{New Dolls, Blythe, & a Brown Widow, not} oh, & an Etsy SALE!

Here are a couple of ornament art doll busts I made for the ADO mini monthly challenge ~ half & half ~

Harriet the Pig, & Evelyn the Cat

My obsession for Blythe dolls is mounting.  I don't know why, I really didn't like them until recently.  I blame my friends Wendy & Deb.
I have just ordered my first Blythe, whom I intend to customize.  She will be my model for the clothes line I am going to create.

Best photographer of Blythe Dolls I've seen thus far.

We have an amazing Black Widow spider living under the eaves of the studio/sunroom (several in fact!) - I think they are beautiful ~

I couldn't get a decent photo, unlike this one by Rivadock4

The other morning, I spotted a spider on the inside of the window, right where one Black Widow has her nest on the outside.  At first, I wondered why she had moved inside - closer inspection realised it wasn't her.  I got very excited because I thought it was a Brown widow... alas, it wasn't.  

Poor thing wasn't happy about being in a glass jar, so I found her a new home.  Outside.

To celebrate my excitement of my new shop (although it's empty right now!) I 'm having a little sale over at my ~ Etsy art doll shop ~ 

{new dolls & ebay}

I joined Ebay (was an Ebay.co.uk member) but it's all changed so much - took me forever to figure it all out.
I listed my Zutter machines, since I don't use them, and got the bug for auctions again, so I listed my latest doll ~
Here is the listing ~ Meadow
Feedback welcome - There is still an hour or so on the Zutter machines if you want a new toy :O)

Meadow

I also made another doll called Noirelle ~

She is in my Etsy shop

I wish they would stay as kittens :O)

Hope everyone has a great week!
