A few more things .....





















I'm practicing putting stuff up on my blog, these are a few things I've been making recently.
Two little dogs.

Definitely good friends.





And this little fellow.
I was thinking about Tove Jansson's wonderful array of creatures in the Moomintroll books and was inspired to make up a forest animal of my own, I can just see him shyly peeping out from behind a tree.
I've made a few friends for him, others are still in my head or scribbled on bits of paper.

Here we go!

So, the children are growing and I have a little time to create, draw, paint and think.
I'm making these dolls, they are quite small and delicate, a more grown up version of a rag doll.
Each doll has it's own personality. Some wearing quite modern clothes, they look like my daughter Darcy and her friends, others look like they've wandered out of a fairy tale book.

More photos of my dolls.
