Stupid Me, Bad Doll Luck

I have had bad luck with my last two dolls, one is a recast (I did not know what it was when I ordered it) and he has some issues. The other is from Ipelhouse and is not the right size, I screwed up and got the KID when I should have gotten the size up. He is just to small and delicate for me. So, if anyone is interested in a trade or might want to buy either of these two boys we can talk. I will sell them for what they cost me or trade for an elf boy or a Fairyland Minifee boy.  The recast (unauthorised copy) is based on a Ipelhouse JID Daniel and I would need at least $200 for him I think he cost closer to $300. The other is an African skin color (light brown) and is a boy with the Bennie head and would be at least $300. I feel like an idiot in both cases and if the last doll I ordered is not something I am happy with, I don't think I will get any more ever!

Tasmanian Tiger??

It would be great if this is a true story and they are not extinct!

Winter Goddess Finished?

I still need the final OK from the client, but I think this is now finished. The circles, bubbles are representative of the 4 seasons and the figures "hair" is snow with a wolf and polar bear. "White Goddess, Winter", 15 x 20, Acrylic and ProWhite on Canson board. Prints for sale (when I get better pics). Picture 38.

Winter Goddess Update 2

OK, almost done but still details and tweaking to do on some of it. The colors in this photo are way off in some areas!! The balls/bubbles are red, yellow, blue/green and blue/purple and in this photo they are just not right. I hope when it is done and I get photos in good light it will have the right coloring. Hope the client likes it!

Winter Goddess Update

No picture update since it is in one of those odd transition stages, but it is coming along well. I was not sure about it when I posted the first step but I have tweaked the face and now love it and have started adding the animals I had planed and it now looks great! By the end of the week it could be done or at least be at a stage I can show and updated picture of.

Grandson's Halloween

Well unfortunately I am informed pictures of my grandson's Halloween did not come out so I don't get to see them or show them off! His grandmother did however give me a great quote from 3 year old Logan, to quote him "it is the best Halloween I ever had!" This made me smile, I mean his 3rd one is his best (maybe the only one he remembers).

Ah well, maybe by next Halloween I will get to meet him and things will be better for me. As it is I am just so glad his grandmother keeps me updated and I get the occasional picture of him!

(I found out he went as Batman and I have this picture of him before Halloween. Apparently he has several different super hero costumes but did pick Batman for Halloween).

Still Looking For Replacement Statue

A while back I posted that one of my favorite statues had gotten broken, well I just found the box he came in and thought if I had the name I could find him online someplace...NO! The Statue by Design Toscano (who no longer carries it) was called "Pan of Rohallion" but all my searching finds a different statue by that name that is not even available as a reproduction! :(
If anyone has better google foo than I (that means anyone out there I am sure), you might look at the picture I posted of the broken statue and try and find one I can buy, maybe the name will help in  the search!
