PNW BJD Expo!

 I should have posted about this a long time ago but obviously I am struggling to keep up with life, "work" and the blog!

But...I am happy and healthy so all is well.

The Pacific Northwest Ball Jointed Expo has moved from Seattle, Washington to Portland, Oregon and for the first time ever, I am going!  

I've not been to a ball jointed doll show so this will be an amazing experience.  

HERE is the show information and it starts tomorrow, Friday May 20, 2022 with a desert get-together.  

I haven't shared my doll collection for a while but I have been collecting ball jointed dolls.  They are as much fun to me as all of my other dolls.  When I climbed the ladder to where most of mine live on top of storage shelves in my work studio, I asked, "who wants to go?"  Ted E Bear gave a very prominent 

"MEEEEEEE!!!!!"

How could I resist that face???  

So he is packed along with one of each size of my "kids" so that I can be sure that clothing, shoes and accessories fit.  This is going to be so much fun!

My beautiful friend, Kathy Arnold made an amazing bag as a gift to me that protects ball jointed dolls during transport.  I will feel like a queen taking that gorgeous bag onto the show room floor!  I expect to see her there and can't wait to hug her neck!  

Have a wonderful weekend!

Artfire is no more~Mohair selling site gone!

 I had a customer inquire on mohair 2 weeks ago.  

I went to my Artfire selling site so get the link for the mohair I have on hand and Artfire was shut down!

Apparently the owners have moved onto other endeavors.

So, I need some time to get myself organized and get my mohair listed on my website until I find another site that will work well for selling.

In the meantime, if you need mohair, I will work with you on a personal basis to share what I have in stock.

New blank baby in the studio!

 I had an interesting beginning to my new year as I had a hard fender-bender with a semi truck.  

I am fine and my mother, who was with me, is fine too.  

She went into a rehab facility where they tended to her bruises and I began some massage body work therapy this week.  I feel SO much better so I am ready to get back to work.

I have been working off and on rooting a head that has been painted for a while.  I hope to get him finished and offered before I start paint on this sweet little girl and the Charlotte prototype FBS by Lilianne Breedveld near the end of next week.

This is blank Cookie, sculpted and poured by Elsie Rodriguez.

Her face is so irresistible!

She IS available to reserve!
