Same Material Contest

The MSAT MiniDollList is doing a new Same Material Contest. I choose the raw silk material and am now waiting anxiously for the package to arrive. So far I have no idea what sort of doll to do. I have to see the fabric to get an inspiration - I hope I do get an inspiration at all ;-)

But as the doll must not be finished before the end of October there´s still a lot of time - and I work best when I am under a bit of time pressure :-)

We did a Same Material Contest back in 2003 which was great fun. Here is my doll:

Carla, giving her hair its daily 100 brush strokes















All the dolls were exhibited in the Miniature Museum of Greater St. Louis. How I wished I were able to visit the exhibition.

Halftimbered house - work in progress

Currently I am working on the half-timbered house from Pear Tree Miniatures. It's a lovely kit to work with. I am done with assembling and decorating the outside and could start now with the furniture. But I am still a bit unsure whether to do it in modern or in medieval style.
