New DOLLS, New CAT, New FLOWERS!

I have just finished two dolls inspired by images on Moodboard (you can see all on my flickr page ~ HERE
I had fun making feet! & painting henna tattoos on her feet & legs....
She is in my ETSY SHOP now.

A commissioned Art Doll ~


Our new stray kitty (# 13!)... she has made herself at home, & is totally lovable.  Meet Grey ~

This is the first time we have experienced spring in our new home ~ these are three trees loaded with color ~ our lovely mailman did tell me what they were called, but now I can't remember!




Hope everyone is having a great week!

    Oh Abi!!! I so love the feet on your new doll and the henna tatoos are so fitting for her, love her ring, love her outfit and her hair, love everything about her!
    Mr. Grey is a very handsome guy! I'm so jealous of the trees you have in bloom already! We still have snow on the ground here. However, we have been fortunate to have blue and sunny skies, so it's a promise of spring. Much love to you. Teri

    Your dolls are all so special...each one unique and unlike anything I've ever seen! Your latest are no exception!

    Do you really have 13 cats?! Wow! Grey looks so sweet, though...her expression is so inquisitive :)

    I grew up in an engineering community with a few people from the Middle East. I loved it when my friends came to school with the henna on their hands; your doll is gorgeous.

    And the commissioned doll is so SWEET!! she is beautiful--she looks like any girl's best friend:)

    She (Henna) is so beautiful - probably one of my favourites.
    You did the tattoos wonderfully. The costume and fabrics are really beautiful.

    Grey is so pretty and looks very intelligent and inquisitive. It must be nice to live in a place where you can have so many animal friends and give homes to them.

    New dolls, the sweetest kitty and gorgeous flowers everywhere. Spring is here and you've shown everything so beautifully. Your dolls are so eclectic and the details are so much fun to look at. I'd never heard of "Moodboard" before so what a delight to have it introduced to me. Really Grey has one of the most feminine and sweetest kitty faces I've ever seen. I just adore her :)

    Your menagerie continues to grow. I'm not surprised. Love your dollies as usual and the little hennaed feet are awesome. Oh, the cat's cute too.

    Grey is such a beautiful kitty! So happy to find that she has made her way to live with you. :) Your dollars are gorgeous -both of them. The henna is simply amazing! It's so lovely to see signs of spring where you are. We are just getting a few baby buds on our lilacs. :) Happy April! Theresa

    Oh, the first blossoms look so similar to what we are seeing her ein Portugal....and I have no idea what they are.....

    Grey is lovely....

    and...of course.... you new gals are great........
    As soon as I get home I must complete Rumpel...but, honestly....I have been out of that mode for over two weeks now...and ehhhhh...... it will be tough to get back to doll and bear making mode...... hopefully I will be able to jump back into it. ...
    Yesterday it was +31C here.... and at home it will still be -2C or so.... cold and miserable.... waht a come down...... sigh....

    beautifil dolls..ditto to what everyone else has said about them..
    cutest Miss Grey...those eyes are to drown in...
    the blossom is from the Pruus variety (related to the plum tree) and the other one is a variety of Japonica..it will have leaves after the flowers..does have some thorns and a strange aple like fuit (which can actually be eaten stewed)too
    what amazing sights you will see from now on in your garden...love spring (but first i have to endure the winter here)...lucky you

    Dear Abi, when do you succeed to create such beautiful and unique dolls? Every time there're some new details like the tattooed feet, the spectacles, the hair-do... I like your second doll very much!
    Grey seems amiable and pretty!
    I suppose the third blossom is of an apple. I've seen the first tree (a decorative one) in our park, last Spring I took it on a photo!
    Have a happy springtime!
