little fairy sifting through the vintage jewelry box which I inherited from my great aunt.
Her dress is off a mini Dal ballerina doll, which I just dyed with regular food colouring (on impulse, while doing my Easter eggs).

Roro's new (again) faceup....

I've had this girl for just over 2 years now....and seriously, I still have no idea what to do with her. I *think* I want her to be some sort of sugarplum fairy or a tooth fairy..... SO here is her new facie, done by me, and franky, I think I'm improving at faceups.

BtW- the lint on her face is not stuck in the faceup, that blasted white 'carpet' is a magnet for every hair and flecka in a 2 mile radius.

Here is.....whatever her name is....with some eyes that I hate but were the only ones I had lying around. She's evolving!

The Pumpkin house....

Ok, well I have been toying with ideas for making a home for my Realpuki Roro, Ghost.
And I can't help it, even though it's been done....I want to make a pumpkin house.
Luckily, we had a crap-ton of halloween decorations boxed up, and I found a nice big pumpkin to carve up.

I wanted the inside to look like an actual dried out pumpkin, so I concocted this recipe of acrylic texture paste, craft sand, yellow and cream paint, and some pastel dust:

So I mixed it up and smeared it on:

And then added some pastel dust for effect, just scraped 2 shades of orange onto the paper with a blade, and then I gently blew it into the wet....'recipe':

And here it is, dried, with the cardboard beginnings of the stone fireplace (which I worked on today and will post pics of very soon- its AWESOME). I really like the colour, and am VERY excited about this project!:

Give it another shot....

Blogging that is.
Maybe just something as simple as a photo- from my new camera.

here is my new favorite photo ever.
