What a busy summer it has been!

I hope you enjoyed your summer as well, even though it was busy, it was nice to have the sunshine and birds. Now, the geese have almost all flown south for the winter months, and the frost has started to set in at night. Fall is my favorite time of year, but it's just too short.

The good part about winter, (I'm a "glass half full" kinda girl!) is that its easier to sculpt, not so hot that the clay melts in your fingers, and I just love the cosy feeling the snow adds. I try not to think about the icy roads, scraping the windshield, wondering if we plugged our vehicles in, and the list goes on.

I have been so busy building the website for my sculpts as well as the one for my new children's book, that I haven't been able to keep up this blog very well, so I hope everyone enjoys the new pictures.

The little girl below is named Tawnie, she is an 8" soft body baby, and sold recently on eBay as my highest selling baby so far. I had almost decided to keep her for myself, but decided to offer her there, and she lasted only 10 minutes before a wonderful customer bought her up as a "buy it now". She was a joy to make, and my first attempt at eye lashes on such a small sculpt. I may try rooting some directly in the clay in the future to see what that would look like as well, since these are a little on the thick side, but still pretty darn adorable I think.

Tawnie lives in the US with a lovely lady who adopted her and even had a little crib ready just for her.

Below are Breanna and Bianca, these are a couple tiny little girls measuring only about 4 inches in length. I don't normally do tiny baby like these, but have had these dresses for a while now and wanted to make some wee girls for them.

Meet Layton, this little guy is a 7" soft body sculpt with an attitude! ha ha

Offered on eBay Oct.6th - 11th.09

He was a lot of fun to create with that wrinkled nose and wet tongue. I am really enjoying sculpting these slightly larger babies, its amazing what kind of detail you can get into a 7 or 8 inch that you can't with a 5 or 6 inch. I am hoping to sculpt a 9 or 10 inch very soon.

As you can see, Mari is a full sculpt baby, which are a lot harder than the soft body. I designed and sewed her little hat myself, which is a feat in itself since I'm not much for sewing! ha ha She measures around 6 inches, and went to a customer in Germany, lucky girl.

Belle is such a tiny little girl, measuring around 5 inches, with the softest expression on her little face. Here you can see one of the custom soft bodies that I sell, and how well it shows on the babies.

Belle also lives in Germany now, in a different town than Mari though.

Rory is quite a little handful with those big blue eyes of hers, and chubby arms and legs. She measures around 7 inches, and lives in the US with a wonderful collector who has more of my babies.

Cameron measures around 6 inches, and has the sweetest little expression on her face, on the verge of a snooze it looks like.

Cameron lives in the US now.

Here is little Annie, 6 inches of huggable sweetness! She is such a lucky girl to go and live in Spain, enjoying the warm weather and escaping the bitter cold of an Alberta winter. Her new home is with a lovely family, and home to a great artist who creates OOAK Mini Teddy bears, which I am proud to say, I have had the joy of adopting and just adore.

Thanks to everyone who stop by and check out my latest creations, it means a lot that others are interested in my work.

I hope you enjoyed these latest pictures, I will be putting on some of my latest series of trolls that will be for sale on eBay soon.

Have a wonderful fall everyone!!

The Stibil Forest Adventure

Did you hear about my new children's book??

I would like to share with you my new children's book coming soon!

Here is what the cover looks like:

It was written by Cheryl Schenk and illustrated by myself. For the illustrations, I sculpted all the characters and much of the scenery in the book, then photographed all the scenes for the story.

Stibilville is a happy, playful village, tucked away under the maple trees of
Stibil Forest, but when Synni ventures out alone at night she finds that her friendly
forest has become a large and frightening place.

Join us for Little Synni’s Moonlight
Mischief, a Stibil Forest Adventure.

Published by Bittleberry Books
Printed in Canada

The book will be available for purchase for the beginning of August some time. I will be keeping everyone posted for specific dates.

If you want to follow the book, please visit our blog, the link is located at the top left corner of this page.

I hope to see you all there!

Thanks for taking time to stop by!

I would like to share a few pictures with you of a couple of the latest little fellows I have sculpted and sold on ebay.

First is little Ricky, he was the last little one I listed on ebay in June, before I got busy with the exhibit and book. I had so much fun sculpting him with his little tongue sticking out and that funny little smirk on his face. A wonderful customer of mine bought him for her Birthday, I was so pleased she chose one of my dolls as her gift!

He measures appr. 6 inches, and is a soft body baby.

Below is Shayne, he also measures around 6 inches long, and has also gone to a great home. He has got some of the fatest little cheeks EVER!! ha ha

I have been so busy with my exhibit and the book, that I missed a couple weeks on ebay with my babies. Hopefully I can keep up with them now.

See ya again soon!

Finally made it back here!!

What a crazy month it has been in my world, I have been working hard to get an exhibit together of all of my dolls and get that set up. I have designed a new series especially for the exhibit called Garden Trolls. They measure approximately 6-7 inches each, they are whimsical little creatures from my imagination. Have ever set down your little shovel, or packet of seeds and then only moments later discover that they are not where you left them?Or how about that watering can running off on its own......? Well, I think its the garden trolls, they sneak in, and take great pleasure in rearranging your tools and seeds. So this little series is all about them.

I didn't have time to take a pile of good pictures before setting up the exhibit, so I will have to post some new and better ones in October when the exhibit comes home.

Here are a few pictures anyways....

This little guy (below) hasn't quite been finished, no clothes yet! oops...

Sorry the pictures aren't of the greatest quality, but hopefully you get an idea of gross they each are! ha ha

Did you catch the one with my dog who decided he would also like to be in the picture with the little troll sleeping in the shovel he stole?

These will be set up for the months of June, July and August, in the display cubes at the QEII hospital. I also have a display for a few of my larger art dolls, as well as a large display of my babies in McKenzie Place.

