great commission to start the new year


he he. So I was commissioned to make a Danny Mansmith Doll. Ta da! It's really different from what I ordinarily do, 1st off, I don't usually make dolls in the likeness of anyone, 2nd they usually have crazy hair, and lastly, this is a boy doll, so no hourglass bodice shape-he is a rounded off triangle with a big bald head and striking blue eyes. Danny is so creative and unique the possibilities were really endless when it came to wardrobe and accessories, but I am not so great with too many choices. In the end, I tried to mix texture, and color, to create the best combination visually-so the doll will continue to be interesting and "new" for his viewers. I am off commissions now for awhile, I have to finish the Chuppah in February, and then I will be doing work for the pleasure, enjoyment, and education of moi! The etsy store will happen in 2008, but the real challenge so far has been adjusting to my new job! As you can see, I am working from home this Friday! Excellent perk, even if its not every week. The rental car, and I were blasted from all that driving in the extreme cold: 25 degrees below 0 F !!!!!

Talulah-who now lives with Danny and Joe!


Well-The Cornelia building show was full of surprises. I had an amazing visit from two fellows who wound up taking Talulah and Marishka home with them. Many other friends and family members came out to the show as well. I shared the studio space of Gregory Milne and his Raku pottery business. Greg also had three text pieces on display and, not surprisingly, sold the Shakespeare piece: gregmilne.com. I learned about the ins and outs of working an art show-and shared the building with many talents. I enjoy being part of this community and have dreamt about it from the time I was an adolescent. I thank all of my supporters and although I don't have any other shows planned, I do plan to launch an online store, as well as approach some local businesses about selling my work. I'll keep you posted.

here we are!


Stripey Guy and Blubell are waiting patiently to go to the show next week and meet all of you in person.

Marishka


Hi I'm Marishka! I'm the newest Muk Designs doll. I have a thick head of curly, multi-colored hair, sliver moons on my cheeks, jester shoes, and a chic jersey scarf around my neck. It feels good to be completed. See you out in the world!

Peace, from Marishka and MUK.
