First Love Now Named Cora Completed

It's been a couple of weeks since I started this little one and now having completed her, a name just popped into my mind when I looked at her little face.  Cora,   a sweet little name for a tiny little poppet.

Having said that, I am reliably informed that this baby is not a girl and is very much a boy.  No!!! Say it ain't so!  I think I need to stare at her/him a bit more and really make sure.  But I suppose if people can see a baby dressed in pink and surrounded by pink and still tell you it's a boy then hmmm one ought to think again.


Deanna Goes to Spain

I had a lovely little Christmas surprise when one of my auctions finished with a happy ending as little Deanna caught someone's eye. Deanna has now made her way to Spain to meet her new family.

Maya Leaves The Nursery

Little Maya was adopted just after Christmas,  a lovely couple came to visit my nursery to look over the babies I had available and little Maya caught their eye.


So after some cuddles Maya has left Best Beloved with her new family. It was a very special experience seeing someone fall in love for the first time.

WIP - First Love

This is a sculpt that I just had to get, as soon as I saw the original sculpt by Ruth Annette on Facebook I just knew I wanted to do this little one. That fragile gentle little face is just something very special. 


As a little Christmas light relief I thought I would just enjoy some painting time, it's funny how although it's quite a skillful thing to do it's also very relaxing and I find it very relaxing, I find that as I am painting my mood lifts, no matter how black and the tension I am feeling eases.  Maybe that's just a reaction from doing anything that you enjoy.

I've worked on the base laters, the earliest skin undertones in blue, red, green and purple which always look a little strange.


I am really happy with the skin tones that are developing,  I will update in a few more layers.
