My Newest







SNOWDANCER

from Mamawolf Creations



On a cold and snowy winter’s eve, Mama sat at her window, imagining her pond coming alive in the spring. Movement caught her eye and she saw a fairy dancing in the snow... SnowDancer


This OOAK original artdoll sculpture is completely hand-sculpted from professional quality polymer clay. No molds were used.

SnowDancer is detailed to the best of my ability. She measures 9 inches tall, with lovely hand-painted features. Her hair is hand-carded, hand-washed and hand-combed angora.

Her clothing is also hand-made from iridescent fabric and her boots are trimmed with real rabbit fur. Her wings are made with blue fantasy fiber and fantasy film. They are gently posable, but not recommended as they are fragile.

A beautiful addition to any fairy collection.


THIS IS NOT A TOY AND IS NOT MEANT FOR

Stressful week

Wednesday was my granddaughter's 13th birthday. She is now officially a teenager! Tonight was supposed to be her birthday dinner, but 2 days before her birthday her great grandmother died and the funeral was today. Her dinner is re-scheduled for Sunday, which means PopPop can't go because he'll be sleeping so he can go to work Sunday night. THENNNNN I get a phone call yesterday that a friend of the family for forever died and his funeral is Monday...... And then I find out another friend of ours spent her vacation in the hospital with heart problems. What next?? The weather fits the general mood..... cold and rainy.

Got my ire up!

Most people who know me are aware that I'm usually, according to my husband, "lost in clayland". They also know I'm super pickey and a bit of a perfectionist, so I'm always on the lookout, or searching for sculpting tutorials, for help or just ideas. So, the other day I'm searching and found a site..... went to check it out because it belonged to someone who was a member of a group I belong to. First of all, it was irritating because it's made for a wide screen. How many of us can really afford a wide screen monitor? I can deal with that (barely), and she has a tab for "free tutorials". I click on the tab..... and the page says "for free tutorials go to my forums". Kinda weird, but okay, I'll go check out her forums. So, I click on her forums tab. Now, let me tell you.... I'll be 58 years old in a couple weeks, been married more than once, tended bar in a biker bar for 5 years, drove a big truck long-haul ........ so I'll admit to having gone around the block a few times..... BUT!!!!!!!!! I've never had an interest in porn, no matter if it's soft porn, hard porn.... I'm not interested. Sooooo imagine my dismay when the forum page opens and all I find there are ........ well, as far as I'm concerned, porn! Now, this is a fellow doll-artist. She does have some of her dolls on her site, but her quality of work has gone from pretty good to, well, in my opinion, crap! Must be the porn has affected her brain????? I don't know what this woman's problem is, but it's sites like hers that make sales difficult for the rest of us.
