Happy Halloween!

I was inspired by the doll I made my granddaughter (you can see her in the previous post) to make a 'grown up' version. Unfortunately, I haven't quite finished in time for Halloween - but here's my progress so far:

Say 'Hello' to Glampire and her best friend and nest mate Vampolicella.

Glampire, as her name and appearance would suggest, is concerned with her looks. She has a regular weekly late night appointment at the tanning salon for a respray - for of course, she cannot use the sunbeds - and she has her teeth filed and whitened at the 'Tooth Fairy Salon' every six months.

Her nest mate, Vampolicella, on the other hand, has more basic and earthly concerns, namely sustenance. If she cannot get her favourite AB negative, she will make do with any other, even O pos, and she always likes to top up with a few glasses of good Italian red!

I shouldn't complain though, because now we have enough hot water to fill the bath and I got new worktops and cupboards!

So, in lieu of work, here's where I play:




and just to prove that there IS something happening:
