Despite the sound of crashing computers at my house, I was able to take some pictures of works in progress and get them on the old computer. I finally got Izzy's legs remade and am very pleased with them. She really is a big girl - you can get a sense of her scale as compared to my sewing machine.

The small brown doll is my offering for the Ava Grace Auction. I was thinking what would happen if you crossed an Izzy doll with a Hitty doll? I am going to be making her a sweet little dress from vintage polka-dotted material and giving her wings.

So that's what I'm working on right now. The Izzy will probably be listed on Ebay later in the week, plus I have a Jack-O-Lantern Folk Art Portrait I'll be listing tonight! Fun!

OOoooh, paintings AND dolls! Can't wait to see them. I love that landscape abstracty/impressionistic with the red bldg painting that just flashed by on your 'Past Works' film.

Dixie,
your Izzy's are always top notch. I love the expressions you are able to capture.
Sorry about the computer crash - it is sobering.
