I made a couple test dolls. One of which is a custom mighty muggs monster; I got a bunch of blanks for cheap recently. The second is a Wizard I made from scratch using polymer clay, fabric, and batting all on a wire armature.
With the monster I wanted to try out my paint on, and gluing pieces onto a DIY doll like this. Its sort of like a munny, but by Hasbro. Then, with the wizard I wanted to try making a doll like this. I wasn’t too concerned with how he turned out I didn’t really do too much planning on him. The sculpting is pretty basic but he’s kind of cute. now that I know how thses will turn out I wall definitely attempt more involved designs for both.

It’s just one of those wan, lackluster days where I can muster the energy for nothing more than sucking down coffee and browsing the interwebs. Ohyeah. So far, I’ve found a number of items which would make this experience far more pleasant/fun/bearable.

Last night while walking down Main Street Northampton deciding whether to eat or check out some art first, my companion and I happened upon an extraordinary lump of a creature tip-toeing down the sidewalk in the opposite direction. The creature was an amalgam of plush dolls, a little mound of soft, colorful faces and appendages. He or she ducked behind a mailbox, crouched down and periodically tossed small handmade books through an eye-level opening in the plushness. I snagged one of the charming little books. You can see more photos and scanned images of the book below.
