It's 2014! Happy New Year and happy new Alice.

 Well, that was 2013 
and here is a new year.

Happy New Year
and I hope yours is
creative and exciting
 and healthy and hopeful!


I have three commissions,
which is a great way to start the year.

Here is a working drawing for the first,
an Alice, with brown hair,
a pretty dress and big sweet eyes.



She's 20cm, which is a new scale to me
for a child doll.

It's going to be exciting!

    1. Thank you so much, Penny!

      It was so nice to find you on facebook (which is an evil Time Vampire! Stay away and save yourself while you still can!)

  10. Oh! I am in love with this sketch of the commissioned Alice doll. What a charmer! Can't wait to see her come into being!
    And you will be enchanted with Melissa Bolton's Archetypal Branding Pinterest board and her Archetypal Branding assessment types too. I was so totally inspired and empowered in my creativity of making dolls, mixed media art, and my novel writing. Anything to help me focus for this next new year!

    1. Thank you so much, Teresa! I'm having fun with this one and the Alice dolls opened up a whole new world for me.

      I'm really interested in Melissa's assessments. As soon as I have a spare half hour, I'm going to try the test and see what comes out.

      Focus would be good, right? If we could all focus, we'd be unstoppable! Happy New Foccused Year!

    1. Welcome back! And yes, I can't wait to make this one come to life. She's going to be small and sweet. It's ages since I made a small doll.

      Commission? Ah, 'Tish! Don't tease!
