I finally broke down and got a Twitter account. It's for my art and doll-making. Ringo will most likely get on there too, that's his way ;P So if anybody wants to follow me, you can do so here.

New Illustration: The Firebird

In Slavic folklore, the Firebird is a magical bird from a faraway land, usually depicted as a small, fire-colored peacock. It can bring blessing or doom to its captor. It glows, and a single feather from the firebird's tail can illuminate an entire room.

This illustration started out as a test for a new art app I was trying. I am quite happy with the results, and so I decided to share it with everyone ^_^

It is now available on a wide variety of products in my stores at  Zazzle, Cafe Press, Red Bubble, and my deviantArt Print shop.

Kisa's New Bead Wig

I made this wig for Kisa a while ago, but didn't get a picture of it until now. I really love the way she looks in it!

Jin Yan

Today my beautiful new doll from JRDolls arrived! I named her Jin Yan (金燕), which means Golden Swallow in Chinese. ^_^ Here are a few photos of her:

Esmeralda

I finished Esmeralda on Christmas Eve! I would've posted photos earlier, but my camera was messed up. Anyways, for those of you who didn't see the first post about her, Esmeralda is a flower faerie. She is a BJD, with 13 points of articulation. She is made of Japanese glass seed beads, organic cotton thread & fiber fill, and Swarovski Pearl joints. She is approximately 9 inches tall. She is my first BJD, and I am very happy with her ^_^ Here are a few photos of her now that she's dressed:

New Photo: Eyes of Love

Mini dachshund Ringo looks like an angel, soaring through the clouds, with a vey loving expression.

This photo is now available on my stores at Zazzle,Cafe Press, Red Bubble, and my deviantArt Print shop.

I originally took this photo a couple of months ago - can you believe my little guy is going to be 10 years old this Friday?!

WIP "Esmeralda" Beaded BJD

I have been working on a special project lately -- a beaded BJD! I wasn't sure if I could do it, but I have, and I am quite pleased with the results ^_^ I have named her Esmeralda, she is a faerie. She is about 9 inches tall. She's made of Japanese glass seed beads, organic cotton thread & stuffing, and has Swarovski pearl joints. She has 13 points of articulation, and is my own design and pattern. She kind of reminds me of a marionette for some reason. I think she turned out really cute. I still need to make her clothes, shoes & accessories, but I want to share some photos of her now anyways. I hope you will like her too!
