marble eyed twins

Now I will finish them!

I got that pin with the twins some time ago, thought it would be for another doll, but these two have claimed it! I hope to put them in my etsy shop before Monday. They will be sold as a pair, ofcourse.

Dolls and their doll's houses.

I am working on new dolls, assembling and making wigs as fast as I can. It feels like I am moving in slow motion as I work part of every week (a job that has NOTHING to do with dolls), but getting some new dolls finished soon, I hope!

Meanwhile, here are some photos of H. (a "Myling" doll) and Ruben (a "Blå" doll) playing with some dollhouses.

Dolls play on Instagram:

I have a never-ending facsination with dollhouses, I can spend hours and hours looking at them! Both online and real ones. Lately I'm looking at cabinet dollhouses and baby houses, love the spooky but playful antique dollhouses the best.

More soon!

ten questions

I was interviewed by awesome illustrator Robert Dunn over at his blog!

toads and a spider

Just some photos from our walk. Glad it's spring - great to see some animals and insects again!

We have found a place with loads of Raft spiders, got a photo of one today! They are quite big.

Mysterious waters down at the Raft spider beach....

And a photo from yesterday, when we walked around the zoo, instead. Never saw a sleeping wolverine before!

Very sweet. The huge paws twitched a little now and then as it slept.

sugar ghost

I'm setting some eyes today - one pair of golden glass eyes for this sugar skull ghost. I'm setting eyes for a grey eyed ghost, too. And another strange little sugar skull - black eyes for her.

I feel like I'm behind...

Wish I could have gotten more work done on my dolls and other things. Anyway, here are some photos from the past week/weeks.

New sugar skulls!

Lauritz on my desk.

marble-eyed ghost.

Doodle from work. I love this girl especially, she is very typical of the way I draw.

My new dollhouse, it's tiny! 1:24 scale. It is a 3D wooden puzzle dollhouse, assembled from hundreds of tiny parts. Now to paint it...

And a real house that I like.

I'm going to assemble dolls today, and work on my puzzle dollhouse. And run a fun errand, too!

More soon!

Those two...

Some strange photos.

I am working on my dolls at the new studio/workplace. Today I opened a kiln and started painting the first layers on six new dolls. One will be a ghost, so seven new dolls are on the way!

This photo is of one of the new dolls, it has an etching/tattoo of a heart on its chest. Really weird looking photo, I'm sorry about that... :) I'm thinking of keeping the tattoo like this, just red outlines, I really like the way it looks!

I have been working a lot on new things; prototypes I want to finish, cleaning the new dolls - but haven't been taking that many photos of the things I'm working on. Here are some photos from walks and stuff, instead!

A house I walk by now and then... Spooky, huh?

An ancient oak tree we found on a recent walk:

I couldn't believe it was actually alive, it looks like something out of a movie! Very Tim Burton/Sleepy Hollow.

And some tulips, to balance the gloom! 

Happy Easter!

Inspiration

I'm always intending to make beautiful collages of things that inspire me and post here, but never seem to get around to it! So I decided to make an etsy treasury instead. Here it is!
