WIP Shelf Sitter Pictures

Here goes, she still needs hands and a neck, along with being sanded
and all kinds of tough ups, to make sure everything is evened out.
Her body, and head need to be sealed back together. I still need
figure how to shape her joints. Then on to painting her. I need to
make her joints work. Her hair will look like horns made of  red mohair..
I hope to have  her put together by next weekend, then on to
clothing her. I will also name her this week sometime.
I know that her body doesn't have to be perfect, but I seem to                                                                be my worse critic. I think, i'm doing pretty good with out instruction.
I will add more pictures after I get her together.
Have a great weekend.

WIP Shelf Sitter

Hi everyone, the suns has been shining here today so far, spring is on it's way.
Well I have almost finished sculpting her body parts, I still have her ears and
hand to do, if I don't get them finished, I will post pictures of what progress
I have made later. I'm not sure if I am going to string her yet, seemings I do 
not know for sure what I am doing with no instruction, I order a book on how 
 to make a BJD, but it has not arrived yet, so this little gal is taking on her own
shape, oh well, I just hope she turns out to the way I imagine her at least from my
drawing or my artistic brain, but we artists know that our creation normally take
on there own form and so far she's wanting to be stringed. Ok off I go to photograph
some pictures of her. Will post later tonight. Everyone have a great day.

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone

put together.

Northville Historical Park, Michigan

I have been looking for this photo for sometime, now that I have found it I
am going to post it so I know where it is just in case the computer crashes.
The photo was taken at Northville Historical Park, behind the Mill Race Village,
at 215 Griswold, Northville, Michigan, the same park where the
Ghoultide Gathering use to be. Which has been moved to Chelsea Fairgrounds
20501 Old US-12 Hwy, Chelsea, Michigan October 5th & 6th 2012

WIP Shelf Sitter, BJD, Sculpture, Fabric Art Drawings

I Really need to get busy making these different art dolls, I have to get the shelf sitter done
first she is going to Ca for the March Shelf Sitter Challenge. 
Which I  pull out my drawing book, that dates back aways, because I know that one of these drawings  need to come to life. Most of my drawings are gothic,  So here goes.

                                 1st one is Ardat Lili, she will be a shelf sitter or a BJD,
she will be dressed in red and white which will lace up her upper back and then the lower side and back there will be lots of layers of white lace or sheer fabric, then one layer of red crush or silk fabric flowing from her back side.
Ardat Lili will have red hair hanging from her horns, also a red or white chain hanging from one of her ears, she will have redish eyes, red and black lips, white skin with her veins showing through. She will have vintage boots that will be white leather with red trim and buttons. White lace stocking with red string through them and her arms will match, also puffy shoulders.  At each joint I will use a red rhinestone with silver bead that will have a red string going through the bead if she is the shelf sitter other wise the jointed area will be clay for the BJD .  Less than a month to get her done.

                                       2nd Kalista will be Fabric and Clay or just a sculpture,

I need to redraw her with these wings or just add them on the page, I have to decide what I want to put into her hand.

I also need to design her clothing which will be in black leather , I think..
