Though I mentioned taking a break from custom orders in my last post, I do have a few that I'm finishing up as well as one more to come after these, so they will pop up  here as I complete them.  My most recent is of the lovely Stacey, aka. Lady Ying.

Stacey just happens to live quite close to me in Montreal, so this doll got to take a moped ride to her new  home instead of the plane, courtesy of my husband. (The moped is courtesy of a friend for whom my love is catsitting and who lives very high on a hill.  My husband loves riding it so much, I think he might weep when he has to go back to the old sweat-powered bicycle).

Doll-Stacey is a figurine with a wooden base (rather than legs) and static arms, and  I hope to have a few of these in the next update.  They are a nice compromise between a doll and a bust... more affordable  than a doll, but maybe a bit less unnerving to those folks who might find a lone doll head seemingly existing independently from its body a smidge disturbing.
Stacey for blog long
I'm off to finish another custom: a member of the British aristocracy circa the Restoration.  Two more clues:  Johnny Depp (he's everywhere!) and a monkey...any guesses?
