Ida Red is almost done...

My hooked wool version of Ida Red is just about complete.

I have been exploring the world of ball jointed dolls. Dolls, wigs, and clothing have been bought and sold. I have been learning to do 'face-ups', an artform all its own. And I doggedly attempt sewing doll clothes as it doesn't come easily for me. Plus I have spent time just learning about these resin dolls as there are a variety on the market.

Lemon arrived!

The BOX arrived.

Here is the box inside the BOX.

And here is the doll inside the box inside the BOX.

She is a Lati Yellow Byurl named Lemon.

Lemon: "This doesn't look like Korea. Where am I?"

Me: "Well... you are in the United States of America.....in the great state of Texas.....on the rolling plains near the Texas panhandle.....in a tiny town called Turkey, Texas."

Lemon: "OMG! I am doomed!"

Lemon: "Tarantulas, scorpions, rattlesnakes.....TORNADOES!"

Me: "You are safe, Lemon. You will be living in my art studio.

I have a little present for you."

Lemon: " I think I like you."
