A little something...

I've been working on, on my down time...She's made of paper mache clay,her head is hollow.

Pictures help to see what need to be fixed on my real BJD project. I made a smaller doll years ago, Raven , but she really wasn't ball jointed, this one will be, more or less. I think I like the eyes,these are the second pair I inserted as I didn't really care to go with the beads I put in first, I woulda had to paint them in. I got these a few years ago too, vintage japanese glass eyes off ebay. Gotta figure out how to do the head stringing and where to purchase what kind of string to use , I read that some used wire, I was thinking coated wire.. any suggestions ??....More to come, see ya!!!

Baby Love....

Lovely indeed, but none so sweet as your

Moving right along...

All done with the giveaways so just waiting on whoever decides they would like them...or not, if you do, PLEASE read the rules on the previous post and then leave me a contact #
so that I might know where to send these badges, respectively of course....







Blessings,Flora

For me...??

Oh you shouldn't have!!!


A while back my fingers were quicker than my brain....anywho I was visiting with the lovely Ms. Marie Patterson of " Marie Patterson Studio " and saw what I thought was a free giveaway, you know the ones where " If you are one of the first to comment...", well it wasn't one of those...
But I did get a great gift, a unique " Spinner " ornie that has 2 sides, that Marie is so clever!!!
This was started waaaaay back in April on Michelle Rae Schafer's blog Studio at Crow Haven Farm. Make sure you check out her fantastic blog

NOW FOR THE RULES... please read carefully as this does get passed on!

Now YOU can receive a treat from ME! All you have to do is leave a comment on this post, and I will draw 5 names and send you a surprise!( You see this is where my fingers got in the way of my brain because I didn't read on, you should though....:)
I'd love to make more, but that would be too big a task.

However, you must know that it will then be YOUR TURN to do the same. Re-post this on your blog with a link back to MY blog and send your treat to 5 people. Your prizes may be ANYTHING that you wish to give and can be very simple.

Marie said that the whole premise was a simple gift for 5 people, with an emphasis on simple I will change the rules just a wee bit, in that I will collect the names of whoever wants to do this and draw 5 names from them, if there are only 5 then that's good too, but then they have to do the same in turn. I really didn't have any idea on what to do or rather I kept making the gift too complicated!!!
So I finally decided that this idea could be a simple gift, a small tag-like ornie. They will be done in a few days then I will post pictures for whoever is interested in joining this kinda giveaway. Marie made the mistake of telling me " Whenever " when I asked when I had to do this by....:)
I hope that the next 5 won't be as slow as I was....



Just need to paint in details and add a bit of embellishments....



Stay tuned...
Blessings,Flora

What do you see?

When you look at this ornamental gourd, besides the beauty?





I guess it depends on how warped you are?..hehehe!.. seriously though, I love warty/bumpy gourds! I see an oddly shaped one and how it could lend it's self to so many possiblities then add clay and wow, quite a combination. So what do you see?
I saw this...


And it was no picnic to get him to look like this!!!


But he is worth every bit of trouble he is putting me through...
