FABULOUS FLOOZIES SNEAK PEAK

I thought since I mentioned my Fabulous Floozies a few posts back I should give you a sneak peak at them.

I am having so much fun making these Fabulous Floozies with their Sassy Sayings. Its probably because they are the wilder side of who I want to be... to a point. They do allow me to say things I might not normally say out loud.

This sweet little nun is a bit discheveled in her mini skirt, halter top, & black ultra suede boots with fringe. I'll probably go to hell for making this one. Although the tag that is attached to her says "Bless Me Father For I Have Sinned".

The Floozie dressed in pink with a Martini Glass, her tag says "Good Girls are made of Sugar and Spice, Bad girls are made of Vodka and Ice"

I have 10 Fabulous Floozies created and 10 more on the drawing board, or should I say sewing table. They are available for purchase for $100.00 each. I welcome custom orders, if interested please contact me.

Published Twice in The Same Month!

Can you image how excited I am I was published twice in the same month. Katrina, the Russian Ice Skater was in the January issues of Soft Dolls and Animals magazine & Doll Crafter and Costuming magazine.

Katrina Karpov sits with her hands folded on her lap nervously awaiting her 1st Figure Skating competition. Katrina stands approximately 28" tall in her fur trimmed black skating skirt, turtle neck top and red polka dot leggings, her hair is mink brown created with fun fur. Katrina Karpov is based on a pattern from Patti Culea.

NEW LINE OF DOLLS

I am working on a new line of dolls, they are going to be called Fabulous Floozies(tm) they are about 10 - 12 inches tall and are very busty and risque. I am having so much fun making these beauties. I will post some photos soon.

Our first Doll Club Meeting at our new location was a great success fun was had by all.
Six members were in attendance. We are going to start our first Round Robin in January, the theme is New Beginnings.

New Location for Dollie MaMa and the Fabric Floozies Doll Club

Great News!!! Dollie MaMa and the Fabric Floozies has a new location.

Day & Date: Second Wednesday of the month
Time: Noon-2 pm(so we don't have to drive when it's dark)
Place: YMCA-Valley of the Sun Power Ranch Family YMCA, 4546 East Haven Crest, Gilbert, AZ 85297 in the Power Ranch community.

Same Great price of $5.00 per meeting, per month as long as we have 10 ladies.

We have lots of room to grow, light, bright and great atmosphere. We have more elbow room, The increased space will not only allow us to accommodate additional members, but also provide space to bring in other artists as instructors for seminars... which could even stimulate club growth by making other artists in the area aware of our group. My goal as the club founder is to bring in fresh ideas and techniques that will benefit each of us. As our club grows, I also hope to obtain discounts and other benefits for club members with fabric stores and other merchants in the area

Traci - Hair Stylist Doll

Traci was fun to make, probably because she was made with love for my favorite hair stylist. Traci has blonde fun fur hair with a few streaks of color and blue eyes almost like the real Traci minus the fun fur for hair.

Her dress and slip on shoes were made with a Batik fabric and a solid hot pink fabric for her pants. I purchased a child’s size toothbrush, cut off most of the handle and then rounded and sanded the end to make it smooth, (Dennis did the cutting and sanding part). Voila... a little hairbrush! I also found a pair of tiny scissors and a hair blower that were little charms and tucked then into her waist band of her dress.

Here she is at her new home BB Harringtons in Chandler, Arizona.

Survivor Doll

My latest doll is Sue Vivor…….

Her face is sculpted and colored using prisma pencils for her features and micron fine point pens were used for thin lines around eye and eye lashes and brows. Oh I almost forgot I used gel pen for her pupil and whites of her eyes. She is wearing a hot pink dress with lace trim. Her black pants have tiny hearts on them. I used pink ribbon enamel charms as earrings. Her long black hair is a mixture of solid fun fur and flecked fun fur with color. I used two tiny scrunchies to pull her hair back away from her eyes it also makes it easier to see her earrings. She has individual fingers on her tiny hands which are sometimes a pain to make (I should say always a pain to make). I must have made 3 pairs of hands before I was happy with the outcome.

She is joining other artists' creations in the Saving the Tatas battle against breast cancer Silent Auction, at Gallery 225 in Gilbert AZ, October 15, 2010 from 6-9PM.

Please join us for this charitable event. 100% of the silent Auction and raffle proceeds go directly to Susan G. Komen, Passionately Pink for the Cure.

Not So Raggetty

I just shipped off two dolls to their new home in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. I wanted them to be my version of Raggetty Ann style dolls but for some reason they didn’t turn out so Raggetty.

They were a custom order. I wanted them to resemble 2 little sisters, one with dark brown hair and brown eyes and the other with red hair and blue eyes. They are a keepsake for Sofia Elizabeth (2 years 10 months) and Nicole Ann (1 year 1 month) two of my grandchildren.

I shipped a box of things to my grandchildren. I made a strawberry shortcake flannel blanket on one side and minky fabric on the other for Sofia and for Nicole I made a blanket with quilt squares some of the squares were chenille and some were tiny print flannel with a solid pink flannel on the back side.

The dolls were also packed in the same box with other games and toys. So when my daughter Nicole opened the box Sofia put her little hands on her cheeks and said ”Oh my goodness”, took both dolls out of the box and took them to her room.

Later on that night they were tucked in bed with her with just there little heads poking out.. She said they were going night-night. Not sure if my daughter will be able to put them on a shelf to be just a keepsake.

They are loved no matter what and that’s all that counts. As soon as I get a minute I will have to perfect a raggetty style of my own. I have so many ideas in my head I overwhelm myself.
