First cut.

I work a lot with cardboard, it's one of my favorite materials. I also use it extensively in the construction of dolls houses.

For some reason I found it very 'expressive.' It always has a tale to tell. Easy to paint too. Yes, definitely one of my favorite materials!

Corner

A dark corner of my "Two Minutes to Midnight" shadow box. No one taught me how to do this, I got there by trial and error.

I embarked in this particular project only a year after starting to work with miniatures. My love for everything old and rusty has always been the driving force behind my experiments with new techniques.

Walking doll (2)

Another picture of my walking doll as a follow up to yesterday's post. I'm sure she'll look great when dressed up.

Walking doll

Hello everyone! Today I'm sharing this picture of one of my cuties, a so-called "walking doll."

Walking dolls don't really "walk" on their own, but rather create that illusion because their stiff legs can be moved as if walking (looks rather like marching to me), whereby their head -which is connected to the legs by an internal mechanism- moves from side to side with each step.

I bought her in a relatively poor state, without any clothes and loose wig, but otherwise complete. She measures about 60cm, or 24 inches (2 feet) tall.

She remains as I got her, but I hope to be able to find her a nice dress and shoes, and treat her to a visit to a hairdresser.
