Dear All,
I have a whole jar full of eyeballs I've made over time (sounds creepy, doesn't it?) and I don't like a single pair for the current face I am making. So, now I am making another pair or two. I have yet to 'perfect' the best way to make eyeballs, so each pair is a learning thing. I can't really go much farther in a piece until the eyes are in, so. . . the 'eyes have it'---and they have to be just right.
My daughters wanted to take a trip to Goodwill for a 'new' purse. You never know what you will find there and for variety? Well, you can't beat a thrift store. However; I saw something that gave me pause today. I think someone who collected dolls like there was no tomorrow either died or got fed up and cleaned house. There was a large slew of dolls still in their boxes sitting on the Goodwill store shelves---from collectible Barbies to porcelain babies. (No, I didn't cart any of them home---some of them gave me the creeps.) I imagine some other 'collector' will snatch them up. I like dolls to a certain extent, but I can't imagine shelves and shelves just full of dolls staring back at me collecting dust along the way. (I hate dusting.) I think I'd have this crazy urge to take most of them apart and remake them into something less. . . cold.
Peace All,
the DragonLady

Ohhh going thrift store shopping is such fun. So wish you and the girls lived a bit closer...we would all have a blast!!
OMGOSH...I have two dolls that sit on my dresser...one was my mom's (an antique porcelain) and the other a restored babydoll that a friend gave me for Christmas. I love them both but two is enough for this home..LOL Poor lil Chazman covers them up when he goes in to watch TV with his Dad..says that just keep staring and staring and staring at him.
I love the way you make your eyes...you are so talented!!!
Hugs,
