This is so disturbing...maybe it can inspire (or mortify) you. I'm not in this swap, but I thought of you lovely ladies when I read about thsi on boingboing.net: http://www.beinart.com.au/page/page/544347.htm



Check out the link for more dolls...ugh.

That is so cool! Just what I need...more ideas! The only thing i hate about being an artist is there's not enough time and resorces to create every idea i get! And now i'm getting more ideas! 

when I took ceramics, there was a manequin torso that somebody had brought in for us to use, and I was the only one that ever really made use of it, but this is one of the sculptures I made...


The title of this one is Venus. The body I made by wraping slabs of clay around the manequin and waiting until it was leather hard (not completely dry but dry enough to hold it's shape) and I cut down the sides to take it off the mannequin and then put it back together with slip. The breast I made into drawers, which is kind of dificult to explain, and all the decorations where added after the final firing! Part of the back/side broke, but only like a layer of clay broke off, so it has this really cool texture on part of it! This one had the most work done to it. All the others are fairly simple but imaginative! (I was always the crazy one in class!)

hmmm. I sent mine last week sometime. I hope my post office didn't screw up (very possible) I got one from recyclednew and they charged an extra 12 cents! ridiculous!

Sorry bout that! I put 37 cent stamps on all the ones within the states...I new they were all a little unusual, but one stamp really should have been enough... I thought! I'm really sorry they charged an extra 12 cents! Idiots! I'd send you the 12 cents, although it would be kind of rediculous to do so (inless I sent it with some other crafty thing) cause it would end up costing more than it's worth!   I really hate the post office sometimes!  
(are you the one I was making something for from the plastic cash register tubes??? My studio is such a disaster! I have everything organized in a somewhat chaotic...ok, extreamly chaotic fashion...but it's all here, I just have to remember where!  )

will whoever sent the guitar pick shaped card pm me

princess_me, this is what your postcard from me should have looked like...


I will get the other postcards scanned in today! Maybe I'll get another today!    let's see...I have 9, so I should be getting 2 more right? I got one from swampmisstress yesterday...it's blue and has a puppy drawn on it! It's really cute! (I use to call my ex puppy...just thought I'd share!)  

yay...I see some of you have gotten your postcards from me!  I got more today, and I can't remember who all I got from, but here are the images of the 7 I recieved thus far...


I love them all! I'm going to create a collage on my studio wall with them once I recieve them all!   Thanks everyone! And feel free to post which ones are yours...I'm sorry I forgot, and they're all upstairs right now!

I got my last bookmark from lilmissdogooder the other day! It's a cute little elephant! (and it's blue!) I scaned it and the other two from last week I think came from queenofswords...cor rect me if I'm wrong! Here's the images...

I just got my bookmark from heroinechic! I love it! (sorry if I spelled your name wrong!) The bookmark is so cute! It reminds me of the fall and of halloween, which I love! Thankyou!  

yay! I got it to show up! Wow, I feel stupid! That was so easy! Thanks for all the help! 
Sorry the image isn't very good...I had to use the scanner! They are really beautiful though! It's funny how I didn't mention that I love seashells, and the one has seashells! I love them all! Thankyou littleone1098!
