Is up and running. I have three dolls listed from my MFA exhibition "A few small repairs." I've got half a dozen more to list and I am scanning drawing and making prints in between. Please check it out!

RISDWORKS!

I am so pleased to say that I have four dolls at RISDWORKS, the RISD Museum store for the summer. The Fox, Elephant, Pig and a single sewing lady are there. My girlfriend (and former boss) was kind enough to take pictures for me a couple of weeks ago. I just noticed that the sewing lady's limbs are a little askew, so I will have to email the manager to get her rearranged. It is such an honor!
look what I found....

I was poking around in some boxes for work I needed to get quick photographs of, when I rediscovered my "Flower Girl." I had totally forgotten about her. I pulled her out and put her on the post for a photograph and realized why she had been tucked away...she can't balance on the post as she is too top heavy. I need to insert some sort of counterbalance in her pelvis, which means making a hole and filling it with something and then closing her up again. I wish I knew how to think these things through before I made them, but apparently that is not my learning process. Luckily, I have a very experienced colleague who is kind enough to offer advice. Looks like she will be going to school tomorrow!
"Flower Girl"
and I'm done....
with two new dolls, for my October online exhibition at buysomedamnart.com. "Candy Thermometer" and "Compass." I even had my new flex shaft drill out to insert the sleeve in the back. It was so slick. I can clamp it right to my table and have it done in minutes. Here's a quick look:

Flex shaft magic!
You can see in the above pictures the back post that supports their sitting. It slides right into the metal sleeve inserted in their back. All it takes to install them is an 1/8 inch hole in the wall and the post. Installation shots will have to happen this weekend.
I had hoped to get more done, but with rethinking my drawing class and getting everyone back to school, these two were all I could manage. If I can get my cupcake girl finished next week, maybe she will be available too. Will post a link when the exhibition goes live.
