Original handmade designs. Polymer, wire, faux poseable fantasy creations. 80% of what I use is recycled material from thrift store clothing.
My friend who is also an artist Charlie M recently assisted me with the making of my new piece and she is now done! I had a really hard time attaching the head to the body but I finally did it. I had to use some metal wire and a screw in the back, but the results actually make the body free hang down and make it more poseable. I took a picture of the details that had recently been added to the legs and boots. There is so much little detail that is hard to photograph without zooming in on certain spots. I don't often fall in love with something I make but I really do love this piece me and Charlie M created. I feel like it will look very cool hanging among other art. I am already thinking of ideas for the next doll. The hardest part for me is pricing my art. I never really know what to charge. especially if I do a collaboration with another artist because then I have to take in to consideration what they want to charge. I am often told I under sell my art by other artist but I just like to try and make things affordable to the average person income. I often wonder if other artist struggle with not knowing what to charge. I feel like a lot of artist just look around and see what others are asking and charge the same without any consideration. I was reading somewhere that an artist should price their work by adding up all the hours and materials it takes to make their price and then give themselves and hourly rate.. I don't know if that has ever worked for me because most of my stuff takes months and hours to make, far more then I think most people are willing to pay me for😔