Also, I entered the pictures of the first two trolls at the top, in the Global Dolls Artist annual contest and won 1st place! Thanks to the coordinator's of the contest for putting it on, I really appreciate you choosing my characters.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you will drop in again very soon.

Thought you might like to meet the newest members of the family......

Hi there, finally found a moment to get back on here and add the latest news.

I've been busy working on my new website, there are still a few kinks to straighten out, but if you would like to stop by for a visit,heres the link:

http://www.chrisjammeroriginals.com/index.html

I have been staying busy with the mini OOAK babies, as well as the new childrens book my Sister and law and I have been working on. More information about that will be available on "The Stibil Forest" blog very soon. We are so very excited to have it done and sent off to the printers, to finally hold it in our hands will be a great moment we are both looking forward to.

I am so lucky to have some wonderful buyers on e bay purchasing my little mini babies there. I have been lucky enough to have sold all that I have put on , and am looking forward to making more. I have to say, the babies are a real challenge to make, I feel they are getting better with every new one I make.

Here are some pictures of my latest little ones:

" Brennan"

Meet the beautiful troll lady.."Soria Moria"!!

"Soria Moria"

A troll of unquestionable beauty!!

You may not think she is the most adorable creature you have ever seen, but to her fellow trolls, she is beyond beautiful, she is a site to behold! With flowing lavender and mint green hair, and painted ruby red lips, what troll could possibly turn away from such an exquisite creature as "Soria Moria".

She wears a simple outfit, but anything more would just be showing off in front of the other troll ladies! She does however, take particular care of her finger and toe nails, making sure they are always painted to match her flowing mane.

This One of a Kind creation was sculpted from Prosculpt, and was such a fun project to do!

*********************************

I also wanted to say a big "Thank you " to everyone who has purchased a baby from me on e bay! I really appreciate it, and look forward to creating many more "One of a Kind" items to sell there.

Meet little Emmy....

Visit me at "Global Doll Artists" web site....

I wanted to pass along to everyone how excited I was to be selected as the "Featured Artist" for the month of February, at Global Doll Artists!

If you haven't already gone and checked out the web site, take a minute now and go see whats new with many wonderful artists. This is an awesome website, and the people there are all so very nice to chat with. I have found that it is close knit, and helpful, and everyone is very encouraging to everyone else, which is sometimes a rare thing to find.

http://www.globaldollartists.com/

I have settled back in after the trip, and have been staying busy getting ready for my next exciting year in the sculpting world! Last year was a whirl wind, with so much happening throughout the whole year.

I illustrated a childrens book with my sculpting, which will hopefully come out later this year, so please come back often for more news about that. I recieved my "Master Doll Makers" certificate, and traveled to the US for the first time. I created a life sized witch for Halloween, and two 18" Santa dolls and won an Honorable mention in the annual Prosculpt Santa contest with one of them. I created countless OOAK babies, packed them up and attended the IDEX show in Orlando Florida for the first time.

Phew!!! I'm getting tired just remembering all that went on! ha ha

It was a great year, so this year I am looking forward to getting back on e bay and will be offering many new little treasures through out the year.... I am also attending some local festivals, where I will be demonstrating my sculpting with polymer clay, and hope to entice some new people into this wonderful art form. I have some shows lined up to show case my work, which is very exciting, so there is much to do. Also, of course there will be the new childrens book coming out hopefully later this year. It was a lot of work, but it will be great to finally hold it in my hand.

I will also be getting a website up and going very soon, and hope that you will all come and see me there as well. I am hoping to have some of my art for sale there, as well as some new doll making items for those of you interested.

I have a line of custom miniature baby bodies coming out very soon, and will be offering them on ebay as well as my new website. I also hope to have a line of mini baby doll clothes as well very soon.

So come back often, and please drop by my ebay site to see what I'm listing every week. I will be starting the auctions every Tuesday evening, and they will end Sunday evening.

Here is what I have had this week....

Thanks so much for stopping my again,

if you have any questions please feel free to e mail me.

Well, here I am, back from the sunny south!!

I was busy sculpting and getting ready for the big IDEX Doll show in Orlando Florida, packed my bags and my babies and away I flew. I enjoyed the sunshine, along with the warm temperatures of the coast, but now am back and enjoying our warm weather here at home.

I met so many wonderful artists at the show, and was lucky enough to be one of the ladies to attend an 11 inch full sculpt baby doll course put on by the talented and very nice Pat Moulton! I have to say, if you ever have a chance to take a class from her, you should really try and do it! We giggled and laughed through out the entire class, as well as learning a great deal too. She is an awesome teacher, and an all around great lady, and it was a real honor to meet her.

Below are some of Pat Moultons 11 inch baby dolls.....

Because of the economy now, sales were down this year, but making all the new friends that I did really made up for it. I got to meet many of the big names in the industry, and hope to keep in touch with them in the future, and call them friends. I had a wonderful chat with Sherry Rawn, who makes the most adorable babies you've ever seen. She stopped by the booth and her and her son chatted for a long while with us.

Below is a shot of my part of the table at the show......

I have taken quite a few pictures of the trip, to remember everything, I hope you enjoy these.

I will also be listing some of the baby dolls that did not sell at IDEX very soon on e bay, so I hope you will stop by and check out my sales often to see if there is anything there that you would like. Below are a few examples of what I will be offering on ebay.....

I will also be starting my newest miniature soft body baby doll class in Grande Prairie, at the Centre for the Creative Arts, on Tuesday, Feb. 17th. Please sign up now if you are interested in learning how to sculpt these adorable little ones. The next class with be "Character Faces" which will begin in March.

I hope you enjoyed your visit, and please come back often to check out whats new!!!
