Phew!!

Well, after a bit of panicking due to not having saved any details at all of how to log on to my blog again I'm now back. Thanks to all that gave suggestions as to how I could find my way back in. Needless to say I have written it all down this time...
Just wanted to show off what I'm working on at the moment (among other things). I decided it was time to design a new doll from scratch. Being in a "gothic" mood I have gone for fairy but with a darker twist.

This is "Protea the Prototype"!
I was going to call her something nice but I got the word "prototype" stuck in my head so she became Protea because it kind of sounds like prototype for some reason.
Protea isn't quite finished yet. Her wings need fixing as the glue I was using is useless! Need to get some new glue that actually glues things together. I need to tweak the pattern a bit too. Several things don't look or feel quite right about her. Her nose is to big, her ankles a bit too skinny, her arms a little too long, a bit too broad over the chest etc. Just little thing really. And, I do need to take better photos of her.

Glad to know that you got your blog up again. You doll is looking wonderful. All those little things you mention that are not quite right, well I think those are the little things that are making her look unusual and different. So in other words I think she is lovely just as she is. But then again it is what you want her to look like so look forward to seeing her completed.
