Ginny, ADO and TDP 2010

Shipping starts today for ADO's Traveling Doll Project 2010!! I am part of Team Boneca and my other team mate are the ever so talented Deena from http://www.fabbydolls.blogspot.com/ and Bari from http://www.fineartstudioonline.com/


They are both amazing doll makers and I am so lucky to be part of such this team:)

This is Virginia, Ginny for short, she will be making her way to see Bari first in Arizona, then in one months time off to see Deena in Michigan then back to me a finished doll!! I can't wait for her return so I can see what she has become!!

This is Wynn, I just love her already:) The ever so talented Deena will be working on Wynn first. There was some questions as to the gender of Wynn but I think SHE is a sweet soul just waiting to shine through!! But......who know until the end when Wynn returns home to the hands of Bari.....She is going to Deena first so by the time she/her gets to me things could change!! That is one of the things that make this wonderful project so much fun!!! I am so honored to be part of the project again this year!!! The first doll I will get is from Deena, now this is going to be somewhat of a challenge for me as I have never added the head to an already made body!! and an amazing body too I might add!! I am excited about this!! but a little nervous too...... I have so good ideas for this doll as I am sure Bari does too and it will be really interesting to see how she finishes:)





This project is soooo amazing!! Last year was the first year ADO did this project and this year it is bigger!! PLEASE follow the ADO blog to keep track of all the teams that are participating...

The Light In The Dark

Well the opening night of our gallery show went off without a hitch!! We named the show "The Light In The Dark" seemed fitting for all of our work:) The paintings you see in the gallery were done by two of my co-workers, Deb and Ryan. We figure we had 75 to 100 people through the gallery with in an hour!! We were happy with that considering the short time we had to put the show together...( about a week, with Christmas and all) The stands for the dolls we made two day before the show!!) I tried to rent some but that wasn't happening. It all worked out pretty good though and the feed back from the guests was AWESOME!! No sales that night but lots of inquiries and some people said they were going to have to decide which one they wanted. I also had a few people asking about commission work so hopefully I will hear from them and get some work:) We gathered next door at a cool lounge next door to the gallery for some wonderful hors D'oeuvres (?) and some mingling. All in all it was a really nice evening and fun was had by all!!

Thanks soooo mcuh for all your well wishes and support, it means alot to me:)

Tonight Is The Night!!

OMG, i feel a bit sick!! tonight is the opening of my FIRST gallery show and I am soooo nervous!!
I will post pics tomorrow and tell you all about ti:)

Yikes, I am sure most of you know how I feel so you can relate. Any advice on how to not look like a fool would be great!!! LOL

Sorry I have been neglecting my blog, I have just had so much on the go, after this weekend I will be sure to update. There is so many exciting things going on right now, with the traveling doll project with ADO and the One World One Heart with Lisa, to my show and so on!!

Monster, Ornie and Earnest Philip Samual

November's Mini Monthly Challenge was to make a doll using a foreign objest, I had this tiny hour glass that I wanted to use. Earnest Philip Samual (Earnie) was what came about. Poor little lad is worried about time marching on. Even at his young age he relizes that "Time Waits For No One"

ADO did an Ornament exchange for Christmas with a "secret santa" and LUCKY ME had Nicole from

Then to make me even luckier, for Zan's www.wildatheartart.blogspot.com monster swap........I got Nicole AGAIN!!! Man, how can one girl be soooooo lucky??? Just look at my swap!! If you thought my ornie was adorable, take a look at my monster and his girl:) How adorable are they???
