Alice and Chess

Silly me, I got behind on putting pictures on this blog!

Just as well though because these last two custom dolls are so perfect together. 

First, meet Alice.

I was asked to make an Alice in Wonderland, but not to use the traditional colors. 

Alice is another one of my mini pixies, and is just 5 inches tall. 
She's also wired to allow her to hold some poses.

 Her hair was my first time adding mohair to one of my dolls. I love the look! 
I'll definitely be doing that again in the near future.

Like my other mini pixies, Alice's outfit is removable.

She has a couple of extra pieces on. In addition to her dress, panties, and tutu, she also has on an apron and socks. (I loooove that I finally found a black and white striped material to make socks with. I am trying to keep myself from making every single doll from now on have them!)

Next up is another custom named Chess!

 She wanted a hot pink cheshire (kind of based off the colors of Disney's cheshire cat).

She also got the more traditional cheshire grin!

Of course, I just had to take a picture of them together.

It was too perfect not to!

I have some other exciting news to share, but I think it warrants a blog post all of its own (although if you follow me on Facebook, you already know it!). I'll be back soon with my thoughts on that!

I'm also finishing up another cute little custom pixie and am dreaming of the one I want to make after this one, so expect more updates soon. ;)

We're All Mad Here! Chessa the Cheshire

I've said it before I know, but I'm always months behind creating my ideas.
Chessa has been sitting in my sketchbook, waiting to be made for at least a year now.
My new mini pixies gave me the perfect base to finally create her.
(They also give me the perfect base to create a bunch of other little characters that have been patiently waiting...so I'm really excited about the future around here!)

I have to admit, I think she's my favorite doll I've created to date.

This is Chessa the Cheshire.

She's five and a half inches tall if you count her big kitty ears.

Like my last little pixies, she's wired so she can hold some poses.

She was hand painted using acrylics and sealed with a matte varnish.

Her outfit is removable and comes with a dress, tutu, and panties.

She's a bit mad, but I hear all the best people are. ;)

She has already been adopted, but I imagine there will be more cheshires in the future.
It was hard sending her off, but I know where she's going she'll be really loved!

I've already started on the next little doll.
She's a fun custom that I can't wait to share with you all!

A Custom Cheshire!

I must have fallen through a rabbit hole in my back yard because look who I found hanging around out there!

This Cheshire was a custom order from a friend in Scotland.

I had so much fun working on him!

I loved the idea of turning someone's kitty into a Cheshire.

Here he is pictured with the pretty kitty he was modeled after.

I already have the materials picked out to make a Cheshire for the shop, but first I have a little Valentine doll demanding to be made!
