Welcome to SugarPlumDolls.com I think my cute clothespin dolls make fabulous Christmas ornaments or gifts BUT are now also available as greetings cards, postcards and more..Just to let you know all dolls are individually handcrafted clothespin dolls and make very special gifts or can be used as a holiday ornament. I think they add a personal touch to the holidays! It takes me about 2 to 3 days to make each doll. Each doll has her own personality. No two dolls are alike, some dolls may be similar but because of the handmade process each doll is unique. Some dolls may have slight imperfections in the wood, but aren't we all a little less than perfect! Each doll arrives on my worktable as a blank slate. After I draw on the face, paint the hair and body, then I glue the head to the body then wait a day for the paint and glue to dry. I have a treasure trove of fabric and tulle and I begin to craft an outfit and accessories for each girl. I hope you will enjoy your visit here. You can shop for an actual doll online at www.etsy.com/shop/clothespindolls or visit me on YouTube at youtube.com/clothespindoll where I show you how to make your own Sugar Plum Clothespin dolls and other cute handmade items. Enjoy the day!
Finally got some proper use out of the iFixit Pro Tech Toolkit and accessories I bought this summer. Been meaning to get the kit for a long time, but just kept pushing it off. Now I'm very happy I'd finally gotten it.
I got this set of Kenko extension tubes from a friend sometime this spring. They were basically flawless outwardly, and mechanically, but the 12mm and 20mm had electrical issues, where the 12mm was basically fully manual and the 20mm had some pins disconnected. Being stuck at home sick, I decided to go ahead and take a look at them. Turns out a connector part inside both extension tube bodies was slightly the wrong shape and wasn't making proper contact. After carefully bending them into shape, both of the rings now work fully and I have a complete set of the best extension tubes available for Nikon F. Very happy with the results, especially as the 12mm is the one I have the most use for, and was basically useless to me thus far.
Oh, and yeah, I got sick and unfortunately had to skip some days, because I just wasn't feeling up to it.

...that I was caught in a vicious cycle of cleaning lots of stuff, then getting it dirty with mortar, then cleaning it again, then getting it dirty with grout, then cleaning it again, and again, and again. It was truly a nightmare.
Oh NOOOOOOOO!!! It was REAL, and I'm still in it!!!!!....{=O
Early morning time at worktable...view out my window this morning is foggy and rain splatters the window. Inspiration for this sketch is from a photo at Flickr.
This is my little space away from home. I'm looking out at a bank of fog, and I feel a chill in the air in this little room lined with floor to ceiling windows. Window view#63
Do you know those picture of the work table, where all things are put minimalistic and beautiful... And, here is my work table. :D Cha cha. It's chaos here. I really want to fix it. But I haven't where put all item, which I started to make, and not finished yet. And I have a lot of those items. :D
I really hope, I‘m not alone is slattern (if it right word). :D
Tell me in the comments, how look your work table? Terribly like mine or not?
And I remind you, now in my shop is running a big sale – 30 proc. of all item. ;) Take a look.
I made these little collages for the potential basis of little artomat paintings. Inspiration struck and now I have an additional project in mind.blogged at inspiration junkie
"Journal [detail]," 2022, Gouache
"My work is deeply rooted in the desire to maintain control and find structure within chaos. This need for predictability and order comes, in part, from my experience with chronic illness. Though I’ve lived with an auto-immune disorder for many years, a flare up in 2020 caused a major shift in my ability to create new work. Now, standing at a worktable or gripping a paintbrush can be doable for short periods of time or nearly impossible. I may paint for hours one day only to find myself bed-bound the next. These and other limitations made the possibility of continuing to work in pointillism questionable.
A gradual and meditative process, pointillism requires time, patience, and a steady hand. When I became unable to sit for long periods of time or maintain a strong grip, it was clear that I needed to find ways to work within the constraints of my changed body.
I started keeping a visual diary in the form of daily paintings. Each journal entry reflects my ability for that day – sometimes several hours, sometimes much less. It both marks time and acts as a form a data collection, tracking my progress through the year. Additionally, the predictability of daily journaling has been comforting in its regularity and is reflective of the work. Creating small, individual pieces that directly address my limitations is a form of acceptance. It is a way for me to stay connected to my body without giving up who I was."
This is the back of my latest Cleveland Foreclosure Quilt. I almost like the back more than the front at the moment and suspect some of these remnant fabrics will turn up in my next piece as well. As I cut into the front panels, this backing will be revealed almost looking like a black hole where the foreclosed lots are.

This one of a series of books made from the paper I place on my worktable. They form a diary of marks related to the period of time they are in place. Some have dates, this one does not. The paper here is a commercially bought handmade paper, the front nad back covers have been coated in beeswax to give them some strength.
This paricular book contains rust marks.
It has a tape binding, so all pages will open flat, the tape used is naturally dyed silk which has then been made into silk string which wraps around the book and is tied to secure it.
The book can either be left as an artist's book or you can enter into a collaboration with me
by working into the pages
If you do that please share the results with me
For more pictures go to my blog soewnearth.blogspot.com.au/2013/05/incidental-marks.html
Book is 15 x 8cm (6 x 31/2")and has 60 pages.

