Two New Little Ones

What can I say? I am still working on customs and have neglected my blog yet again! I was knocked off my feet for a little over a week from some sort of illness, but luckily I am back up and at it again now, and feeling much better.


I just finished limbs for another little one last night. They still need to be sanded and painted, but they are finally sculpted! I also finished another two babies a little while ago and since I had them here at the same time, I took a few photos of them together. I'll share one of them with you here... a sound little sleeper and a cranky little fellow. It looks a bit like a fist fight is about to errupt in this picture though! :)

A Quick Update

Hello!!

I have had a couple of people email me in the last few days asking where I have disappeared to! I apologize for not writing in my blog as of late. I have been working many long hours on some custom sculpts trying to get caught up here. I have made lots of progress with them, but still have a ways to go yet. I do hope to have a new baby available in the coming weeks for sale. I also have plans to finally get at working on a kit doll. So, for all the reborners out there that have been asking when one will be available... with any luck, this winter!

For those of you on my mailing list... do not worry, you are still on my list! You have NOT missed any dolls! I have not had any available for awhile. :) I do appreciate you checking in and your continued interest! It is always good to hear from everyone.

Take care,
Natalie

Summer

Nearing the end of summer already and I've neglected my blog again! I have been busy travelling and working on more custom orders. I flew out west to visit my sister, brother-in-law, niece and nephew. We went camping in the rockies together... what beautiful scenery! It was nice to see them and spend time together. I also travelled up north to go camping and canoeing for a few days. The weather didn't cooperate too much with that trip unfortunately, but it was still nice to get away and enjoy the solitude up there. I am posting a couple of pictures from my trips to share.

Miss Mia

I have been busy travelling this past week, and am finally back and settled for a couple of weeks before I am off again. I am trying to enjoy the rest of the warm weather before the cold reappears here.

My little custom girl is named and now off to her mommy. Here she is ... little miss Mia.

A Peek at Little Miss

I have finally finished this little miss, (still no name for now), and she is now at my mom's waiting to get her outfits made. She is a tiny little one compared to the last ones I have made... just barely 8 inches long. I took a few pictures of her right after I painted her. She did not have a body yet and I just placed her pieces in a dress, (which is far too large for her), for these pictures. I thought I would share her like this anyways. :)

Long Lost

I can't believe so much time has gone by since my last posting! So much has been going on here as of late that has kept me either away from sculpting, or going slowly. I spent such a long time working on the limbs for this little girl... trying to improve on my arms and legs as I went. I sculpted and resculpted both the arms and legs several times. It wasn't a total waste of time, as I learned from each one that I decided to take apart again. :) I was lucky enough to have a couple of friends send me pictures from all different angles of legs and arms from the same baby to help me in my quest to improve. These pictures helped immensely and I look forward to the future when I can improve even more!

In the next couple of days I will be sanding and painting this little girl and then she will be ready to be outfitted. I shall share her with you all as soon as I can!

After an extremely hot week near the beginning of the summer, it has cooled right off here. It is unusually cool for our summers here, but it does make it easier to sculpt... so I won't complain about the coolness from that point of view! :) I have been enjoying the flowers and green grass that this summer has to offer as opposed to the burnt grass and desolate flowerbeds that are usually common this time of year from the heat. Here are a few pictures I have taken in the last little while...

I will write again soon!

Little Miss

Before I left on my trip, I started on a custom order that I agreed to do awhile ago. I didn't get very far before I left, so when I got Emilio up on Ebay, I went back to work on that one. I finally finished the head for her late last night. She is now patiently awaiting her limbs so she can finally go home to her mommy who has been waiting so long for her. She is much daintier looking than Emilio... it is fun to put her head next to him and see the difference. It looks like a 5-6lb baby next to an 8lb one. My nephew, (the one that I used the pictures of to sculpt Emilio), was an 8 pounder, so I guess that seems right! :) This newest little one does not have a name yet, so I am just calling her "Little Miss".

I will post pictures soon....
