Radiation was hard, and I had a lot of nasty side effects... a blood test shows that my blood cells are very low, that explains why I am so tired and weak all the time. But, I have also the help of alternative medicine, like nutrition and supplements and I feel that every day is a little better. I hope that soon I will feel better to sculpt again. My fingers are already itching to do another

I am still here, but I have injured my back and will need some recovery time, sigh... But I am usingthis "vacation" to enhance my knowledge of the human anatomy, so hopefully my sculptures will be a lot better when I'm back :))Have a great day!Alex

I'm not sure if she is finished yet... well, maybe it is time to start another sculpture, lol!There are ten other sculptures that are standing in the cupboard above my working place. I should take the time and sell them already, arghh... but first I need to make some eyes for my new head :)Have a nice weekend!Alex

My latest interest is in animal sculpting, something I wanted to try a long time.I wanted something to sit on for my fairy boy, maybe a mushroom or something like that.But then, I thought, he should not be so alone in his "despair" and decided I have to sculpta mouse friend for him...(In the library I found only one copy of an animal anatomy bookfor artists, that did not cover critters like mice

This little fellow is already clothed, I used cloth instead of clay this time. It is silk that I hand-dyed months ago. He needs hair and some embellishment maybe... and a big hug :)Dieser kleine Elfling hat nun schon ein bisschen Kleidung bekommen, benutzt habe ich Seide, die ich vor Monaten handgefärbt habe. Haare und ein bisschen Verzierung wäre nicht übel... und vor allem eine liebe Umarmung

I have been busy drawing children the last weeks, just to learn more about the anatomy and expression. It helps me to plan the pose, too. So many things to consider when making a little sculpture, lol!When I start a sculpture it is so fascinating for me how the little person evolves, because somehowit is there in the clay right from the beginning.I hope this little one does not mind my big

I am trying something new... my drawing teacher told me to work in a bigger scale, both with my figure drawing and sculpting. So this baby is not really a miniature, it is about 25 cm and sculpting in this bigger scale is fun :)But, yesterday I had to learn something new... my armature, while strong enough for a dollhouse size sculpture, is not able to hold so much clay on a bigger sculpture.

I will post pictures of my newest dollhouse girl tomorrow, the glue is still drying... only some little details and she will be ready for picture taking :))While waiting, I decided to work on another project, a bigger sculpture (about 8 inches, probably).I think it is a little different, and I can't decide if it is male or female... mmmmhhh...Only the head and upper part is sculpted now, here

The last days I was busy with head sculpting, there is so much to learn... I use a lot of pictures for sculpting but the real thing is always best! I'm so lucky that I have children that I can bind on a chair for sculpting practice, heheheh... just kidding!But, sculpting exercises will not get you these cool comments, like: "you're the greatest sculptor I ever met.... etc." (I am dreaming now,

You may think that I have been idle the last weeks, but I was really busy... studying the anatomy.So, I was a good girl and did some hand studies, not in dollhouse size though, that would kill my eyes, lol!Also, I wanted some space to work on, so these hands are the size of about a 8-9 inch doll.Can you see, that I had a lot of fun making them? I even numbered them, I am so proud of myself :))

In the last days I practiced sculpting african faces, it is quite fascinating... You probably remember the two heads I posted some days ago, here is what I made from one - a little girl. I think she is very lovely, and now I only have to decide what dress and hairstyle she will wear :))Hugs,Alex

A while back I tried to sculpt an african girl, but she looked more like a caucasian painted black... it is not easy to overcome your ethnic background in a sculpting speaking way. And knowing the anatomy is quite helpful, too, lol!In the last days I tried again, and I'd like to show you two heads.

and Bella, I took some pictures of them together, because in the beginningI wanted to make them for the theme of "friendship" or "sisters".I love it when sculptures seem to interact, but will have to practice :))Hugs,Alex

Here is my newest one, finished today. Another two are waiting to be completed soon :) I love to sculpt and these little ones are so nice for practicing my skills and working on expression. Sometimes I struggle with the word "doll" because I want so badly create more than a "doll", but don't we all want that, lol? Hier ist meine Neueste, heute beendet. Zwei weitere Figuren sind auch fast

  Here comes part 3 of the mermaid tutorial, my intention was to help you sculpting the head as easy as I can make it for you. Because a realistic face is very complex, it needs a lot of anatomy to learn and this can take years. But making dolls in a manga style way is a great way to learn the sculpting process and in the end you made yourself a sweet doll! So you can have your cake and eat it,

Yesterday I was so exhausted, when I finally finished putting the first part of the mermaid tutorial together, I had no strength left to comment this tut. I always forget how much there is to do when making tutorials but every hardship is forgotten when my reader find it useful ;)) This mermaid tutorial is really huge, because I try to explain every step of the sculpting process.

