I Finished My Regency Dolls With Paperclay and Painted Faces - Meet Emily and Esther

$

I finally finished theRegency Era  paperclay and painted faces dolls that I was making based upon the Bonnets and Beaus: A Regency Doll Project online class that I've been taking during the first session of Artful Gathering.

The online class was taught by Hally Levesque who is an exceptional art doll artist, photographer and a bit of a history buff. Not only are her video's easy to follow and beautifully taught but they are sprinkled with historical tidbits of life with Jane Austen - which I loved.   Now why would that be? Hmmm.... History tidbits for a history buff....... Hmmm....

Since I never do anything in moderation I, of course, couldn't just make one doll. I had to make two.

I was looking forward to taking this class as it would be the first time I would be sculpting the dolls faces, hands, and feet out of paperclay and then painting them with acrylic paints. Acrylic painting of any sort is not my strongest skill - so I knew this would be very challenging. At the very least it was going to be interesting if not comical.


I had no problem with the costumes and cloth body. Sculpting the heads and legs was a bit of a challenge but I finally got the knack of it after experimenting a few times. Sculpting the fingers was much harder than I had anticipated and I ended up not liking mine. They looked like Frandkenstein hands so I changed them into more of a solid hand.

Painting the faces was a real challenge. I just couldn't get them the way I would have liked them to be. Suffice to say, acrylic painting of doll faces is still not by strongest suit.

They say practice makes perfect so, who knows. Perhaps it's a skill I can master over time. Right now I wouldn't hold my breath.

Instead of using mohair for their hair I decided to use my sister's alpaca fiber from her Rock Garden Alpacas Farm. I used Zinnia's beautiful fiber for the doll in the white outfit and Ivy's fiber for the doll in the dark brown and black outfit. If you'd like to check out my sister Rock Garden Alpaca Fiber please click hereor visit her Etsy store here.I LOVE working with the alpaca fiber. It makes fantastic doll hair.

All in all I was satisfied with the way my dolls came out and decided to name them Emily and Esther. Emily is the doll in the white outfit and Esther is the doll in the dark brown and black outift. Here's their stories:


Emily and Esther are not only best friends, but are sisters of the heart. They're not blood relatives, but have grown up together and act like sisters in every conceivable way. Where you find Emily you also find Esther. They dress alike, act alike, and finish each others sentences. They laugh at the same jokes, wear the same perfume, have the same tastes and opinions on just about every subject, and have the same dispositions.


So, of course, when it came to beau's they both fell in love with the same man, Augustus. He, of course, fell in love with both of them - they were so much alike. Both beautiful and both the essence of femininity. How could he not love both of them?


But, Augustus knew that he couldn't court both of them at the same time. That would just be wrong and totally scandalous. He loved both of them but couldn't very well marry both of them. What could he do? What should he do?


Emily and Esther knew that Augustus loved both of them, but knew he couldn't court both of them or marry both of them. If either one of them wanted to marry him he would have to choose between them or they would have to decide this for him. Should they choose for him?

What a dilemma. What should they do?  Should Emily marry Augustus or should Esther marry Augustus? And, how were they to choose.

Or, should they both walk away from the only man each has ever loved?

Should one be happy or should both be miserable? What a dilemma? What should they do?

Hmmm...... What do you think they'll do?

Check Out These New #BATMAN Justice League PVC Figures by Schleich

Schleich™ is a German producer of toy figurines and accessories headquartered in Germany. The traditional market for Schleich products is Mainland Europe, with half their sales in Germany. But, they do import these toys to the United States and you can find them at places like Wal-Mart and Toys R Us.

Their main focus is creating very life-like reproductions of natural animals from our world. They also make figures with a "Fantasy/Dragons" theme, Realistic-looking Dinosaurs, and even Smurfs.  So, it's kinda strange (but very cool) that they are now going to be coming out with a whole new line of DC Comics' JUSTICE LEAGUE figures. I don't have an exact release date on these yet but I'm sure you can find them pretty soon so keep an eye out.

Shown here are some of the Batman ones, at least 3 different poses, but the line will also include Superman, Green Lantern, The Flash, etc... Then, down below, is a photo showing a special boxed set titled, "BATMAN VS JOKER"... very cool!




Real Grade Gundam Astray Red Frame gets promo video at AX

The Real Grade line is expanding later this year to include the found in a destroyed colony Gundam Astray Red Frame. It's been a favorite design among fans, which helps to explain why SEED is seeing yet another RG release. This weekend, the promotional video is on hand at Anime Expo and a kind soul saw to it that those at the show would be able to see it.

Sure, it's another release from the Gundam SEED universe, but it's the Astray and that makes about anything related to it justifiable. When you watch the video, you can see why this design deserves a release as a Real Grade. Given that it's already seen everything from SD, Build Fighters variations, and even all the way to Perfect, they had to make this a kit that people would want even if they have all of the other versions.

Check out for yourself if the RG Gundam Astray Red Frame is something you'll be wanting to add to your collection with the video linked below.

#BATMAN THE ANIMATED PODCAST With Justin Michael #BTAS

On a personal level, in the last couple of years, I have become obsessed with listening to podcasts (WTF with Marc Maron is one of my favorites). This new media is pretty fun and one thing I really like about it is that it's very niche-oriented, meaning, that you can find ones that relate to very specific topics you enjoy (Comedy, Cooking, Tech News, etc...). 

So, I was pretty happy the other day to stumble across one that is totally devoted to the 1990's BATMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES!

It's created by a guy named Justin Michael who lives in Los Angeles. In each episode of the podcast he focuses on an actual episode of the cartoon and he has a special guest along with him who was a part of it. 

It's a cool concept and he has had Paul Dini, Seth Green, Andrea Romano, and many others (way too many to list). Here's a nice sample down below, check 'em out!!

This new BATGIRL Signature Series Maquette Statue (Yvonne Craig variation) is available for pre-order right now and it's totally torturing me that I'm wayyy too broke to buy it, ha ha!  It is 1/6th scale (13 inches tall on her base) and was sculpted by Trevor Grove. It's made by the Tweeterhead company and they are offering two versions.

Version #1 includes The Batgirl Maquette with the Batty Award and lithograph of the 1960's concept art of Batgirl's secret door. Version #1 will retail for $249.99.

Version #2 includes everything above and a certificate signed by Batgirl herself, Yvonne Craig. Version #2 will retail for $279.99.

Batgirl's Batty Award (from the episode "Catwoman's Dressed to Kill") and lithograph are only available as a tweeterhead exclusive.

Here's some great news for friends living on the other side of the globe but kinda crappy for us who live in the United States, ha ha! In Europe (Belgium, France, etc...) they have a Fast Food Restaurant Chain called "QUICK!".

Basically, it's a hamburger place and right now they are offering DC Comics' Superhero Meals that come with some extremely awesome promo character glasses! Shown here is an actual photo of the "Batman" Glass (Thank you Salvatore!).



Yes, you read that right, promo glasses! I grew-up with these things in the 1970's and restaurants here in the US have stopped offering these a long time ago (lawsuits probably). But it's extremely cool that all our friends overseas will get to enjoy these! 

The complete set includes the Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman. Click on the photo down below for a larger, sharper, photo:




One last thing, check out this awesome TV Commercial airing over there right now!! Also, a special "Thank You" goes out to a good friend named Thierry who helped me with the official QUICK website!
