Quartz Keeper Doll

Posted on Instagram on February 8, 2019

You have seen my drawing about the little beings, and a hint of their bodies in silver.
.
This is the first one.

I totally blame @cavegirldreams and her doll Tippie for how this one turned out 🤣🤣🤣
.
I kinda imagined them as whimsical, ethereal creatures...I don't even know how to explain. But I should know better than to have plans when working with dolls.
After much melting and carving and soldering - with the occasional arm falling off and such - I found myself ready for the hair.
The hair I had in mind - very simple very soft - kept falling off. Or melting. Or such accidents.
I took a break.
I went back and my eyes fell on the organic water cast shapes in copper and brass I had made the past week.
"THESE!!!"
Are you kidding me? That will look like a totally weird couture thing on your head. 😳
"THESE!"
...Ok.
.
More melting more soldering more carving.
And...my being confused because this being had nothing demure and a LOT of personality.
I swear I though about Tippie and laughed quite a lot 🤣
.
Of course she couldn't have normal pics of her taken.
She had to find every hole in the garden rocks and see if she could make her house in it.
See how proud she looks? 😜
