What is the use of a book,' thought Alice, 'without pictures or conversations?




And what is the use of a blog if I can't post teasers of my newest works?
So here's just a glimpse of Alice...stay turned, she will be in full form first thing tomorrow!

Curiouser and Curiouser!

The countdown is on! Alice is just about complete and will be posted in THREE days, Thursday, July 8th. Some of my favourite lines from the amazing book:

I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!

I can't explain myself, I'm afraid, Sir, because I'm not myself you see.

I think I should understand that better, if I had it written down: but I can't quite follow it as you say it.

It would be so nice if something made sense for a change.

It was much pleasanter at home, when one wasn't always growing larger and smaller, and being ordered about by mice and rabbits.


I absolutely LOVE Alice in Wonderland, and I can't wait to see all the wonderful dolls everyone has come up with!

Some Past Creations...

I've been a busy bee this week between Canada Day celebrations, work, and working on my Alice in Wonderland doll. She's coming together great, I'm just adding some finishing touches and she's done! However I feel like I should at least post something this week, so in lieu of a lengthy, descriptive blog entry, here's a peek at some of my past works. Enjoy!

A Work in Progress...

This year I'm excited to be participating in Art Dolls Only Wonderland Blog event.
I had started making Alice before I knew anything about it, so imagine how excited I was when I found it!
Anyway, here's what I've got so far...



Off with her head!!!

Alright alright, I made her a head. Her hair is looking a little sparse at the moment though...



I'm loving her so far!

New shop...what have I gotten myself into?!

After months of debating pros and cons of having three (yes, THREE) shops, I have decided to move my art dolls from CraftsbyCayleigh.etsy.com into a separate shop altogether, and possibly phase out CraftsbyCayleigh. So far I only have two dolls listed, but there will be many more to come!

I am hoping to reach more doll collectors by having a more specific shop...Fingers are crossed, anyway!
