Slowly Getting There

So I don't think I have posted some of the health issues I have been having. I was diagnosed with a pelvic stress fracture a bit ago and have been going to physical therapy to get fixed up. Tonight while I was at PT I finally got to run on the treadmill without the harness assisting me!! You can't imagine how great that felt for me!! I feel like I am on the road to recovery. Things are getting Better Now :)

Flying Fairy Take 2

So the previous try at making a flying fairy was not acceptable this is something that my brother-in-law has asked me to make for him, and as much as I like fairies but am a bit tired of them. After this one I need to try something new.

Here is a shot of her face... I think the book I am reading about some Chinese sisters has somehow seeped into my fingers. I really was not intending on making as Asian looking face so I hope my brother-in-law doesn't mind. She seems a bit masculine to me, but hopefully I when she is painted and has hair that will change. I also don't really care for the glass eyes that I used. I would have liked to use white beads and paint the eyes but again that was not what the customer asked for so I used glass eyes. I think the pupils are a bit to big.

Here are a couple of body shots so far. I hope to add the rest of the arms and legs this week.

Updates on Memory Doll

Here are a few updates on the doll that has been giving me so much grief. I still don't know if I will finish her... still not certain I like her. I guess I will see how I feel about her as I work on her a bit more.

She sits on a pedestal that has been covered with some gray and orange paper and some other decorations.

So there is a story behind this doll. If I ever finish her and sell her the money will go to the NAMI organization, in the name of my friend that I lost almost 6 years ago. The NAMI organizations color is gray, you know like breast cancer is pink and Aids is red. The orange is because when our family does the NAMI walk in our state we all wear orange.

Hopefully I will get her finished soon, but since I am not really liking the way she is looking she has been placed up on the shelf again, until I can figure out what needs to happen with her.
