As you can see I have had fun this week creating these whimsical wooden people. I took a class from Laura Robert's online. She is a wonderful teacher and a creative soul. Thanks Laura for the inspiration for these " Lover Lee" wooden dolls.
Like I said in my recent post that I would be using some tools I usually don't use in my projects. I got out the drill ( I broke 3- 1/16th drill bits) a saw, all kinds of glues and paints and some techniques for transfers.........I ordered 2 of the kits but you know me I had to make a bunch of them so I went crazy trying to find all the elements needed to make more. Anyway I hope you like the end results!
this one is sitting down instead of hanging like all the others........
this is the top of the sitting doll.......she isn't quite finished!
These are the reason I have not posted anything on the blog this week...........I did have fun and I hope to make some more!
Hope we all have a safe weather weekend in Oklahoma........it has not been a good day today for some of the areas hit with tornados........we have more coming.........! Stay safe everyone!
Love, love love these. Been looking for a way to present my thoughts in a creative way. Do you sell kits for these. How do I find your blog

Where did you get your kits? How are the legs made?

these are wonderful.
is laura from seattle? i saw an art exhibit there a few years ago, with art dolls very similar to these.
how do you connect the legs? are they wire? and sunk into the wood? do they dangle or are they stiff.
just lovely.

Yikes, I just love those, Jackie! I don't know your teacher but they sure have your mark on them. I agree with the above...an online store and online tutorials...from you!

I have just found your blog. Your talent is awesome. I love all the dolls and dresses you do. I notice you teach at a store. Have you ever thought of making kits for sell for people who can not make your classes. I would love to do some of the projects.

Beautifully creative dolls Jackie! Love the whimsical feel. As for this yucky weather, I have had enough of it! The tornado in Norman touched down 2 blocks from our house!
