New work in progress  

Posted by: Tatiana

I have been so slow lately, with just everything I do. I hope it's because of the hot days we are having here in Brazil, they make me lazy. It's been a long time I don't post anything, not that I didn't have anything to say, but there were many family issues which needed my attention. My husband's work schedule has changed, again! It's hard to focus on a sculpting routine this way.
This fairy is all planned in my mind, but I don't want to write too much about her until I'm sure "she" won't make me change the first sketches. It drives me crazy not being able to "see" when I will finish her. I have been feeling a bit empty lately - in so many aspects of my life. It's only natural I think, I want to believe it will push me look for ways to become a better person.

Typus, the Guardian Fairy  

Posted by: Tatiana in


It was a great experience to finish the Male Fairy during the 10 days auction. Not only because it was a WIP auction, but also because I had to finish it in 8 days, as I wanted to have his pictures done for the 2 last days of auction. I want to thank my dear husband so much, for his endless support. Without him I couldn't do it. Also thank my mother who always find a way to help, I love you mom!
Some people e-mailed me to say how much they liked Typus, I was so glad to know that.
Now that the auction is finished I only hope the winner will like him personally as much as she did on the photos.
I'm thinking about my next project which I will start on tuesday 27. I wanted to have a witch fairy for halloween as I did last year, but I'm too late now... so I'm thinking of something else...
My baby just got the flu, I will be giving him more than all my love until he is well again (if that is possible).
It's better not to make plans for now.

Finished "Darla" Fairy  

Posted by: Tatiana

She is now on her way home to Las Vegas, USA. Hopefully she will arrive soon to her new family and will make them happy.
Click on the picture to enlarge or visit my website for more pictures of her.
It was a pleasure for me to create this fairy. I really enjoyed all the brainstorming with the clients who I can call friends now =)
I feel the creation of this fairy somehow helped me learn more about myself, understanding my limits which I never seem to be able to respect.

Removable clothing

the fairy's clothes

SkirtIt is the first time I create removable clothes. It was a huge challenge for me as I can't sew. But I just love challenges and I am happy with the result of this one.

It took me 2 days to finish it, between brainstorming and creating. I had the great help of my dear husband, but this time it wasn't practical, it was his presence only that inspired me and gave me the "light" I was waiting for to make the clothes. Thank you love!

I hope the client will enjoy dressing and undressing her fairy. =)

I love sculpting hands so much. I fell they are getting better and better but I think there is still so much to improve until they are perfect! Spent long hours on these hands. What do you think about them? =)

Today I cried...  

Posted by: Tatiana in

Today I discovered the beautiful dolls made by Marina Bychkova - Enchanted Doll. I was taking a look at the auctions on ebay pulse where I found her Lolita listing. It made me want to know more about her work, I visited her website and while looking at her gallery I realized I was crying by the beauty of her work...

It is not frequently that an artwork touches me that much. I don't know how to explain it very well, but those dolls inspired the sweetest feelings in me, and brought back the strong wish of a dream come true. It is not only looking at a doll, like I am used to do. It is almost like looking at myself.
