The Collector has a face (or two!)

I'm leaning towards the dark curls!

The Collector has a face (or two!)

A little paper-clay,
some big, brown 16mm flat paperweight eyes,
a bit of wool hair...
and the Collector finally has a personality that is emerging!
The big question is: dark curls OR wavy auburn?

Emily's 28th Birthday!

Happy Birthday Em...

we love you, lots!

The Collector!

This little guy is taking on "a life of his own!" His waist jacket-vest is cut from a single piece of wool felt. His hat is wool felt as well. He still needs some paper-clay hands, forearms and a face!
The three clear glass vases that are part of the wire basket will eventually be filled with his "finds."
Enjoy... Daryle

New Cage Doll Progress!

The rusty wire basket provided a perfect cage for this little guy! When finished, he will be about 22 inches tall. His body is cotton canvas duck. He will eventually have paper-clay facial features, glass eyes, and... I am thinking a "woodland gnome" like look. Enjoy! Daryle

New Cage Doll in the Works!

We found this great little wire basket at a local thrift store... the perfect base for a new cage doll!

The making of Her Majesty!

If you are interested in "the process" that I followed making her majesty... just check out the Cloth and Clay Dolls link on our blog. After signing in, click on "members" and you will find me! Again... this is a remarkable network of doll artists, each with his/her own unique approach and style.
