I called for the ambulance!

On Thursday morning my mama was just not acting like herself so I dialed 911 to have the ambulance come.

They were very quick and the EMT's were awesome!

Mom was taken to the ER and later admitted to the hospital.

The culprit to her incident was low sodium.

Her levels are back up now and she's like a spring chicken again!

Now I know what the signs are for that and looking back, the signs had been there for most of the time since she has been here.  Well, now I know!  

She was released on Friday afternoon so needless to say, I did not get any work done on prototype Purdey on Thursday and Friday.  

I have a short appointment this morning then I'll be back in the studio.  

She's looking AWESOME and I am getting close to being done with the paint on her head.  

Her body is a bit behind since I can only work on it one side at a time whereas I can work on the whole head at one time.  

Her outfits are in progress at the seamstress and I am getting SO excited!

Hugs for Monday!

Surprise! Some painting in progress pictures!

I had good light in the right place to snap a few pictures of the painting progress of Purdey without moving her.

Of course, she's not put together (head is dismantled) and she has no eyes in but I thought you might enjoy seeing the color change from the original silicone to now.  

These were before I did my work yesterday so she has even more color today.

This picture shows the difference between the unpainted ball-joint neck and the progress work on the chest/shoulder of the torso. 

It's an outie belly button!

Oh that sweet face!

 I love the nails on this sculpt!

Continuing work today  :)

No photos yet on Purdey

Even though I do not have any progress pictures on Purdey, things are going well with her "birth".

Unless I feel I need to wash her to remove the lint that comes from...well...everywhere!, I won't be taking any progress pictures of her until she is bathed before her matting begins.  

That's how it is with silicone.  If she's remaining clean (and I do everything possible to keep her clean through the process) I won't give up the time to work on her to stop and photograph her then have to bathe her from the photo session.  

But....things ARE going well  :)

Such a sweet, sweet baby!

Purdey has her first bath

Full Body Silicone "Purdey" needed to be bathed before I can begin painting her.

Ahhhh...why not have a little fun with it and take some pictures??  :)

Artists, there are just THREE blanks of Purdey left for purchase through Lilianne Breedveld-Deres.

She is a petite 18 inches long.

This prototype is poured in Eco 20.  

Painting begins today! 

Please meet blank Purdey :)

She has arrived and she is ADORABLE!!!

She is such a petite, sweet thing!

Today she has her first bath.  

More pictures tomorrow!

Today is the day that Purdey will arrive!

I am so excited that I can hardly stand it!

I have seen her blank silicone pictures from Claire that were given to Lilianne but oh....

to have her in my arms and studio is a feeling to behold.

Hopefully I'll have pictures to share tomorrow!

Hugs,

Debbie

She's here, she's here!

No, not Purdey or Luna yet but my MOM is here!

I've had some very super busy days getting her settled and going to appointments, but today will be better.  I expect to have her fully settled by the first of the week AND have my gardens tucked in for the winter.

We have had freezing nights for the last several nights...it is that time.

I have not heard yet when Purdey will arrive and I'm waiting to have Luna poured until I know about Purdey.  

In the meantime, I have lots of beautiful angora mohair available!

~SEE MOHAIR HERE~

Time to get those winter and Christmas babies rooted!

Hugs and love