My wonderful husband helped me put the drawers together last night, and I drilled the holes for the drawer pulls today, and put the drawers in. Then it was time to start putting things IN the drawers! I got some shelves to put up above the worktable this afternoon, and hopefully I'll be able to put them up after school tonight, or after school tomorrow. I will be able to FINALLY straighten up my studio the rest of the way. And Fred can finally change her clothes. XD
The next big project is to rearrange the loft area, where I take the diorama-type pictures. So that will get disrupted a bit but I don't think it will take as long. I hope. :)

On my right as I sit at my main worktable is the "wall of stamps". My stamp storage space has doubled from what I had in my old space, which is a good thing because I had run out of space many, many stamps ago and have stamps stored in boxes and scattered all over the place. Although I really love the look of stamps stored on open shelves, I hate to dust so Iris carts work great for me even though it's not quite as decorative.

Still Life with Carp
Abraham van BEYEREN
The Hague, 1620-21 - Overschie, 1690
H. 0.73 m; W. 0.61 m
Abraham van Beyeren specialized in paintings of fish, notably during his earliest period. This picture is a fine example, painted when Van Beyeren was a young artist, circa 1645-1650, under the influence of Pieter de Putter.
Later in his career, he extended his subject-matter to include sumptuous banqueting-tables, and ornate still-lifes featuring virtuoso depictions of abundant, luxurious foodstuffs and objects.
A massive rustic table, probably a kitchen worktable, supports a deceptively haphazard pile of fish – a pike, lying diagonally across the front of the composition, with its stomach cut open; a bream (or perhaps another carp) with its head sticking out over the left-hand side of the tabletop; three small perch with faint stripes along their backs, and red fins; two roach with orange-colored eyes, and a chub lying on its back, apparently emerging from a sort of net. This pile of freshwater fish has apparently been freshly caught. Their gleaming, silvery scales look disconcertingly alive. The fish are arranged in a clever composition of criss-crossing diagonals, with a subtle, almost monochrome palette of colors. The interplay of delicate tones and fleeting reflections bathes the picture in a strange, almost aquatic light.

"The Musée du Louvre, or officially Grand Louvre — in English, the Louvre Museum or simply the Louvre — is one of the world's largest museums, the most visited art museum in the world and a historic monument. A central landmark of Paris, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the 1st arrondissement (district). Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistory to the 19th century are exhibited over an area of 60,600 square metres (652,300 square feet).
The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) which began as a fortress built in the late 12th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are still visible. The building was extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace. In 1682, Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his household, leaving the Louvre primarily as a place to display the royal collection, including, from 1692, a collection of antique sculpture.
The museum opened on 10 August 1793 (the first anniversary of the monarchy's demise) with an exhibition of 537 paintings, the majority of the works being royal and confiscated church property. Because of structural problems with the building, the museum was closed in 1796 until 1801. The size of the collection increased under Napoleon and the museum was renamed the Musée Napoléon. After the defeat of Napoléon at Waterloo, many works seized by his armies were returned to their original owners. The collection was further increased during the reigns of Louis XVIII and Charles X, and during the Second French Empire the museum gained 20,000 pieces. Holdings have grown steadily through donations and gifts since the Third Republic, except during the two World Wars. As of 2008, the collection is divided among eight curatorial departments: Egyptian Antiquities; Near Eastern Antiquities; Greek, Etruscan, and Roman Antiquities; Islamic Art; Sculpture; Decorative Arts; Paintings; Prints and Drawings.
By 1874, the Louvre Palace had achieved its present form of an almost rectangular structure with the Sully Wing to the east containing the square Cour Carrée and the oldest parts of the Louvre; and two wings which wrap the Cour Napoléon, the Richelieu Wing to the north and the Denon Wing, which borders the Seine to the south. In 1983, French President François Mitterrand proposed the Grand Louvre plan to renovate the building and relocate the Finance Ministry, allowing displays throughout the building. Architect I. M. Pei was awarded the project and proposed a glass pyramid to stand over a new entrance in the main court, the Cour Napoléon. The pyramid and its underground lobby were inaugurated on 15 October 1988. The second phase of the Grand Louvre plan, La Pyramide Inversée (The Inverted Pyramid), was completed in 1993."
The Louvre Pyramid (Pyramide du Louvre) is a large glass and metal pyramid, surrounded by three smaller pyramids, in the main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) in Paris. The large pyramid serves as the main entrance to the Louvre Museum. Completed in 1989, it has become a landmark of the city of Paris.
Visitors entering through the pyramid descend into the spacious lobby then re-ascend into the main Louvre buildings. The Louvre museum states that the finished pyramid contains 673 glass panes (603 rhombi and 70 triangles)."

A spare BW from yesterday's SP preparation. Boring and unoriginal, but I decided to include it as I really like the reflection in the sunglasses, (also, I was having a "good moustache day!" :)
If you look closely at the reflection, you can see my worktable, computer and chair beside the window, (where I'm sitting right now!)
In case you're puzzled by the title, my tie shows the beast logo from the Broadway production of "Beauty and the Beast".
