Whats happening?

[blue]

yer thats it. just a matter of plodding along with tricky things till it works itself out a ... I hope lmao darn interesting tho all the same

[fantail]

It feels like the answer is just there but I can't get to it.
Can't wait to see what you make once you get that BJD book

If you aren't in the zone it might not help to tackle the limbs, I have to work on the story some more but its hard to see what improvements it needs

you can send me the limbs if you want but its the length and width of the body that will depend on how the onsie fits - Unless you want me to make a body for it, which I can do. but I'll still need the neck circumference and whether its just a lying down baby (floppy) or a baby that can sit too

Just saw this on a nother site

now that is utterly fascinating i totally absorbed it thanks so much.

cracked up at the big box of sheep faces.... love his curly designed woolly body to tee hee cute stuff

love how they just poped the armature into the body waalaa its done. gees as for carving up all that polystyrene man it must be a mess but oh looked so totally cool ....... was amazed at how large the scene was tho id expected it to be a small window box type setting.

fascinating........ thank you


managed to sort the feet out........ just had to sit down and do it. must be a little procrastonatoritis disease in me today ; ) eventually got the limbs all baked also. and a tad of sanding. more sanding needed then last clay on. yaaa. theres just something i havent gotten quite right with feet yet ......hmmmmm i think my toes are still to small and soles to flat hmmm toe size compared to foot size hmmmmmm getting closer tho. these soles dont look like they are filled with cuts..YAAA got the hands posed quite nice.... then both hands well the fingers shifted a little while baking.....OMG Facepalm. got a little crack behind one knee also. GROAN but fixed it somewhat.

some days nothing comes easy.


but glad to have gotten this far with them so quickly the heads just need a very gentle sand in a couple of spots then when limbs are done i can paint. been experimenting with colours ( genesis ) asian skin tone. havent gotten that quite right yet. hmmm might have to mega search google for the answers...

ok enough board trolling for me today

have a wonderful one ladies

Hew are some of what seems to be years worth of sewing. At the moment Im trying to remember what clay is and how to use it

I feel like all thumbs and not many fingers.. but I will get there..

[fantail]

I'm sure you'll get it Blue maybe a tint of yellow ocher in the right spots- there are a few reborn site out there that might be helpful

Hi Anubis, Thank you for the photos
I can't imagine the work that went into each of them. They are all such cuties and I hope each will find a good home for Christmas
I do love the gypsies and the pixies well all of them really

Blegh I have some purple bear limbs and thought I'd use white fur for the body but to get a match- how many shades of white is there?

[BLL]

OMG Anubis That is one Amazing collection!!
Thanks for the the peekaboo.

[blue]

;D Big HI to everyone..

Jesse broke his hand 15mins into school yesterday, so our day was spent at clinics and hospitals..Right hand, right handed, exams next week and wider-living adventure camp soon..I feel sorry for him

You have all been busy..
Blue: great you sorted the legs/feet out. I can't help you with the ball joints and Damien wasnt familiar either, sorry, wish I could help... Very exciting that you'll be onto BJD's soon Yahoooo!! can't wait.

Great you-tube video.. Will have to show Damien that one, thats his type of work...

Anubis, What a MARATHON effort, and worth every Needle-Prick moment...they are beautiful, delightful little wimsies. I love every one..so much detail, decoration and imagination.. I'm in awe...
And talking of clay.. these little cuties would wonderful made in clay too...

Blue, tomorrow or anytime that suits you..and where it suits you

[fantail]

Poor boy sorry to hear
The pixie with the green clothes has such a great expression
Have fun with the clay Anubis

I was also suprised at the size of the set and think the boxes of expressions are cool

[Donna]

Thanks for the sympathy for the one with the broken wing fantail..
At the moment he thinks it's cool, but I give it a couple of days and he'll be sick of it, and I think I'll be needing the sympathy soon hehe.

I like the marionettes again I'm actually looking forward to working with them now, just need time. I tweaked the eye-screw a half turn (!!) and now I think the legs will work You were both right ( as usual lol )

Blue, I've PM'ed you back..

[fantail]

We are here for ya Donna. Glad you are enjoying them again, makes me intrigued.
I've had enough of the story and will send it off on the weekend so I can start on the next one

[Donna]

WhatdidImiss??? I didn't know you were writing a story fantail.. What's this about the story?

..and is there anything you CANT do..hehe

[fantail]

You haven't missed anything its just the writing course I'm doing
Yip there is loads I can't - but won't go into that cause its just depressing- I'm still learning to write for today's children, the learning is interesting the doing is tough

[blue]

good thoughts to Anubis for her show this weekend....

Im glad you found a little inspiration here amongst the WIP chaos lolol Its nice to immerse yourself in this art form - regardless it rocks ; ) I figure your imagination went spaz on you by the end of the day full of ideas yer baby isnt it grand! But the studio door is always open any ol time you need or want anything or simply come and work sometimes its nice to have company

Its always nice to meet another creative westie ; ) thanks so much for coming down the hill

xR

[Donna]

;D guess who's been sitting at the table playing with all my new cool bits and bobs!!! ;D ....I'm 'supposed to be doing housework and gardening things hahaha.

My thoughts have been with Anubis, everyone is going to LUV her new creatives, hoping she's having a fun day..

Blue, sorry to hear you have a migraine, I might not have helped with that lol, I really hope you feel better soon.

The best part of my visit, as with this forum, is the opportunity to go crazy about everything clay with someone who has the same passion. Usually I have 10 mins max with anyone I know, then they start sneaking away, they just don't UNDERSTAND!!! hehe
Admiring little treasures, describing hard-wrought experiments and results, oohing over fairy books, having a million idea's in your head to try....

I would love to spend more time with you Blue, I was looking forward to squishing the clay into your fairy moulds hehe, time just flew...

I'm off to clean-up...I just have to walk past the table of bits n bobs first.... I hope everyone is having a wonderful day
;D

[fantail]

Hope you get some rest Blue and shake off that migraine
Maybe we in the visinity can all have a catchup in a few weeks time
Have Fun ;D

[blue]

oh yes..... do that tails we can jack up something thats for sure. I know storks up in a couple weeks also so.........whoz to know we might even be able to rope lindy over also. would be FUN and ever so slightly crazy ; )

your lucky Donna i never make it to ten minutes with non doll peeps i usually only get 5 minutes before their poor little eyes start glazing over..... or if i manage to bring up armatures or such likes its an instant glaze and comments like *oh thats Nice.............. HA

but yer dash it time does fly a sniggggger
theres so much more i wanna show you... next time ; )

its why i love it here so much. where else can you talk about 3d glazing medium or armature or clay beads or eyeballs and lashes or velvet dragons , pixies elves fairys and allllllllllllllllllll of that and we alllllllllllllll drool over the same stuff............... show a pretty pair of fairy wings and we are allllllllllllllll having brain spazs over them. HAHAHA ! or fabrics or.........or.........or

Im so glad we can share the madness

I actually suffer from chronic *Cluster headaches so a migraines NOTHING! and donna dont worry your all good girl
