Hope y'all enjoy her. This is a bit of a test, I'm enjoying this a lot though! I think more sculptures are in my future

I start by cutting a big handful of lengths of thick acrylic yarn. I knot them around a dowel, flat iron them, then start brushing them out with a slicker pet brush. You'll lose a lot of fibers, but keep it around for stuffing. Above is before and after brushing.

Not much to say about this one, other than I'm obsessed with the hands. These are gonna be HUGE Y'ALL!!! I'm so excited to see him come alive, I might start painting when I get back to town Sunday!
I can hear Death By Glamour every time I look at this sculpt!
Guys. The sheep and goat turned out so freaking good I might explode. I hope the bodies will turn out good too!!

These are a little bit of an experiment! I've been wanting to make something like these guys for a while, and here's my start!
Still recovering, but back at my desk!
Two things about me you probably know: I don't typically plan ahead when I make dolls, and I got a hysterectomy on Thursday. These two things together is making it really hard to have anything to show you guys! But I wanted to get my next art doll plans out of my head: some frilly little porcelain doll inspired guys based on the look of the lamb and goat masks I've made! I think they'll turn out really cute, and give me a much needed break from the type of dolls I've been making lately! I thi...

These things turned out so freakin cute. I'm gonna be keeping the white one to use as a reference to make more, I love how these little ladies are turning out!
I take those foam forms from last time and glue them down to some fleece, I cut them close but leave a tiny bit of room, where I hand stitch the pieces together for a smooth edge2024-01-31 21:21:58 +0000 UTC

You know the drill. Made some foil balls, covered with a few layers of clay, and sculpted on a chin

This one's getting made into a video for TikTok, so watch out for that!
Edit: that's a lie! TikTok is a terrible app and after trying to redo the video twice it fucked up in different ways so I'm probably giving up on making the video!
Started off with giving the thighs white covers to act as bare skin, plus underwear since she'll be wearing a short dress

I got my bodies whipped up- they're kinda different styles, but hey, it's all jazz baby
