A Sneak Peek!!

I am making the cutest little african american dolls....I think she or maybe he is sweet....I created a new soft sculpture pattern for them so it will need some tweaking....it has a little longer torso and the nose is sculpted not sewn on...it will also have the plastic safety joints so arms and legs move...easier to change clothes for kiddies too....different ears...so we'll see...let me know your thoughts...comments are always appreciated...
New project... african american soft sculpture doll by janmariedollsandprims...

blessings for now...

Oh Lookie, Another Baby on the Way


What a sweet little face....arms and legs too...of course she is wondering where her body is....be patient little one it's on the way....creation is a process....these babies are all about the size of a newborn baby and are weighted so they feel like a real baby when you cuddle them....and you will cuddle...you just can't help yourself....


Off to finish creating....


I really must get a new camera....these pictures look so grainy...what do you think?....


Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend...


Blessings...

A Tisket, A Tasket, A Lot of Easter Baskets


I'm really hooked on making these baskets...they are so easy and super cute....they are perfect for Easter candy and eggs and after you can use them for just about anything...each one really is different because you can mix the fabric strips any way you want....

OOAK EASTER BASKETS from JAN MARIE DOLLS & PRIMS

You make them using strips of fabric and cotton clothesline....I bought a book called It's A Wrap....After I put handles on I will be back with more pics...
Have a great day....Jan

Sorry for being away for so long...things happen in this game we call life....
so Easter is on it's way already...but I'm back with more primitive folk art dolls...here is a little something I just finished up...I think she came out rather sweetly...this bunny is a cutie with her little skirt and in the running mode...she must be going to pick up Easter eggs....
Her face is handpainted and she is wearing a rusty bell around her neck..she is on a wooden candlestick that has been painted white and distressed...

Primitive Easter Bunny by Jan Marie Dolls and Prims...

She is one of a kind...
