Update Hello Friends!

Hello everyone. I just wanted to put a little update here for those who may be wondering. First of all, thank you all so very much for your messages, and prayers, I appreciate them so much. I am doing well, my distant sight was fully restored..I am elated about that, but now I am having to wear readers for reading of course, and for sculpting..you might think no biggie right?I was wearing strong readers all the time before surgery, but working very close to my face... Well, so far it is proving to be more than challenging for me to sculpt. The implant that was put in my eye  is causing quite a different kind of feeling, hard to describe, but it feels as if my eye lid is sticking to my eye, and dragging...my eye is quivering all the time. I know it is very soon, and I am pushing things...this is  my downfall, expecting too much too soon..well hoping for too much too soon I guess is better way to say it. I am praying that with further healing, I will not need the reading glasses as much. I am so used to working right in front of my face..as close as 5 inches, that now working at a level where the readers will let me focus is at  about 16 inches from my face, and my depth perception is still way off..so I am frustrated, but hopeful. The colors and definition I am able to see at a distance now is nothing short of amazing! I am no longer a danger while driving..thank God! I have discovered that since I can see the photos of the dolls I have created,...MANY of those  were NOT  how I saw them, not as good as I saw them, not as smooth, nor as cohisive as I percieved, I hope and pray this will improve. No matter what happens, I will continue to create dolls, and learn with each new endeavor, and also continue to learn from my friends, and mentors.You have no idea how important many of you have been in my journey, from where I started in Sept of 07',  to where I am now, and where I hope to grow!  XOXOX Christel

Home Grown Twins Cate & Cole





some of you maight think..how in the heck is she making these dolls so fast?..well, I'm not! Most of these (with the exception of Cate And Cole) were made over the past few weeks, since I started this series. I have just been a bit lax in my blog posting, and have posted a lot  in a short time..so that's the real reason so many dolls are showing up all at once! I just love these two! I dressed them just like I used to dress my own twins, Jake and Jamie, when they were wee sprouts! I found that I could easily make little matching ourfits, but one suitable for a girl, and one a boy, and so many people would say.."where did you ever find such cute little matching outfits?..teehee of course Jake and Jamie..(now 21) look at old pictures and say..oh mom..why did you dress us alike?..lol  anyway, I hope you like Cate & Cole, they are on ebay now! xoxox Christel

~ Jhune~ Male Faerie




This is an 8 inch sculpt I just completed, aand will have listed on ebay starting Sunday night at 8 pm central. I have named him Jhune (June) I was trying to create a more elven-like face, a bit more unique, and feminine, I'm not sure if he is, but he does look different than most of my male sculpts. He is also dark skinned, which I have not tried before.on a large sculpt. I found it VERY sticky, and hard to keep smooth, but all in all, it was a great learning experience, and Jhune turned out pretty well. His wings are real moth wings, we refer to them here in Kentucky as tobbacco flies, because they can often be found at twilight near or on the tobbacco blooms. I coated them with fimo clear gel, and remarkably, they are quite durable, and pretty! Have a great week everyone, thank you for stopping in to take a peek at Jhune. XOXO Christel

~ Tavii~ A French Gnome Comes To Visit





Each spring I am excited to welcome my little friend Tavii. She is a french gnome who greets me each morning with a sweet smile! She sits with me while I drink my coffee, and sings little tunes only she knows the melody of. Each summer as her colors begin to fade, Tavii flies away. I do not know where she goes, perhaps to another friends home in a warmer climate, or perhaps she must sleep during the winter months. I know I am glad she returs , it is such an honor to have her as my guest!  ~ Tavii ~


Tavii is available on ebay now! xoxo Christel
