One of them has a lizard inside, the other one is a hand, reaching up...



this little pot was for my father in law for father's day..





close-up of the one with the hand inside...



it made me think of those gimmick coffins they used to have as a ward against being buried alive, with like bells hook-ups or windows or something. That's an old doll-hand I was saving for I don't know what purpose.. I always have piles of weird little things lying about the manse..

I had made this one for me Mum for her birthday the other day...

Glad to see you survived another evening!

What's up?

Me, I'm having some OJ, and I gotta stuff some dolls, and I thought about going to the book sale, but its late now, and its cold and dark outside (bummer). Plus I gotta stuff some dolls - not like i'll be able to photograph them (grrr, New England weather)... you know, I oughta make a leetle studio (doll sized) right here to take pics of them in -- maybe i can have it fold up, somehow when I'm not using it...

oh, and I got Twitter! i LOVE twitter, its sooo much fun:

Hey, check it out: http://craftrevolution.com/magazine/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=53

Its funny they picked Arwin - Arwin was a prototype for the new "Monster-y Pals" line I've been working on.. I'm talking to someone right now about wholesale for them, I sold a bunch o' those at the Foo Fest on Saturday... they're slightly different in the final version, a stockier body, about an inch taller, and with a longer torso...
