Mini Posable Day Of The Dead Doll, Cipriana, New On EBAY

 Meet little Miss Cipriana, Dia de los Muertos one of a kind art doll.
She is quite shy and modest and she was not happy with me taking this photo of her before she was dressed. ;)

Cipriana is a tiny little girl measuring 5 3/4" tall.  She would fit in great in a doll house or hanging out as an ornament. 


Ah, much happier being dressed!  


Here is the link to her auction:


Thank you for stopping in to see what is new, here at Anaboo Creations!
Have a Happy 4th of July!

Meet Little Wolfgang A. Moonzart

This little guy is a one of a kind art doll that would be a perfect as a guest at a Halloween Dollhouse or hanging out on a Halloween tree. He is only 5 3/4 inches tall.
He loves music...

He especially likes to dance!


He was created with bendable arms and legs so he can easily show off his fancy dance moves.


We had great fun dancing through this photoshoot!

Here is the link so you can see more photos of this charming little guy in action.

Gremlins The Mischief Makers

Legend has it, there are little creatures that like to cause mischief to mechanical items so they no longer work.  This is especially true on Airplanes.  These creatures are known as Gremlins.  For some reason this is what Steampunk makes me think of, so in addition to my Owl lady I also made these little Baby Gremlin or Widget ornies.   These are currently up for auction on EBAY and they will end on Sunday night. I hope you will stop in and check out their full story.



I hope all of you have a very Happy Easter!
Sylvia

I'd like you to meet Betty Barn Owl, created for the EHAG/PFATT "Screampunk" Art Challenge.

Hello Friends, I'd like to introduce you to Ms. Betty Barn Owl.  Betty has faced many challenges in her life but she has emerged a survivor with a strong and loyal spirit.
She is my "Screampunk" Art Challenge piece.  This art challenge was created for the members of both PFATT and EHAG art groups.  The challenge was to create a piece that combines Steampunk and Halloween! 




This challenge was so much fun! 
Betty will be available on EBAY starting tonight.  Her auction will end Sunday night. 
I hope you will stop by and read the story of how she became a Magical Owl.
CLICK HERE to go to her auction.

My Inspiration.

Please make sure you look up Screampunk on EBAY and check out the EHAG emporium on the 31st for more challenge pieces by several of my super talented artist friends.
I feel very fortunate to be included as all of the challenge pieces I have seen are amazing! 
Have a wonderful week! 
Sylvia : )

Lucky! Lucky! Lucky!

Sometimes when I am looking for vintage scraps of fabric and trim I will look through what's available locally in our antique shops and antique malls.  But sometimes I feel like perusing EBAY for extra special finds.  
In some ways EBAY has been as much of a social network as Facebook.  You see, I purchased a lovely set of vintage velvet samples and ribbon from Ebay seller lily-jean.  In our communications I found out that she was keen on clearing her space. So as we chatted over e-mail I let her know that I am a doll maker and love to use vintage trims/fabrics when possible. Sooo she sent me photos of the things she had for me to chose from! 
Why is this so special you ask? Well Jean is a designer and a dressmaker and has lots of scraps of vintage fabrics and laces! So I sent her a very reasonable amount of money and she sent me a magical package full of goodies!!! The lot I got dates from 1890-1920, perfectly my style.  I spent over an hour going through each piece and admiring the silky feel, the luxurious texture and all the unique detail of these lovely scraps. Of course this put my creative mind into overdrive! 
I highly recommend Jean to all my doll maker friends who also use vintage fabric in their dolls. 
You can visit Jean's website here Jean Dubberley Designer & Dress maker and you can check out her current EBAY auctions here: lily-jean
If you do make contact with Jean please tell her Hello from Me : )
As I consider her my newest friend in the UK.







Thank you so very much Jean for the treasures you sent me!!!

Ms. Beatrice Bunny Eager to help anyway she can.

Hello Everyone,
As I was busy creating Ms. Beatrice Bunny Japan suffered a massive catastrophic event.  It is very difficult to stay focused on creating when so many of our brothers and sisters in Japan are suffering something I cannot even wrap my head around.  The images I have seen are so devastating that clean up and return to any semblance of normalcy feels so daunting.  My heart and prayers go out to everyone in Japan.

As I was listing Beatrice Bunny on EBAY tonight I found that EBAY has a way where you can contribute  part of your sale to Japan's Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund. Both Beatrice and I are so happy that we may be able to contribute in a small way. She is always ready to be of service and I would be so thrilled to be a small part in making things a tiny bit better, hopefully, through my art.
Please come visit Ms. Beatrice Bunny on EBAY .  She would love to meet you : )
  
Have a wonderful day!
