I’ve seen a few Zwergnase lately on FB …but then saw this girl on EBay ! Oh that face …those FEET …the paintings I could do the boots for those huge feet …ok she’s is huge for Me …I’m usually a Sasha girl
It was right place …right time …right price …so I bought her
I’m glad I did ….im still working on the boot pattern …but I made a felt shoe to go with her Moomin dungarees …PanMan thinks she is awesome x
I think she needs freckles …
I thought this girl deserved a post of her own
We always love to look for Glass on the pebble beach at Lynmouth , I’ve already made myself a ring from one find ,
In 1952 Lynmouth was hit by a catastrophic flood one stormy night , we had know of the disaster , after paying a visit to the museum in Lynmouth
We were talking to a Detectorist on the beech one day and he was saying most of the glass found on the beach ,comes from the homes and businesses that were washed away
This time Paul came back with some glass and what he thought was a white stone or piece of pottery ? To be honest he didn’t know what it was , he dropped it in my hand and my heart skipped a beat , she had dropped face down , but I could see a hair style … I dared to dream her face was still there as I flipped her over in my hand , …it was , her nose worn smooth by years in the waves …I called her Miss Lyn Vally …to me she began to smile …for such a tiny thing she has a huge smile ❤️
We kept her safe until we came home , after one mishap , I thought she had been thrown away when our room was cleaned ! Then Paul put her “somewhere safe ! “ , after that I kept her wrapped in tissue in a tiny honey jar until we got home ! ,then I sculpted her a new shoulder plate and made some tiny arms and legs out of white fine Milliput ,
Then painted her with watercolours on her face and hair and feet acrylics, then glazed her .
Carefully I made a tiny cloth body , cream cotton with tiny roses , gave her silk roses and a silk necklace
As of yet she refuses to be dressed as she loves her roses
And she is living in my Petite Properties house which I bought many years ago , it's never had occupants or furniture but it’s inspired me to make this her home, and now planning her little home too
What are the odds of this tiny head being on that each years ..being found by a couple who love miniatures and dolls ..and who have the capability to repair her ..what adventures did she have before Fate bought her to us …what ever befell her before ,she is here now and safe and loved ….
Paul’s treated me to some new watercolours .. and I love them
I’ve started painting again and these new Sennelier are just beautiful love them
I’ve challenged myself to the 100 miniature paintings in a year ..as of today I’m up to 50 ,
Holiday was inspiring
I’m finding it’s really helping me with my boots , even though it’s a different medium , with the new dip pen and inks I’m getting much finer details
Of course it’s taking longer .. but I’m so happy right now LOL
Newbury came and went
Commissions to do then my holiday
What a wonderful week and I came home
I’ve been busy painting
I’ve been having problems uploading pictures from my phone .. but looks like it’s all working now … so it’s catch up time !
My latest wobbler repaint … love her !
Shadow is waiting to be wobbled .. I’d not realised he wasn’t done ! So I’m thinking of restyling him like this ❤️
What a wonderful weekend we had gathering at the Chequers Hotel Newbury
Weather was glorious from the start …we traveled avoiding the MotorWay so our journey took us along the B4597 Ormond Road , Qxfordshire , with the rape in full bloom the scenery was just beautiful,
That pesky cool wind finally dropped so it was sunny and warm , making our visit even more pleasant
Lovely company, beautiful dolls ,glorious weather ….a perfect combination
