Life and responsibilites have set up camp outside my door. But things are finally calming down to where I can hopefully get back to creating and posting!<br />
If you follow me on facebook then you've probably read my post about the person that copied the look of my dolls then had the gall to send it into a magazine as her own look,.I'm not going to harp on this as I normally like to keep my posts fun and informative.But I'll say this, I am happy when my work inspires someone to want to create, but hopefully they will have the ethics not to copy and have the desire to create there own style. It takes practice and time to find your own look. It's a small world and the artists in it know who created what. When someone can look at a doll, or painting etc, and just"know" who created it without seeing the name, thats called "Identity of design". We are all inspired by the work of others, thats what makes us grow and contribute to the next generation of artists. Search for your own look and be a leader not a copier!<br />
The magazine has apoligized for publishing the copier, saying they trust that the artists that send in work to be published are ethical, that they will give credit where credit is do. I am told there will be forth coming articles on Identity of design and copyright, I am happy to say!<br />
There... thats all I will say about that! <br />

I was cleaning up one of my many stacks of books and inspiration photos, when I ran across the Alice book from Tim Burtons movie. Of course, instant inspiration!!<br />
I know Alice has been done a zillion times but I never get tired of her!! Here, her blind-eyed and unpainted head waits for the colors that will soon make her come Alive!! Always my favorite part, to see the a character come alive right in front of you...lets hope she still wants to be Alice after she gets her paint...they all have a mind of their own!<br />
Eternally yours,<br />

I was hoping to have these done a couple of weeks ago, but lifes unexpected adventures and a bout with the stomache flu slowed me down a bit. Like Roseane Roseanna Danna said "Theres always something"!!<br />
These tiny ones are a nice break from the larger ghosties. I've been feeling the fairys whisper in my ear though, so who knows maybe the next one will have wings. It's been a while since I've done a fairy.<br />
I've been behind in posting info on my blog, any many of you have asked questions about how to get started creating dolls, and I've promised to post some info about that.<br />
I mostly work in Polymer clay, but occassionally used the japanese stone clay LaDoll.<br />
I started with Super Sculpy and it has been my clay of choice for over twenty years. I mix it with preemo to get the color and consistancy that I like. There are many brands of polymer clay on the market.Each brand is a bit different, some being softer to blend and some much harder. My suggestion is to experiment with some of the small blocks of clay of each to find the one that works best for you.I've tried them all and always find myself going back to Super Sculpy.<br />
You can find it on line and on ebay if you don't have a craft store near you. I buy in bulk from Creative wholesale.com, but there are many online sources. If you are planning on working a lot in polymer clay a pasta machine is a must!!<br />
I see alot of artists in their descriptions of their work talk about baking at the manufacturers recommended temp, But something I concider of MOST importance is "conditioning" the clay. This refers to, Pinching, Pulling,Squishing, and Kneading the clay like you would bread dough. This ensures that the polymers are properly blending consistantly through out the clay. It will make your clay stronger and is essential for good strong clay. Just imagine making a cake, and not properly blending the ingredients, same thing for your clay.To get an idea if your blending enough take a small amount of white clay and add a piece of colored clay to it, now blend untill you have a smooth consistant color without streaks. This blending should be done the same way with the flesh colored clay, even if you are not adding a color. Proper blending is a must,(no matter which brand of clay) and thats where the pasta machine comes in. I run my clay through the machine over and over then work it with my hands, then run it through again and repeat the process. It is time consuming and the most boring thing about creating, but you will be rewarded with a must stronger doll and a nicer look in the end. A doll must not only look appealing but strength in the construction it is a must for your work to last through time!!<br />
I'll write more tips later as promised. I hope this information helps in your doll creating!<br />
Dark Blessings,<br />

</div>Poor Master Ed, his only firend is the ghost man attached to his wooden pull toy! He wanders in search of a playmate, but unfortunatly scares everyone away!<br />
Master Ed clothes are made from a vintage masonic sash. I hand painted stripes on it, but for some reason they don't show up in the photo....ghost stripes, I guess!<br />

A little Memento Mori Theater display.<br />The idea was to do a bust of a Ghostie or something smaller that wouldn't take as much time as a full sized doll,...well it was a nice thought..., but after I did the bust I thought it needed a little something else, so I created the base from an old block of wood then covered it with vintage velvet. It still needed something more, so I took a mold from an old coffin plaque that said "our Darling" poured it in plaster, and added it to the front. I like that way it turned out, but felt it still needed something else, so I did the back drop for it from striped paper...it was kinda plain, so I thought it would look better to add a bit of theatrics to it. I photocopied some theater curtains from one of those dover books and hand colored them and added some details. It still needed something more, so I trimed it in the same old velvet as the base, made some curly decorations out of cardboard. I then molded another smaller "Our Darling" and attached it to the inside.<br />So my idea to create something that "wouldn't take me as long" as a full sized doll, actually took me longer to create than if I would have just done a doll!

I will be listing her in my Etsy shop tomorrow, Sat. the 19th. So if your interested keep an eye out!<br /><br />Also, if any of you had e-mailed me in the last 3 months or so, and never heard from me...Please forgive me! I am not Ignoring you!!<br />I had become rather lax about checking my e-mails, and found myself saying "oh, I'll do it tonight, or in the morning"....well you know the rest!! Now it's been around 3 months...at least sometime before Christmas... and the amount of mail is boggeling to say the least. You'd have to take me out in a straight jacket if I attempted to wade back through it all, which I don't think I will attempt!!<br />So again, I beg your forgivness if you have e-mailed and I never replied.Please re-email if you need to! I shall be better.... I promise! (Ms "P" is cracking her tiny whip...she's scarey)!<br /><br />So for now I won't bore you with any more!! Watch for photos of the newest ghostie and some in the making!!<br />Have a SpOOkTacular Evening!!Gail Lackeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11306850117373362279noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041113966138705076.post-68662491333831906282011-02-01T20:25:00.000-08:002011-02-01T20:43:03.917-08:00A New Ghostie!Mz P informs me I was a bad blogger last year and I'd better snap out of it!<br />Heaven knows you'd better not get on the wrong side of her, so I'm hoping I can be a better blogger and a better "ghostie maker" this year.<br />That being said.

Her ghostly head is attached to a vintage Florentine frame. The total piece measures 9"1/2 tall and 7 wide. I"ve used vintage mauve millinery flowers with vintage netting mixed with hand dyed gauzes and newer paper flowers.

I passed her by every day on my way into the studio,stopping to fuss with the blonde tresses and trying different things, holding up different hair colors and different fabrics.

Her gown was a remnant from and antique french ball gown. The only thing I don't care for is she needs a doll stand, which I really dislike, as most my dolls are free standing, and I feel the stand distracts from her other worldly-ness. I guess I'll have to create some unseen stand for her.</div><div>But, she went from one of those dolls that just didn't seem to go anywhere to being on of my favorites...and it only took under two years!!LOL!</div><div>Hope you enjoy her!</div><div>SpOOkTacularly Yours,</div><div>Gail<br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div>Gail Lackeyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11306850117373362279noreply@blogger.com28
