Belated

These shots are from the studio last week. I'm trying to spend regular time there, even with Peanut tagging along. It's been much harder for me, however, to schedule regular time to update the blog!
I found these beautiful vintage dolls, and lovely doll pieces, at my local thrift store. I can't wait to use them in a sculpture. The dolls may wind up being a gift for the the baby, although not for some time. I'm sure they're too delicate for baby or toddler hands.

I realized I've acquired quite a fun little collection of doll parts! It may seem a bit morbid, at first, but I'm so much more interested in these as separate parts, than as finished cloth dolls. Especially the hands...

I also used some studio time to finally frame up some prints that I had for baby's nook: on the left is a piece by Olivia over at Restless Things, and on the right, one of my favorites from Paul and Val of Tugboat Printshop.
And of course, my constant source of inspiration, and distraction, little Peanut. Surprisingly, she's much more helpful than you'd think.
