I am pleased that my fairy dolls are still selling well at Good Juju. I really enjoy making them. I had a feeling it would only be a Christmas Angel type thing, but they have sold consistently each month. Not a lot at once, but 1-3 each time. Which keeps me able to continue making them, which makes me happy.
Friends have been giving me old dolls that need repair and I have been playing dolly doc with glue, lace, and goat hair. Plus a few sparkly bits here and there.
I also make the fairies by scratch with these vintage heads I found, plus a wire and wool roving body.
Or sometimes, I just cut off the hideous costumes they often come in, clean them up and display as is.
I have always been fond of dolls, and even as a kid, I liked to give them makeovers. I consider myself very blessed to be able to play with dollies as an adult.
Because it sucks to just act like a grown up all the time.
