PLEASE NOTE THIS LAST MINUTE CHANGE: Tomorrow's update will be at 11am instead of Noon Pacific.
I just found out one of our presidential candidates (whom my husband wants to see) is coming to speak in Bend this Saturday (should be interesting) and in order to see them I have to get tickets at noon tomorrow. Hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone~

Hello! Just stopping by to show the eight dolls that will be up in my shop Friday at 11 am (Pacific). This update is a "mini" one as I had so much fun working on the mermaids for the Swashbuckler Soiree that I ran out of time t make more. But next update (maybe a month away) will be much larger with a variety of dolls and I'm hoping to have some mermaids in that one for those who have asked. If the next update is that far away I will post images of the dolls I have finished as I go. I'm just happy to have these finished in time! I was working at my desk when one of the shelves from my wall collapsed while I was painting masks. Paint, broken cups, coffee, books were everywhere and some of the masks and limbs were crushed. So I had to re-do a few. Thank God my dolls were in the other room or there wouldn't be an update. And I'm also glad that I had recently moved the contents of the second shelf down to the first otherwise I would've had a concussion! Ok minor drama, but all is well.
These eight dolls not only have bird masks but I decided to also give them cat masks...each doll having the masks of a predator and an prey.(It's kind of hard making cats without making them look too cutesy or scary). Eventually I'd like to explore this theme on a deeper maybe darker level. One of my artist friends in town, Kaycee, has mentioned possibly doing a show in the fall and so I'm thinking about having some dolls and possibly photos on display. It's been awhile since I've shown work~ I haven't since I left California over 3 years ago. Anyhow I'm getting side tracked! ~ these dolls will be available tomorrow in my shop. Hope to see you there:) Spring has finally arrived here in Oregon...
