Hello everyone! I am so sorry it has been MONTHS since I have posted! I will not be so neglectful from now on I promise! I have just been so hard at work on my prototype for RESIN production! My first! Here is a few preview shots of her unpainted...she is actually two dolls...Monday and Tuesday, they are very goth twins (and have a famous older sister). They were loosely inspired by the illustrative work of my good friend Mab Graves (with her approval of course). She did a wonderful illustration of them which I then just had to translate into dolls!
I will post more pictures of my twins in other posts but just had to share some quick snap shots! There are two dolls, as I said, so there are two face plates. The one pictured here is Tuesday. I will post pics of Monday as well, later on. I don't want to spill all the beans right away. It is exciting! Not long now and they will be winging their way off to the factory for production! It will be a few months before the finished results are back and I can reveal some final looks. Whaat you are viewing in these shots is just a hand poured resin PROTOTYPE that I made here in my studio. While I wait for the return of my beloved twins, I will post some concept drawings and some costume designs. That way you will get a feel for the final product!
I am really excited about two new projects I have in my sketchbook that as I have been working on this prototype for the last year plus, have been dying to get out of my head and into form! The first is a series called " MAD WORLD". This is an Alice in Wonnderland series of dolls that I have had in my mind forever. She will not be your usual Alice, but a dark and brooding Alice with "issues". I am still not sure if I will be making these dolls in porcelain or hand cast resin (in my studio). And yes, these WILL be ball-jointed dolls!
The next project I am excited about is " MUFFY AND MISS S"... Who are Muffy and Miss S, you ask? It is Little Miss Muffet and her spider friend of course! No details on this set...lets just say, I think you are in for a surprise! Again, not sure of the medium, or whether these will be available as one of a kinds or a small edition series. Still debating these details. Well, anyway...that catches you up on news from my studio. I will post some more pictures of "Monday and Tuesday" in the next few weeks Until then!
