I've been published in the newest issue of Prims magazine

I've been published in Prims magazine.  There are so many very talented people are in the issue and it's such an honor to be included. You'll find stories about my Vintage inspired Santas as well as another story about some of my witches.

New Witchy dolls

 I've been playing with new ideas. You see more and more white and odd colored pumpkins in the farmer's markets and that inspired the witch on the left. She's 29" tall and very elegant. Her features were hand stitched in place with fine black thread and it looks like hairs or bits of cobweb in a close up view. Check her out on my website or in my Etsy shoppe Lucy's Lazy Dayz Folk Art.  The photos enlarge nicely when you click on them.
     The witchy woman on the right was inspired by some scraps of black and brown fabric that landed in the same pile after I cut out something else. they looked so nice together, they inspired a black witch dressed in black and brown. Both of these and more are listed on my website under Halloween.  

New Listings for Fall

This is Scarlet O'haira. She's the new listing on my Lucy's Lazy Dayz Folk Art Etsy Shoppe.

I've made her to stand by constructing her with dowels inside her legs.  She's made of fabric and has a needle sculpted nose and body and her eyes and lips are "painted" with Prismacolor pencils. She looks a bit frazzled with her silky, stringy red hair. Her hat is adorned with black fabric roses and she carries a handmade broom...made of miniature pip berry twigs so it's not going to break.

You'll find several new listings there for fall AND everyday.

Witches, witches and more witches

Meet Delude! Isn't she the best? I wanted to experiment and play with things I've never done before so I attempted the scariest thing ever..........After I sculpted, stained and dried the doll;  I painted her "skin" white and then painted and drew her facial features. No room for error her..........you can't successfully erase it so I'm so pleased and excited with the results I had to show them off!  She's listed on my website under Halloween (of course) but also at the Lemon Poppyseeds Halloween shoppes.

Sylvanie Synester - 53 Inch tall witch

Isn't this witch awesome? She's made of muslin and she's 53+ inches tall. The hat is wired and can be pulled up higher. I added "ragg" to the bottom of her body so she sits really well. I also put a hanging loop on the back of her hat so she can "stand".  I needle sculpted her nose and lips. I wish the black lips didn't resemble a mustache...next time I think I'll make them either green or a dark purple-red. The hat band is black nylon net with polka dots woven in. There's also a wild turkey feather in the hatband. She has shank buttons down the front of the bodice as well as on the 6" long cuffs on her sleeves. I couldn't resist giving her a nice splashy ring and of course it seemed necessary to "paint" her fingernails black too. Did I mention her fingers are wired so they're poseable? Her hair is nice curly wool. You can't see her shoes but they have high heels and black half ball buttons up the outside of each shoe.  Oh yes, her pantaloons are a dingy gray...no white on this lovely lady.
