Fantasma, my beautiful SD Lishe is back home after getting a face up! I cannot get over how gorgeous she looks, and I cannot wait to start sewing for her again.
Face up was done by my good friend Michele Jo Hunt of JOBE Art. Thanks Michele, you are the BEST!!
I would love to play with dolls all day, but... life gets on the way... I have been busy with different things and haven't had time to keep up with my blog, but hopefully I will be doing some catching up now..
Sushi is one of my favorite dolls! She's the only Sybarite I own, she's so delicate that I was afraid to play with her at first. But I got over it fast! I love the way she poses and I dress her only in the most luxurious furs. Today, she's wearing Chinchilla!
Cissy in Sapphire (light silvery gray) Mink. Photo sent to me by a client/friend. I'm always pleasantly surprised to see how much better my furs look when worn by my clients' dolls. Some of these dolls are just drop dead gorgeous!
I used to call this multi color sheared beaver, "Peacock", but a customer pointed out that it looks more like "Butterfly Wings". She was right, and that's what I call it since!
My Fantasma again, wearing a brown grooved mink coat with fox collar. I haven't seen her in a while, as she's still getting a face up, and I miss her... I wonder if I should still call her Fantasma after the face up...
Marilyn loved her furs, especially the white ones!
"The Lady is Certain", Bette Davis, comes wearing a faux fur, over this elegant form fitting outfit. When I saw it I realized that my Cafe-au-Lait Mink has very similar shades to her faux mink, and I got to work right away! A customer asked for two tails hanging at the front and, voila! I have said this many times, but I'll say it again: my customers have the best ideas and are a true inspiration to me!
"Cafe-au-Lait" color has been achieved by taking mahogany brown mink and bleaching it.
I love Mohair wigs! Not only are they fun to create, they're even more fun to play with! I can spend hours, just trying on different styles, and adding different embellishments!
I have created this set for Cissy three or four times in the past, around the Holidays. I find it suits her style very well. I love creating little fur flowers, like the one on her hat.
The set is made of black persian lambe and natural sable.
A simple Golden Sable Touch, is just what's needed to transform a simple outfit to the most exquisite statement piece!
I love this Bette Davis doll! Her outfit is the perfect background for many of my furs~~more to come later on:)
