~We started a new series of smaller dolls called, 'Teacup Fairies' ! So far we've made lots of dragonfly girls, fairies, a pig, a mermaid, a deer, a gloomy unicorn and a candy Troll. We love making them and seeing their little personalities come to Life. 

Lots of Inspiring plans for 2012 the year of the Dragon, which will also bring lots of Dragons back to the Filigree! (Celena is a Dragon! *} Working on revising and reissuing all 7 editions of the Filigree ~ in color! Matte magazine format, fully illustrated on high quality paper. #7 should be ready soon! 

More Illustrations in the works for the shop that will also bring more fairy tale apparrel soon! 

Dollings & Dandys...

We started a new series of Dolls called, 'Dollings & Dandy's' which has more focus on tailored & sculpted details. These are more worked and more time consuming. Lots of fun to make!  Batiste Tail coats and fluffy layered dresses or in the Dandy's case, gentlemans trousers.  They both wear chiffon tights and have sculpted boots/shoes/top hats/bow ties.  We're sticking to a limited palette inspired by Flora & Fauna, (as usual). Sage, Violet & Chamomile and the shimmering jewel tones of the insects.  

Poseable wings & Floppy Limbs.

 ☛This Green Apple Dragon  was recently made using my current favorite silk that features dragonfly wings.

Copper is soldered together to keep him on his feet.

Today I made this custom ordered white mouse. A bit of goofiness was requested. *) I think he turned out cute & mischievous, as well. Silk, copper & clay. 

 

This Dragon is quite large and made from a beautiful silk in the Art Nouveau style which gives it a nice yellow jacket or wasp effect. He's apart of the compassionate dragon series that I've been working on this last year.

✭This Glowing Graveyard Fancy was made with a dark Butterfly.  The Butterfly was created with silk, clay and copper wire, (Martin's 3 favorite materials to work with).
