Little man nearly ready to go home

17/6/2023

2 Comments

 
Well this little man is nearly ready to go home, just need to do his little details - nails and brows, and then hopefully he will be on his way home on Monday.
Then I'm taking a well earned break for a few days - Monday to Friday in the Lakes, we have a cottage booked and the cats are being well looked after by our friend, so we are off to Coniston with Pepper our gorgeous Labra-daughter.
We have had some bad news about Pepper's health, although she is fit and healthy and happy at the moment, we have been told this will be her last summer as she has a very nasty form of cancer which is spreading.  So it will be a very special holiday for all of us, and being one of her favourite places in the world, paddling in the lake and chasing sticks and balls, we will make it a fabulous week for her.

Released some more Joseph both as finished baby and blanks

Afternoon everybody, well I've poured 13 of the Joseph sculpt now, one prototype and 12 of the limited edition of 20, and the mould is still  holding out really well.
​
So ... I've released the rest of the 20 as both finished babies or blanks, so if anybody has been waiting to order a Joseph either as a finished baby on a 12 month payment plan for next year, or as a blank to paint yourself, now is the time to grab the remaining slots. 
I will also be bringing out some new sculpts later this year.  AND some more new excited stuff, watch this space!

Incidentally I'm happy to sell the blanks on a short payment plan say up to 3 months, so if you want to do that just email or message me and we can arrange that.

If I've been a bit quiet lately ...

I've been really busy lately but haven't really been posting, apologies for this.
The fact is I've got seven babies to go out fairly soon, the work backed up a little from the Spring when I wasn't well for a while and also my partner Joe was needing some extra attention, so things started to back up.  Anybody who knows me, knows that wherever possible I do meet deadlines but some of the babies are going out a couple of months later than previously promised.
Anyway, so I've been really busy, and this is the first of these seven babies - a customer who has had a few babies from me and asked if I could do an AA baby, and I thought YES I've been intending to get to grips with black skin colourings in a while so this was a chance.  So immediately after this, two sisters who were each waiting for two dolls each, told me they wanted their babies in a darker skin tone similar to biracial, and then baby no.6 also the customer asked for biracial - so it's been a really a lot of fun.
So here is baby no.1, my Joseph sculpt, in AA colouring.  I think he is maybe a touch darker in real life than in the photos - not easy to get skin tones exact on photos.  So I'll be pushing on with details and then hair with this one while I work on the other six bubbas.  
I'm going away for a few days towards the end of June so my aim is to finish the painting on all seven babies before my holiday, and then can root and finish them when I get home.
So watch this space, I'll post finish photos of them all.
​Bye for now, xxx
