Zelda Close Up!

Ok, here she is completely finished now. I added just a few little pearls and added some shimmery paint which you really cant see in this photo. I also wired up her hair so you can see her arms better.

Thanks again for all your wonderful advise...

Newest Dotti Doll!

Here is my newest Dotti Doll. I named her Zelda because she reminds me of a wild cat. I took most of the day putting her together...I like to take my time...lol She has a belly button, ta ta's and a butt! I try to make all my dolls with butts...hehehe.. sometimes I can't!

Her face is painted with watercolors and acrylics. I outlined everything to add a little more detail. Can you believe I used a purple micron pigma pen to do that... I thought I grabbed a brown one. The lighting was not that great in my living room or I would have notice right away...but I think I like it this way! I have an ott light, but its in my dining room where I do most of my jewelry...oh well.. Oh, and I rubbed the tips of her hair walnut stain distress ink! I have more pictures of her that I will put up soon...

I'm debating if I should put a skirt on her or some kind of a tu-tu. I think I want to do a little more sparklies on her too... I would love to hear your input!

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween!!!!

Thanks...

Chris

Snowmen Earrings

Here is another one of my little creations. I think the snowmen are so dang cute with the black swavarski bead in the center for his scarf....

Santa Earrings......

Well...I was doing a little exploring the other day and found these cute Santa earrings....so I decided to go to the store and pick up the pieces to make them...once I was in the store...my mind was going and thinking....and I came up with my own style of Santa's.... I like my Santa's better..LOL

My Jewelry Display...

I was reading an email that I get frequently from one of the newsletters I receive on a regular basis, and finally decided it was time to add a photo of my displays to that website. So I submitted the photo with a little blurp and she loved it. So now my displays can be scene by those who visit her website. http://www.jewelry-display-ideas.com/wings-n-scales.html

Well...I am having lots of fun making the jewelry for my new website. This is one of the hostess choices... I still have a long ways to getting the site exactly like I want it..I am sooooo picky!!! Once the site is up and running, I will let you all know...Im so excited about it. I do hope it works. I will tell you more about it once it is put together. The hardest part is making the animations. Its so time consuming...but well worth it in the long run...Ok..enough of that...I best get to work. Time does not stop...

Here is a photo of my Button Fairy I made. Her wings curled up slightly when I put a high gloss sealer on it to make them shiny...but she still looks cute...hehehe I will definitely make more in the future...I bought all these buttons that were being discontinued so I need to put them to good use...

I started writing this little note and it grew and grew, and all it was about was griping about my ex-neighbor. Then I decided that nobody really wants to hear about that..its a waste of my time and energy to spend complaining about her. She moved, thought we wouldnt see her again...and she keeps on coming back. I dont know how to get rid of her...I feel bad for her since she doesnt have any family near. I dont want to talk bad about her and yet she is a pain! Oh well...such is life...I need to not think of her at the moment and focus on my own needs and not hers. Her problems are her problems and not mine right? Right.... So here I go again, writing a bunch of garbage....now to change the subject...Ahhhhh...

Ok, I have been busting my rump with my jewelry website...it is moving right along and I have high hopes to have it running in full bloom by October. So get ready...its going to be good! My biggest problem is I have so many ideas I dont know how to shut them off! But I amworking on that problem little by little..heheheh

My shoulder is not back to normal yet and I still am not able to do certain things..but I can do a whole lot more than I did before the surgery...progression is always a good thing!

I am still working on my glass bottle doll tutorial and plan on having that finished before October also.

I was reading on Doll Dreamers that they are doing another challenge, this time its on WIP's. And boy oh boy do I have plenty of those to work on....

I finally got one thing done...which is my Fairy Button Doll...I want to make more than one though...so I have to keep on putting those together too...

Ok, well...now that I got that all off my mind I can go eat breakfast...although its pretty darn close to lunch time...my pain free drugs are wearing off now and I am starting to function again...LOL

I will be putting a photo up of my cute little Fairy Button Doll some time today...I need to add a charm to her to finish her up...

More coming soon...thanks for taking your time to read all this...

Hugs...

Here is a photo of my Dotee Exchange Doll. I have not picked a name for her yet. I will wait til my mind can think a little more clearer. Its been a week tomorrow since my surgery. I am feeling better now. Its the most painful surgery I have had yet, and hope I dont have to go through this again. I am being good although I have bumped it a few times which I pray to God I dont do again. Good thing is I am able to go without my sling for hrs. at a time. Im getting better atyping with my left hand too....

I am still planning on creating an on line course as to how to make my glass bottle dolls. I have it in the makings and once I am able to type normal again, I will hsve it done in no yime. I will put a photo of her on the site once she is ready to be submitted....

more later...hugs,

Chris

Well, its done. My shoulder surgery is complete. There is nothing I can compare the pain with, all i know is that it really hurts a lot. The pain will shoot in it just as quick as it goes. I have not functioned since Wed. It seems to be more stiff now and feels better when i try to stretch it out some. Iknow it will get better and i cant wait til that day comes. more later
