speelmaats

my liefling het 'n skilpad
groen gemaak van lap
wat met sy doekvoet-pote
snags oor my gewete stap

my liefling het 'n houtpop
Pinokkio is sy naam
en oral waar my liefling woon
kan jy sweer woon langneus saam

die twee heers ewe opgewek
al jare oor my lief se bed
maar sedert ek by hom kom speel
maak hulle berekend vir my plek

Doll project

My absolute favourite project so far this year. Making dolls with the fourth grade class!

Art dolls?

What where????

Maureen Carlson's book

Bought a book and I absolutely love the trolls! Looks like someone I know.

These guys are tiny - the papa troll is about 4 inches tall and baby less than 2 inches.

Frustrated further attempts in clay

She looking better!!!

New polymer clay tries

Polymer Clay experiments

I tried to make dolls from polymer clay. This is far harder than it looks. She cracked herself laughing

some could dance

some can only sing!

and then there were the faeries...

Fever running high

Now scouring to find new patterns.....

New circle of friends

Patti Medaris Culea patterns

Second attempts

Ok so now I gained a bit of confidence - this is not so hard!! Its actually fun.

My very first tries

Studying countless articles on dollmaking I tried my hand at cloth dolls!
