Art Dolls by Du Buh Du Designs

Next Update's Sneak Peek-Part 2

Here are the new dolls that will be going up in my shop tomorrow along with the other nine dolls I posted the other day. I had been wanting to do a group of "art student" dolls early on and kind of veered from that for awhile. These dolls were begging to be made. Painting was the one class (both oil and acrylic) that I really struggled with and so I decided to make my dolls "beginner" painting students, each doing a basic self portrait of themselves.( I did these little amateur paintings using acrylics..they measure 2 x 2.75"). I had so much fun that'd I would love to take a class again and learn how to push paint around without making mud.
I made a few extra dolls this week because I probably wont be getting to any doll making next week due to other things that need to be tended to. Anyhow, all sixteen dolls will be up tomorrow at noon on Etsy. Thanks for stopping by..have a wonderful day!

Next Update's Sneak Peeks- Part 1

As promised here are a few pictures of some of the dolls I have made for the next shop update on Thursday. I haven't decided if I'm going to make hand held masks for all of bridal party and guests or just a few for those without flowers in their hair. I'm working on another set of dolls right now (that aren't as formal, but are my favorites so far) and I will probably be posting pics of those on Wednesday. Back to work..hope everyone is enjoying their holiday.

Happy Easter :)

Happy Easter! We're getting ready to go up to Mt. Bachelor here in Bend, for the Easter Egg Hunt. Having grown up in California it seems strange to be hunting for eggs in snow, but it'll be fun as long as I remember the gloves. I'll be back later this evening with pictures of some of the new dolls. Enjoy your Sunday!

Well we got to the mountain in time but they decided to start the egg hunt early, so only eggs at the top of the hill were still there. We were bummed a little but Andres didn't seem to mind as he got to try on his skis at the mountain for the first time and enjoy watching the snow boarders do their thing. He's a typical curious two yr. old wanting to see and try out what everyone else is doing. The 'magic carpet ride "lift" on the bunny hill where the small kids take lessons was a little too enticing. Andres will just have to wait until next year when he's old enough for lessons:) We had a good time, the weather finally cleared and the Easter bunny was very generous this year:)
