I had a ton of fun creating Annabelle! I didn't use any steampunk parts this time and did a little cuter version than I normally do just for fun! I created her wings out of a vintage bible page, resin, and German glass glitter and copper wire. Annabelle is hand sculpted out of paper clay over an armature. Her "dress" is scrapbook paper and I added vintage lace around the bottom and the sleeves. Her bow is also vintage lace. The block is a child's alphabet block I purchased a long time ago at an antique store.
I'm going to list Annabelle on Ebay and see how that goes ;o) Let me know what you all think of her :O)) xo Michele

Oh, I love her! She's still your style with some extra sweetness:) It's fun to go in a new direction sometimes....it keeps things interesting.
Thank you Dawn :o) Yup, it is, it keeps things fresh :o)) xo Michele
Annabelle brought a big smile to my face ... so i guess she's doing her job! I envision the Michele Lynch interpretation of the Chinese terra cotta figures ... with your extended family all lined up in rows. Wouldn't that be funny ... and a little scary! LOL!
Thank you Barbara! OH wouldn't that be cool?!! LOL I think that would be awesome! I'll have to try and get a picture like that lol! xo Michele
I really like her! I have not been getting much traffic to Ebay listings but who knows - it is my first try any way.
Thank you! Well I know what you mean on ebay, etsy seems to have come to a screeching halt too :oP
It seems to be OK if you bring your own traffic - but considering how much Ebay charges - it doesn't seem worth it unless they're going to help bring the traffic! I'm thinking of putting my extras up on Etsy just to have a constant store/gallery available.
Yeah it takes a while to build a following on ebay. Ebay has actually always been good to me. We'll see on the dolls ;o) Good luck with ebay or etsy which ever way you go :o))
I think she is my version of cute too! I think she still has a little naughtiness that is your trademark. It is so much fun to watch artists grow...Annabelle is you...right?
She is splendid!
xox
omg she is adorable.. love it
Thank you so much Lisa and Robin! Yup Lisa you are right, she still has that naughtiness LOL. What Annabelle did with her wings is definitely something like what I would have done as a kid lol! xo Michele
Wow i just found your blog and I'm so glad I did! Your dolls are fantastical!! What a creative spirit you have, and how cool that what you must see in your head, you can actually bring to life in the dolls. Beautiful work!!