After being told, the hairstyle would be too messy and actually making her older, I made some tiny changes to her hairstyle and make-up. I added ridiculous long lashes, but I'm sooooo unspeakable happy that I managed to glue them on ;)) Now she hopefully does not look like an old lady, does she? Hugs, Alex

Well, it is my way, of course there is no wrong or right to do it, because all that counts is the outcome, lol! I spend a lot of time and effort practicing head sculpting. And yesterday I thought I let you take a look over my shoulder, so to speak, and made pictures of the process. Because I thought it would be really cool, you can watch it in the sidebar as an animation. Have fun, did you

Nothing better than a good artistic crisis, lol! In the last days I thought about changing the scale I'm working at, maybe the material, too... Ceramic clay is nice to work with etc... But then I decided to make only a tiny little change: A posable dollhouse girl, and on top of it... sewing the clothes she wears. Leave me a comment, if you like her :)) Hugs, Alex

Marja is giving a lovely coat away for celebrating her 100 followers, I think it is a very generous gift :) Hopefully I will win, lol, it would be perfect for the lady I started to sculpt yesterday :)) And maybe I should make a doll as a give away for the event of my first 100 followers? Or better, for the person that posts the 100th comment on my blog (Marja would have to best chances,

Just after making some pictures of my newest dollhouse child, I named her "my little sunshine", as I'm longing for some sunshine now (I'm a summer's girl, lol) ... the battery died! Well, this gave me time to think about presenting my dolls to you. And as there are some good animation tutorials at the web, I tried to make one myself. The quality of the pictures is not too good, I think it is

Karin made a little tiny mouse sculpture, look how cute: And look at this nice wooden chest, really nice for one of my "older" dollhouse dolls :)) Rita got a gift, too.

I know, I digress, lol, but this is so much fun! My newest little one:   Now, back to anatomy study ;)  And next week I want to finish the armature for the male doll, well, let's hope so. I'm feeling the winter blues and have a cold, too. Give me some sunshine, pleeeeeeeaaase!

I'm still learning to draw with my tablet... and it feels like being a five year old again, trying her color pencils, lol! Well, this is the painting I made today,  a tiny little one, so that you cannot see the wobbly lines ;))   I hope you like it, dear reader :)Yours, Alex

Hey all, I'm still sculpting, but as you know, I want to learn the anatomy and this means no babies for a while. Not for too long, though, lol! Well, here is, what I'm doing these days, started a head...   Thanks for looking and I wish you a sweet Valentine Day:))

The pictures I made earlier did not do her justice, really... oh my... taking pictures is not easy! Well, I tried again and made another set of pictures, they are not too bad, so I added a link in the sidebar. And... Sakura has got a kitten to play, isn't it cute? Die alten Fotos von ihr haben mir gar nicht gefallen, sie werden ihr wirklich nicht gerecht. Fotografieren ist echt schwer! Also habe

This dolly I made ages ago, lol! And when you look at her arms, you can see that she has a serious problem with missing bones, oh my... but I love her nevertheless, because she looks so sweet, waiting for another fairy tale to be told...   Dieses Püppchen habe ich schon vor Ewigkeiten modelliert, lach! Und wenn man genau hinschaut, kann man gut sehen, dass sie ein ernstes Problem mit

udying Anatomy makes hungry, lol! This is, what I made this week, well, at least my dollhouse dolls will have a nice dinner tonight, broiled chicken on salad and french fries, and some oven fresh bread to go with it... Anatomie lernen macht hungrig, lol! Dies hier habe ich diese Woche gebastelt, nun, zumindest meine Puppenhauspuppen werden heute Abend eine deftige Mahlzeit bekommen, Brathähnchen

Another blog member, Cia, from briarwoodminiatures has given me this cute mini web graphic as a gift. Isn't it cute?   Cia sells mini web graphics and more at her artfire online shop. I think her dollhouse furniture are adorable. Look at this bench, I love the farm scene: Another bench and a cupboard, oak stained: You can find her artfire online shop here: http://www.artfire.com/users

If you want to know what I'm doing these days, well, I'm studying anatomy. And you should do so, too, lol! After surviving the first days reading names like Sternocleidomastoid, Brachioradialis or Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis it is not too bad... sigh! Thank goodness, I will not have to remember all the names, only their form and location... although I noticed that I remember some names, lol!

 Just finished the newest one, this time I tried to make her asian looking and a real tomboy too, lol! Meine Neueste sollte asiatisch aussehen, und ich denke man sieht, dass sie ein echter Wirbelwind ist?         Thank you for looking :))

Happy new year all :)) Here is my next advice when working with polymer clay, how to keep it clean... You will see that really everything sticks to the clay and all the tiny hairs (your's and your pet's) will find a way into your nice sculpture soon. So, what can you do to prevent this? First, keep your working place and your hands meticulously clean. While sculpting a wet cloth or baby wipes

Hello creative minds! This is about baking the polymer clay. Polymer clay will only harden when you bake it, for the right temperature and times please read the producer's instructions. My next advice for you is, buy a thermometer for checking the temperature of your oven, most often they do not heat correctly and baking the clay to low or to high can have desastrous outcomes. When you bake to

Hey all, I will continue the miniature baby wip soon, but today I want to start something new. I have got a lot of questions, and maybe it will be helpful to post answers in this blog. Faq1: What polymer clay to use (or not, lol)? The first one is about polymer clay itself. When I started to sculpt with polymer clay, the question was "what polymer clay" to use? For me the question was not so

This one is for my mother, she asked me to post some pictures how I sculpt these tiny dollhouse children. It was surprisingly hard for me to sculpt AND having to stop inbetween to make pictures. When I sculpt I'm in a kind of bliss, do you think I'm sculpting addicted? Well, let's start the work in progress... Let's start with the head, but beware, this is not for the faint of heart, lol!
