House of Pugish

Well guys it has been simply ages since my last post... I've been very busy finishing up that bjd doll and am in the processes of designing another... have to work out what size I'd like to do and sketch up a nice body shape then carve it into Styrofoam! Will keep you all up dated as I go along :O))

But for now here are some finished pictures of the doll whom has yet to get a name! Any suggestions gratefull :o))

This is her under clothes... complete with a knife and sword in each boot...

This is the Dress type jacket that took me 2 days to design and sew.... all the clothes are done so they can be removed and she can be redressed...

Here's a close up of her face after I darkened around her eyes and added some eyelashes...also added the necklace ...

Hugs,
Sharon

37 today!! and just had to share all the super stuff I got so far... My Daughter Tammy has got me something as well but I won't open it till she gets home from work later tonight :o))

Here's a pic of all the Fabric I got from some wonderful girls in the CRAFT group... can't wait to start something with all that fabric!! I also got the greatest wee shopping bag that folds up into a pocket and fits perfectly into my bag so I always have an extra bag on hand...how cool is that!!
Oh and I was soooooo thrilled to get a wee needle felted bear head from Karen ...her first one and she gave him to me!!... thanks so much Karen love him to bits :o)) you did a fantastic job on him!!!

My good friend Sharon also in NZ gave me some gorgeous skin care products some crafting mags and some fabric... Girl I had to try the skin mask out ...fantastic ...haven't had a face this clean in years LOL oh and that hand cream ... perfect !! ... I'll let you know about the wrinkle stuff in a couple of weeks... has a lot to work through LMAO

You girls sooooo spoil me thank you all so much and huge hugs :o))

Okay better get back to getting the house clean so I can sit and do some needle felting before I get Alex from school..have a great day everyone :o))

Well hey guys... been a really busy weekend for us, we decided to build our son Alex a playhouse... boy it was intimidating for us since we have never built any structure before LOL least not in wood!

Alex is pretty excited to get it finished ...we just have to get some more wood for the roof ... probably another 1hr and half at the timber yard with the poor guy there trying his damnedest to work out what we need from my description and measurements LOL

Here's some pic's of the work in progress we've still got the roof and all the edgings to go but it doesn't look too bad for a couple of novices like us :o))

Alex taking measure LOL


Alex seeing if he can possibly us the windows to climb through instead of the door!

Gema our dog also enjoying the house... thinking when Alex grows out of it it could be Gema's dog kennel LOL

I have to say my partner Andrew did a great job since he had to cut all those framing pieces and weather board by hand with a hand saw LOL

Well guys I went hard and got Miss BJD to painting stage...at last LOL ...Okay here's a few more pics of how she arrived at the "ready to Paint" stage...

Here's one of her arms... yes as you'll see she does have 2... as you can see here I have the hand armature ready to go ... and if you look really hard you'll see there was once clay on that wire...well I stuffed up the hand the first time round so using my trusty pliers I took it all off and started again LOL ...Paper clay is very difficult to work with for some parts and in this case I found the wee fingers a bit challenging!!

So challenging I had to do them one at a time, blast with my heat gun then do the next... took over and hour for both hands!!

Well here she is all laid out ready for a test string... I placed a 16" ruler next to her so you could get an idea of her size...

Here we have her all test strung and posing just a bit LOL... I'm leased how she turned out and I will do another with some changes to bits such as next time I will do the double knee as I really want my dolls to have as much to life movement as possible....

Let me know what you think of her so far :o))

Well guys I've been very busy lately with more than one thing as usual LOL
I'm feeling very proud this week as I managed to give up smoking... boy was that the hardest thing I've ever had to do!!!

I've done some more on the BJD doll but haven't had time to take some pictures as yet but will tomorrow :o))

Also I've made 4 new sculpts none of them any bigger than 5" .... These I will be selling on my site as soon as I get it redesigned... yep that time again LOL I plan on attacking that tomorrow in between sculpting and sewing.... Speaking of sewing I actually made a wee quilt! Not totally finished as yet but I'm very thrilled with it since it's my first :o)) The pattern for it is from Cath Walker and is part of the Teddy Club ... if your wondering what that is, it's a monthly mail out from Cath with Teddy themed stitcheries and projects... she only charges $10. aud ...well worth it as you get so much more value for your buck!! If you want to go have a looksee or contact her about it there's a link to her blog over to the right or click here :o))

Okay so here's the pictures of those wee sculpts and the quilt so far I was talking about earlier... If you are interested in the 2 I have left and can't wait till I get them on my site feel free to email me ...

Okay thats it from me for now... hope to be posting more pics of the BJD tomorrow ... :o))

Hi everyone :o)) ...sorry I've been slack in posting ...been doing this and that including recently trying to stop smoking!! Well that isn't going so well but I haven't given up on the idea of quitting and will do it!!

Okay besides that I've been playing with making my own bjd dolls... I made one last year for my good friend Sharon nz ...and decided to give it another go! This girl is much bigger than the first and is a challenge as I've never sculpted anything as big...she'll be nearly 20" when done!!

It's a real puzzle as each piece has to fit and move within the other pieces ...so more trial and error at present...

Here's some pics so far :o))

I ended up cutting her neck off and re doing it as I didn't like the angle... also I added a ball to the top of the heck that sits in a cup inside the head...works wonderfully!!

Here's something else I've almost finished lately... he's a polymer dragon and will sit in the hands of his friend...only needs his wings :o))

Well thanks for dropping by... I will have more pics as the bjd comes along :o))

Hi guys :o))

Thought I'd show you some of the things I've been doing lately... a few I can't show as they are for an Advent swap with the CRAFT group... we at Christmas time buy or make 24 small gifts for our partners to open each day before Christmas and one main that's bigger... well I can't show those as they need to be a secret for a bit longer LOL

I can show you these though...

Inside and outside of a reversible toy bag and matching slippers for our new nephew Harper whom is only a couple of months old now...

Next is a bag same pattern as the above one but done in suede and has a lattice worked pockets... this is for my Auntie...


Lastly for now here's a table runner that I'm very proud of ... First time for stippling and it's not to bad if I do say so my self LOL
The blocks aren't done by me they are the work of someone in our CRAFT group she did them for me in payment for one of my dolls...and boy are they fantastic blocks so neat... I'm hoping to do some as neat soon :o))


Hugs,
Sharon
