When I posted a few items on Etsy back in May I had no idea that I would receive the wonderful response I am receiving. Thank you. Your purchases and frequent visits has triggered some strange Etsy algorithm that now makes my store more visible in searches.

I am proud to announce that the sewing production side of my Art Studio is now fully set up. I once again have a functioning sewing machine, a new embroidery machine and have restocked of all my sewing tools and gadgets.

I've also completed the necessary procedures to resize my huge vault of Clea Bella patterns to also fit 15 1/2" Gene and 16" Tyler, sizes that will be necessary when I come out with my new characters, Lady Windslow and Zinobia Swan.

Now for the really good news: next step is dolls. dolls. Beautiful, silky, resin dolls. I'm also back in conversation with my USA made resin vendor and, once again, I have a functioning compressor for the pressure pots and vacuum chambers, mandatory equipment for making resin dolls.

I see a lot of artists switching to computer sculpting and 3d printed dolls these days. NOPE! Not me. I still sculpt all my dolls by hand, make my own molds and hand pour/make each part. When I bring Clea and her cast of theatre folks back on the market, I want you to know that every doll is literally hand made with all the love and attention that comes from making art with dirt-under-the-fingernails.

Below are photos of my only surviving, fully assembled, Resin DeeDee. I plan to revamp her face-up and make her look less "painted," but I do hope these photos are a pleasant reminder of the canvass you and I get to work with.

Thank you again for your support. I couldn't be doing this without you.

Happy Collecting,
Bogie








Because I was a dancer (musical theatre geek) myself when I was young, I sculpted Clea (thus DeeDee too) to have that impressive muscular dancer's back that creates the most beautiful shadows when she wears backless fashions.
