Work in Progress Stone Clay Baby

 It has been a very long time since I have had my hands in clay.As long as you keep it damp you can work it almost forever. I also find that I tend to "Paint" with the clay for my detailing.
  This little baby ..when completed will be a full sculpt to be molded ( by my daughter) and cast in Ecoflex 20 ( or 30 )...I do the sculpting and my daughter, Mary, is the engineer in all this..( which works for me)
   Again, as I have mentioned before, when in the "doll business" there is always something for everyone. I continue to do my doll repairs and bjd's but really wanted to try my hand at the baby end of it...I did'nt want to do any reborns ( although I think they are wonderful)...I just wanted to create something that would have never existed unlesss I purchased that 10 lb. block of clay....
     Will keep everyone posted....      

Wendy Feidt Handmade Mohair Wigs

   






       In the wonderful world of dolls we are fortunate enough to work with some of the finest people in the world. Passionate about their art and their willingness to share.
        The doll makers, restoration artists, wig makers, cobblers, clothiers..so on and so forth...
        Among this delightful group is the creator of these wigs...In my opinion, they are among the finest mohair wigs anywhere...This amazing artist is Wendy Feidt....She has many sizes, colors and styles to chose from..Each and everyone is meticulously handmade using the finest English Mohair....But as with mostly everything creative and handcrafted there is one minor drawback... There is a waiting list...She does have some immediately for sale but the larger and more intricate styles are mostly made -to-order ...Please treat yourself to a visit on her web site..www.mohairdollwigsbywendyfeidt.com
