Gothic Little Red Riding Hood

She's finished!

Crazy Life

I've been crazy busy lately. I finished the Woman at the Well ages ago...well 2 months ago, but I need to take some good pictures. I'm not very good at taking pictures.
I've been working on a whole new doll. It's Little Red Riding Hood done in Gothic style. She carries a basket holding the head of the wolf. Her look is very sweet, but there are a few details to show that she's not one to be trifled with! She's almost finished. I have some finishing touches to make, and when they're done I'll post pictures of her. I tried a new technique, cloth over clay, which I really like. I used the tutorial that Susie McMahon was kind enough to post in her picture trail. You can view that here:

I am a great fan of her art.
I am currently working on a kimono. It's a costume for a ballerina, and expect to finish that by Monday. So Little Re dis on hold, but I'll show to teaser pics.
She will be fore sale in my Etsy shop, and I will post a link to her when she's ready.

A Gothic Bride doll

A friend of mine asked me to make her a doll that was inspired by her wedding. Her colors are very reminiscent of Halloween; black, white, orange and purple. She sent me a picture of a Blackeyed Suzie doll. I love the work of this artist, but our styles are really different. She told me she would be wearing a mini top hat, and that she wanted the doll to be holding an umbrella or bird cage. She likes the Gothic look. My cell phone pictures are very poor, but they give you an idea of what she looks like.
I used feathers for her hair. I am pleased with the effect. The bird cage is made from paper clips and clay.
