New dolls in progress!

Wow its been a busy few weeks with half term and household stuff, 

but for the past two days I found the time to create four new dolls...yay!

Below are the clay dolls I am working on at present.

One of the most therapeutic moments for me is the sanding of dolls, 

gentle music playing, calming set of movements, ah bliss!  :0)

 I also have four other dolls in progress too

...not including the painted cloth doll.

Hopefully all eight will be completed by Monday.

The cloth doll still requires a body, hair and clothing.

I can work more on her once the others are completed

I am really excited about her, my painted, cloth doll experiment !Tee hee..

Well more on her later.

Oh and I managed to find the most beautiful box for

the apothecary blog party in September!

Here is a quick glimpse ;0)
