Frida …Trendon Sasha

 Sadly this poor girl had hair fall ..so she had to be wigged 

I was asked for a Frida Sasha …I wanted to capture the iconic look of Frida

Florrie

 Before these are her auction photos and her face , with the paint removed and her wig removed 




I decided to wash and condition her wig , and enhance her face with watercolours …the wig came up beautiful 







New kids in the house

 So exited to add Michael and Florrie to the fold ….Michael has the most beautiful face and hair …a little caving around the neck …nothing I can’t fix …Florrie …when I saw her auction pictures I knew I had to have her 

I had been to the most wonderful Sasha gathering in the next village, I met some wonderful people and collected Michael ..amd that’s when I saw her … a “Velvet” …I fell in love with her face , so I was hoping to transform this poor little waif into my own version of

Arnt the beautiful Velvet …this is Florrie after 

And I forgot …Frida ! 

Another rescue …poor girl had a dink on her face and a real bad hair cut , which is tragic as her hair is amazing , so I piled it up high for now and her curls cover it ..shes a real beauty  














Mathilda


 Mathilda is looking thoughtful

And I’m wonderful who or what to do next 

I can’t wait to get my airbrush going again 

I really want to do a denim bear , airbrushed,  dresses , I’m loving the frills and lace 

I also want to do the Boston Terrier and a doll 

I’m so pleased after all these years I’m happy making large bears and clothes and airbrushing ! And crochet ! 

And I can read patterns .. I’m so happy ! LOL 

Mathilda

 Today I spent the morning in the dentist … yuck 

I was very exited about getting home to finish Mathilda the goat …I’ve been working on her for a couple of weeks now ,

I jumped right in set up my kit …and nothing happened 

Then I spent the next 2 hours stripping down the airbrush to getting it to work 😡

I used to use an industrial airgun ,many years ago I used to use one ,when I was a fabricator , so I’m no stranger to stripping one down and putting it back together again ..I soon had her working 

And work it did …

I use Jacquard Dye-na-flow iron-fix silk paint ,In an Iwata airbrush and compressor it’s amazing ..I can see me using it a lot more now I’m this happy 

Finally I finished Mathilda ..she is on Etsy 

Although I will be quite happy if she doesn’t sell LOL 

My heads exploding with ideas 

I really want to do an Alpaca …and a dog …and a denim bear !

I’ve got no Strings ❤️

 I’ve got no strings

To hold me down
To make me fret
Or make me frown
I had strings
But now I’m free
There are no strings on me
Hi o the merio, that's
the only way to be!
I want the world to know
notin' ever worries me

I’ve got no strings so I have fun
I’m not tied up to anyone
They've got strings but 
you can see there are no strings 
on me!

You have no strings your
arms are free
To love me by the
Zeider Zee
Ya,ya,ya if you 
would woo 
I'd burst my strings 
for you

You've go no strings
comme ci comme ca
Your savoir faire is ooh
la la
I've got strings,but
entre nous
I'd cut my strings for you

Down where
de Volga flows
Dere's a Russian 
rendezvous
Where me and Ivan goes
But I'd rather go with
you,Hey!

There are no strings on me
