The travels of Bent Willow Woman

Bent Willow Woman is a doll that I started for the Art Dolls Only Traveling Art Doll Project. She left me in March and has been traveling to different members of my group, The American Pies. Each month a different doll maker adds her creative touches to Bent Willow Woman (BWW)  and then writes in the journal that is traveling with her. The project is nearing the end and I wanted to share her travels so far.

Here is how she looked when she started:

Life from a puppets point of view

I loved this short piece on life from a puppets point of view by Coraline director Henry Selick. It very much resembles how I think about my dolls as I'm making them.
Check it out here :)

I have a new home (on the web)

Yep, that's right. I have a new home on the web. 

I just went live with

http://www.jesiferguson.com . 

Wait!! Don't panic. 

This blog is a part of that website and won't be going anywhere. 

I have added a menu for the new site on the left 

so that you can check out the rest of the site.

I hope you like it. I had fun putting it together. 

I have more things I want add, but the basics are there.

I hope you'll take a moment and check it out.

ooooooo Something New!

Well as promised, 

here is my newest Root Witch, 

Wind Dancer

She started out as something totally different.

Then when I began sculpting, those eyes started speaking to me 

 She managed to lift my spirits on a day when I almost thought it was impossible to feel peace.

She has been hanging around to reminding me the only reason I can't dance on the wind is because I don't believe. 

Every day she greets me with her arms outstretched, 

offering her wisdom and love. 

Tempting me to believe...

She has been a wonderful companion 

and now I'd like to share her with you. 

She is up for auction on eBay. 

Three days only.

No reserve

I hope you enjoy her.

More to come tomorrow. 

*wink*

Ha ha! 2 minutes left!

Two minutes left and I am making my Wednesday post! Bwa ha ha !!!  I didn't miss my schedule!
Here's a quick preview of a piece I'm posting tomorrow.

I'll give you the details tomorrow. :) 

I'm not a zombie...

I have not returned from the grave; just from some rather intense medical procedures. Sorry to have been quiet for so long...But I'm sure you'd rather not talk about that. I know I'd rather skip the whole conversation. LOL Let's just say I'm better than I have been in a LONG TIME and I plan to stay this way. 


Let's grab a cup of something yummy and catch up, shall we? 


Lets see, since we talked last McAnally and I have decided to bring a new fuzzybaby into the house. Her name is Leannan Sidhe and she was 4 weeks old yesterday. 

She lives with our neighbor and has been coming to visit for the last two weeks. She's a quiet girl, but she has attitude. McAnally thinks she is great. He does, however, think she needs a kitty makeover and is doing his best to give her one when they aren't playing hid-n-seek. LOL




The music man and I went to Allentown Art Festival June 11th. Wow! what fun! So many artists with amazing works. And the food was yummy too :)  We had a wonderful time talking to the artists and grabbing up some goodies. 

We bought some lovely cards from Kevin Stone at  FlyingWhaleStudios. They are from the Rural Blight Collection. I just fell in love with "Louder Sang The Ghost" & "The Things We Lost".  We picked up 6 in all and they are framed and  hanging on my kitchen wall. I couldn't bear to send them once I got them home. LOL I WILL be buying some larger prints from that collection. I LOVE IT! 


Check out these rockin' airship ornaments by Joe Sturckler! If you love them like I do, you can contact him HERE (click for email) 

The Music Man had to DRAG me away from James Browne's booth. 
I SO want to buy everything he has for my studio. It just puts me in that magical frame of mind. But out of all the lovelies he has, "Moon Sitting" is my absolute fave! I WILL have a copy of that for my studio. Perhaps then my muse will get the hint and Moon Sit me :)

We took a tour of the Trinity Church in Buffalo. The windows in this church are AMAZING! My photos do not do them justice. 

I could go on and on about things we saw, but I'll save some of it for later. 


It's good to be back.  I'll have some new pieces to show you very soon. So be sure to check back in.  


My plan is to post at least on Monday, Wed & Friday. Anyone who knows me knows I ALWAYS have something to talk about. LOL
 So lets see how good I am at keeping my schedule.
