My first custom doll ~ 2013 Alien girl

         I created my first custom doll this week
                       She is my little dancing pop star Alien 

                              
                                                          She was originally dark purple 
                                        I removed all the purple and made her a sparkly white 
                                           She was then painted very bright neon colors 

                     

Two of the most amazing artist

I have searched high and low for the artist who's work would compliment my new Scandinavian doll house. 
I  am happy to say I have found two! The first one is Angela Petsis , and  it was her sweet dreamy deer that caught my attention  a few days ago.I have since bought the original encaustic painting  know as Dear Love . This painting is actually 4x4  so it  will fit perfectly in the girls new home 
If you guys get a chance please drop in to her shop over at Etsy

The next artist who's work I adore is Kendra Binney . According to Kendra's profile she was raised in a small town with no shoe stores. Most of her time was spent barefoot searching the tall grass for  spiders and snakes, and other hidden treasures.

I fell in love with Kendra's whimsical paintings immediately . I went through Her shop and marked just about everything she had as a favorite !  It was incredibly hard for me to pick just one painting , but I manged to narrow it down to two of her pieces. And I like to add most of her work is on a small scale, so it's perfect for a doll house. Here are the two I'm deciding between .
This is a 4x7 . Tell me this doesn't take your breath away . 


This one is just as stunning as the other . And what I love about her work is the more you look at it the more stuff you find , kinda like a treasure hunt ,lol. This a 8x4 and it is so special to me because I raise painted ladies, which she has painted beautifully here.


If you want to see more of her incredible work I posted a link to her store ! 

White

                                           Here' an another look at what i'm working on .
                                I painted this portrait of little red a few months ago when I was making a necklaces for a customer. Turned out she went with a different painting I did, so this one will be used in my Scandinavian, folklore, white magic line that I'm still working on. 
                                               The concept is white + white = More White

A sneak peek at my Scandinavian, folklore, white magic style new jewelry line

I have been busy all summer creating a new jewelry line that I'm calling white magic. It's inspired by the Scandinavian style, folklore, and Magic !.  Here's  a sneak peek @t what I've been up to !. 
                         All work and images © Avabunny 2012

                                 
                                   This is my little moon fairy. Painted in oil 

 

                   
                        The primary colors for my new line are sliver and white 
                             I then added a hint of sparkle and traces of blood red

The stuff hanging off the necklaces that looks like hair  I took off a witches head is actually a sparkle ribbon that I pulled apart. 

                                            These are some random pieces for another necklace

                          This little guy was made with ink on suede, and then leather backed

This is a deco girl done in ink and she will be leather backed

                                                 Today I'm adding more little sneak peeks 
                                                   This is little red  done Scandinavian style!

                                           
                              I painted this little portrait of little red a few months back.
                                                ~   Now I will use her for this line ~

                                                     
                                       This was a unicorn I bought a few months back . 
                                                         I'm making  him white ! 

                                         
                                                           This too will be white !

                                                   
                                                            And like magic they are white!
                                           No, not magic!, just spray paint for jewelry,lol

         

                      

Floating Fairy House

Awhile back I talked about making floating Fairy Houses, Well  I'm almost finished with one! .

It' a bit of a time consumings process you see. You basically take a balloon and rub it down with Vaseline. Then you start wrapping the Vaseline covered balloon with yarn that was soaked in fabric stiffener, and you can also add glitter like I did.  

                                                        

After you have wrapped the balloon completely you let it dry out for a day or so.

Once dry you can pop the balloon and pull it out and  go to work designing your fairy house. 
This is how mine looks so far.

As you can see in the pictures once mine dried I cut a large hole in the middle added white cotton fluff to make a floor . I added little birds a top and dangled chains and sparkle piece off the bottom. I also wanted to furnish the inside of the house with little people stuff, so I ordered an amazing bed off  Etsy. 
                                                   It arrived a few weeks ago. 

It may not look like it but it's still pretty roomie inside. I'm going to try and make a small table and chair for the house. I was even thinking of adding on to the house with another room . This house is big enough to hold a petite Blythe doll :) Once I make a few more of these houses I'm going to start adding big bay windows and all kinds of stuff. This was my first attempt !

I got the paper goods;)

I'm working on a clothing line for Blythe dolls.The concept is a little off the wall tho'.
So far I've made the Headband. It's made completely out of paper..yup...paper:) 
Here's a little peek~  All work © Avabunny 2011

The dress it still being worked on. I showed this paper headband to a few friends,one of 'em laughed and said I have far to much time on my hands.I probably do,lol. But let me tell you guys this was a pain in butt to make. This is just one in many paper headbands I'm going to make. The next one will have a titanic theme;)


I also took some pictures from around my house today. 
                   Here's some of my jewelry supplies.

I know it's a lot! It's not even half of what I own. I have so much more packed away in bags and boxes. I  guess you could say if I have a passion for something I stock up!.And well..I  love making Jewelry<3


I also came into a boatload of coffee.Compliments of a good friend  Wanna see ?!?!,lol

Wanna know the kicker.. I really only like Tasters Choice,lol.But This coffee was free and is actually pretty good. Later <3
