Updates!!

I appologize for not updating my blog sooner. I'm working on so many dolls at the same time!! I will list all the dolls that I'm working on and bring you guys up to date!

My Kuna doll has her outfit on and all I have left to do is finish her bead work on her leg and arms and then I can attach her to her base...

I'm also working and stressing over my 2nd BJD doll! I started to make her a Carnival costume but still have a lot to do to it... I need to add feathers and other decorations. I haven't taken any pictures of her with her outfit on yet, but here's a pic of her...

Here are a few photos to use for costume ideas...

I've also worked on a few more Pollera Bust dolls that I'm planning on selling here in Panama. Next week there will be a National Art Fair going on in Panama City from the 28th of July till the 1st of August. I will attend to check out the local artwork and see at what prices they are selling them at. I'll post pics of the event. Stay tuned!!

New Doll Idea!

I got an idea for my next doll after I finish my Kuna doll. I want to make A BJD Doll (Ball Jointed Doll) following a tutorial I've been checking out. She will be able to move her body, head, arms and legs so she ccan pose with her dress. Now you know me... I want to make a doll that has to do with Panama. So I will make a full body Pollera doll. I will not be sewing the dress (of course LOL) but I have 2 people in mind... either my Aunt or the woman who sewed my children's school uniforms.

I was thinking of starting out with a Montuna Pollera like this...



Now this will be my first time making a BJD doll... so I really hope she comes out great. I already ordered the supplies I need to start her. Can't wait!

My new Kuna Indian Doll

Ok so I finally remade my new Kuna doll. I started on her about 3 weeks ago... and slowly but surely I'm getting her done. The original Kuna doll I made way back in 2004, not long after I first moved to Virginia and discovered Mark Dennis' amazing dolls in a magazine while I worked at Walmart. She was about 12" tall and made out of the white Sculpey clay and had way too many problems that I never finished her. I was not new to sculpting but I was new to dollmaking and working with a better brand of polymer clay.


But my new Kuna doll is about 9" tall and made from ProSculpt polymer clay. I'm a lot happier with this one and can't wait till she's done. I'm currently working on the beadwork for her legs, then I will make her blouse and last finish her beadwork on her arms.



STAY TUNED!!!
