Sleeping Mermaids by Marla L. Niederer |
I
have to share a project Christy Chumley created after taking my Sleeping
Mermaid class.
Octopus Doll by Christy Chumley
I always encourage students in my classes to make three heads for each project so they can use the head they like the best for the doll.

Christy used one of the extra Sleeping Mermaid heads she made to create her Octopus doll.

I just love how her Octopus doll came out!
On
another note I have been downsizing my collections trying to choose what to let
go and what to keep.
My teacup collection
It
started with my teacup collection. Prior
to arranging them in my china cabinet like this, there was kind of a mash up of
unrelated items in the cabinet and it just didn’t look as pretty and calm as I
wished it would.
My Half Doll Collection
Some
of the items in it didn’t go together such as my collection of 1920’s half
dolls and my beloved husband’s collection of mementos from Switzerland and two forks from his grandfather.
My Beloved's collection of memorabilia
So I asked him to make me two shadow boxes so
I could arrange the items from our collections together in a way that we could
enjoy them without feeling cluttered.
Antique doll collection at Carmel Doll Shop
I originally got the idea of placing a
collection of small dolls into a shadow box when I visited the Carmel Doll Shop
in Pacific Grove California during the 2018 NIADA conference. Displaying our collections like this makes it easier to enjoy what you truly love and let go of the excess.
