WIP “Insomnia” Gothic bed. This project was inspired by my ongoing, life-long struggle with insomnia and anxiety. I’m not sure what the doll for this bed will look like yet.🤔 My own doll Skyler is using in it while I work out the final details of the frame, linens and the doll that will sleep in it

I’ve been asked where I’ve been and if i’m ok, and I’ve been here in my studio working on my special doll orders the whole time. I needed a long break from social media, because the News is giving me nightmares these days.🤯😱😵

"censoring a doll? Really?" Yes, because if the algorithm decides its nudity it will not push the post and my work won't be seen. I won't know that happened (other than lower view counts) and won't have any recourse. Have to live in fear of the mysterious algorithms and hope to not anger them.

The work on the one of a kind auction doll Serenity continues! I’ve filmed a series of shorts, documenting the making her one of a kind gown, shoes and accessories. Here, I’m curling her soft and silky Angora goat hair wig into a luscious vintage 1930s hair style to give her that Shanghai glamour!

Opening a kiln after each china-paint firing makes me feel like kid on Christmas morning, running to see what surprises Santa brought me. In this case inside my kiln are my rewards for many hours of hard work! 😃 I inspect them piece by piece, and do a happy dance when all have turned out

Returning to Serenity, the next auction doll! I started working on Serenity in 2023, but began to experience cognitive dissonance with her concept and costuming direction, and decided to pause until my inner conflict about her identity resolved.

When I don’t make dolls, or play with my dogs, I soak in my tub. It’s a medicine for anxiety. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RdV...

When I carved these bra cups from jeweller’s wax years ago, I didn’t plan on putting ribbons in them, but the spacing between metal worked out as if they were always meant to be there. The cups are cast in bronze and plated with 24k gold, while the ribbon is polyester.

How I made the gold-plated ribbon work corset for the final custom Cinderella In Gold doll. Up to this point I've never integrated metal and ribbons into one composition to this extent before, but I love this result, so I'll be doing more of it in the future.

In this photoshoot I wanted to capture a surreal and magical dreamscape of Cinderella’s experience at a spectacular masked ball, filtered through her feelings of uncertainty, courage, euphoria and wonder.

Cinderella In Gold. A collector asked me to create a custom Cinderella doll inspired by my limited 2009 Cinderella edition. I was reluctant to plagiarize myself, but wanted to fulfill my collector’s dream, so I decided to create a much more elaborate and intricate, OOAK for this special commission.

I love posing dolls sleeping in nature, something I wish I was able to do without being worried about a thousand things (spiders!). Looking at these photos brings a sense of calm to me. #bjd #moss

One of my most detailed polymer clay wolf sculptures. I love adding as many realistic details as possible to the skulls. Everything is hand sculpted and hand painted, including the fine, gold patterns.

A wolf sculpture on a white background. The wolf is standing in a sturdy, proud stance with its head held high. The wolf has a detailed skull for a face. The body is painted black with lots of detailed, gold floral patterns.

I watch a lot of ambient videos while I work, so we thought we'd try our hand at making one of our own! 8 hours of a relaxing sunset with crickets, owls, and gentle wind chimes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aZfF...

Theodora Rex: From Circus dancer to Empress-Saint. Empress Theodora was a truly remarkable, accomplished, influential and impressive woman. She is a Byzantine-age feminist icon, a progressive reformer, and a real life Cinderella story!

Working on the details of the lips on soft-fired porcelain. Using a needle I'm able to etch fine details. A slight alteration to the lips can change the entire expression; we convey so much with subtle movements of our mouths. And Tiny Tooba assists me.

Didn't have the most productive 2023, but I was happy to finally finish my Empress Theodora doll. I started her years ago but she remained unfinished until this year when she took on a whole new life. After scrapping a costume that I sunk months into I almost gave up, but was happy with the result

Many years ago I made a giant paper doll. She's over 6 feet tall and now lives in my storage locker. I hope she's doing okay.

Still making many tiny beaded water lotuses. The repetition of construction without seeing any evidence of the final composition is getting a bit tedious after a few weeks of making these.

Little Red Riding Hood’s journey through the woods. I’ve been working on this photo series for a few months, with the intent of making either a book or a card set of this fairy tale about an adventurous young girl.
