I got some
Gee
Oh
Oh

GOOOOOOOOOD news today!! I'm still in shock. WAY in shock.
Because the shipping to send my the circus freaks to Somerset Magazine's Art Doll Quarterly wouldn't be cheap, I thought I would put out a feeler to the editor about whether or not they would even be interested in them before I sent them. I sent a photo via email, and a quick note explaining them, and hit send before I could change my mind.
I didn't really think that much about it, because I figured it would take some time for them to look them over, and IF they wanted them, I thought they would email... but if they didn't, I didn't expect to hear from them at all...
So I was really surprised when I checked my email today...
"We love your French Circus dolls and I have GOOD NEWS! They have been selected for publication in Art Doll Quarterly."
HOLY.
SHIT.
I'm so excited I am beside myself!! Soooo Come Feb. 2010, I should have my dolls PUBLISHED!!!
Annnnnd... in other news... I'm taking a couple dolls with me to the Texas TallyRally to raffle off... and have been wanting to make a miniature one... so using a pre made body (that I bought before I learned more about doll making) I sculpted a head and face, and made a teeny girl!! I even made her a mini tag for her back. I've put a dime in the picture for size reference.
