urgh....

.......my life is so busy right now. i've had zero time to sew and i'm getting behind. the plan is to sew on this coming sunday for a couple hours and bust out a few little dolls. i looked at my schedule and realized that october is not a good sewing month, too much other stuff.........but i'll try.....

eeza (#23)

here is eeza, based off a drawing my boyfriend did. he has a few sketches i want to turn into creatures (my boyfriend, not eeza).

if you have any drawings of creatures for inspiration, please e-mail them to me: onehundreddolls@gmail.com

godfrey (#22)

godfrey says "thank you charlotte for your old face"

whoa, i just had very strong deja vu. 
i'll explain about the faces: godfrey's face was originally on charlotte, whom i was creating as a commission, but the colors weren't right, so i took the face/body off of charlotte, added a moustache and ears and turned it into godfrey's new face and created a new face for the charlotte doll.

charlotte (#21)

introducing charlotte.... first known as sally, but then her face was changed and integrated into another doll......here was her first face....

now after a little nip tuck....

ps

what's the difference between dark forest green and dill pickle green?

updated photos

i want to start with a picture of leila in her gift box, all wrapped up and ready to go. it reminds me of a coffin.

for doll number 19, i found the pieces to a doll i had started months ago and then forgotten about. i finished him (aka "bill") while watching the movie "frozen", which is not a very accurate title. it should really be called (spoiler alert!!): "eaten alive by a pack of wolves". 

yum. 

he kind of looks like a washed out clown, but i still love him. 

and doll number 20. this doll is "the love monster", i was inspired by a critter thing that my friend becca made and by a book from the library called "stuffed creatures for immature adults", side note: why is it "immature" adults? why can't you just enjoy weird looking creatures. is it the stuffing? what about all those adults who collect rooms full of porcelain dolls? urgg, creepy. oh, pardon me, it's called "curious creatures for immature adults". mmmmmm, moving on. 

i'm giving the love monster to a friend whose having a rough go at it right now and needs love. i tried to think loving thoughts the whole time i was making him, which resulted in me getting the song "the lovebug" stuck in my head. here's a link so you can get it stuck in your head as well. enjoy!:

okay, now i must must work on a doll i was meant to start on tuesday. good thing it's raining.

i'm still alive....

hey there, i haven't fallen off the planet, or gotten lost in a cave, or lost part of my mind and forgotten how to type or sew.... i have sewn two dolls recently and at a current count of 20 i am only slightly off schedule. it's raining here and i have a head cold so pictures will be uploaded shortly. thank you for your patience.
