Flower-Power

When I'm bored I create fur flowers, and while creating them I envision the coat they'll go on. This OOAK jacket and hat are entirely made of sheared and full, Brown Cross Mink.

~Most Elaborate Cape~

Just finished my most elaborate fur ensemble. It took me almost a week and I worked a couple of hours per day, trying to put the pieces together in different ways. It started out as a capelet, then I thought, wouldn't it be nice if it had sleeves, how about a train? and a big collar, a hat , a muff? lol So I ended up with a long cape with a very long, rounded train. I'm very pleased with the results, and I think my Syb is happy too:)

~Fantasma is back home!~

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!!

~Syb Glamour~

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 Mink~

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!

~Butterfly Wings~

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!

~SD Fantasma, in Brown Grooved Mink~

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 Monroe's White Fox Boa~

Marilyn loved her furs, especially the white ones!

~~The Lady is Certain-ly Stylish~~

"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.

~~Black Tibetan/Mohair Wig for Sushi~~

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!
