Come scrissi tempo fa, sto imparando l'arte del disegno dei nodi celtici... Il mio maestro è attualmente Aidan Meehan, un ottimo artista ed un grande insegnante, seppure a distanza (seguo un corso per corrispondenza, gli invio le mie tavole e lui me le restituisce commentate). Questo è uno dei miei esercizi. As I wrote in a previous post, I am learning knots- drawing from an excellent artist and great teacher named Aidan Meehan; it is a correspondence course, I draw and send to him my works, and he sends them back to me with his comments. This is one of my exercises.

Approx. 35 cm high, long blond curly hair with a thin braid on the right side of her face, Venus is posable, has a sofa and a pedestal, so she can seat or stand up. She doesn't stand without her pedestal. The pedestal is covered with small mirrors: space between mirrors is gold-glittered. The sofa is silk-covered. Completly hand made by me with no use of moulds, from the very beginnng to the end, sofa and pedestal included. She will be on display at bambole a roma, on the 11th of april. ( http://www.bambolearoma.it/ ) . I will prepare a certificate of authenticity for her.  

Just because it takes a long time to do a ball jointed doll, while doing it I have decided to begin a small fairy, made of fimo: it took me a short time to finish her, and she is my first posable doll, in other words she has a soft body. She is dressed in a kind of can-can way (the french dance), and I am very proud of her tiny boots. Now that I have finished her I will come back to my ball jointed doll: I will bring the two of them at the next show I will participate, http://www.bambolearoma.it/  . Here some shots: (her name is Fragolina, wich in english means tiny strawberry) Poichè la realizzazione della mia ball jointed doll mi sta prendendo un bel pò di tempo, nel frattempo ho pensato di fare una fatina in fimo: è la mia prima posable doll, ha il corpo imbottito; porterò entrambe all'expo a cui parteciperò in aprile, www.bambolearoma.it . Nel frattempo inserisco qualche foto: si chiama Fragolina, e sono molto fiera di come sono venuti i suoi stivale...

Ok... in my enormous aughtiness I have decided to make a BJD: yes, a ball jointed doll!!!!!!! I have finished the body today, head, hands and feet are still missing, but I'm enthusiastic!!!!!!! I'm really excited, I want to finish it and possibly do another one in time for http://www.bambolearoma.it/  , the doll show I will participate in on the 11th of April, in Rome.... News will soon follow, I just wanted to let you all know about this and share my happiness for my new project!!!!! Hugs :-) Ebbene, nella mia enorme superbia ho deciso di realizzare una bambola snodabile, altresì nota con il nome di Ball Jointed Doll..... ho finito il corpo (eccetto testa, mani e piedi) oggi, sono entusiasta!!!! Voglio finirla e realizzarne un'altra (se possibile), per http://www.bambolearoma.it/ , un expo che si terrà, appunto, a Roma l'11 Aprile e al quale parteciperò..... Ulteriori notizie a poi, per ora volevo solo condividere con la rete l'entusiasmo per il mio nuovo...

At last , after many posts all saying "she's almost finished" and "I will post the photo in a short time", I can show you Elenoire, a Leanann Sidhe (the irish poets' muse):  I sell it on EBay here I report the description I wrote for the Ebay auction: Elenoire is a Leanan sidhe, the poets' muse; in celt mythology she is a fairy loving a human... men who fall in love with her, according to tradition, have short and intense lives: if she loves not being loved back, she becomes the slave of her lover; if she doesn't love her human companion, he becomes hers forever... She is approximately 42 cm high, made in air dry clay, with no muolds. Her dress is completely removable and hand-sewed (there are three pieces: corset, skirt and underskirt): her hair are made with mohair wool, and covered with glitters. The tree beside her has been made with the same material (air dry clay) hand painted and covered with small mirrors and golden glitters. Post ...
