New Work-Zoey half bunny half steampunk soul

Meet Zoey, half bunny, half steampunk soul. Zoey never wanted to be a pirate, but it's what her family did. That is until the Evil Soul Sucker invaded. Her brother snuck her off the ship late one night, firmly planting the helmet on her head and the gun in her waistband. Zoey hasn't seen her family since. She's joining the rebellion in hopes to see the pirate ship again, she hates to admit it but she misses it.

Zoey is 14" tall x 4" wide x 2 1/2" deep. She is hand sculpted from paper clay over an armature. Her arms and legs are slightly poseable. The parts of her that are bunny are white flocking. She is hand painted in layers, then sealed with a matte finish. She has a watch part for her right eye, and a vintage enameled watch face on her chest. Her clothes are hand stitched and not removable. Her helmet is made of a vintage watch tin, wind up part of a watch, a found chain, and is not removable. The steampunk gun is removable. She is titled, signed and dated.

and yup you guessed it, she's available in my etsy shop! http://www.etsy.com/listing/79904333/gothic-art-doll-steampunk-souls-bunny 

I started off trying to make a smaller doll that would be more affordable in our current times, but even though she's a wee bit smaller she took me every bit of 3 full days to complete. I did lower her price a bit from the other dolls to help buyers out for now. I think she's one of my favorites so far ;o) I don't know if I got the obsession from the Alice doll I did, or I saw these cute bunny paintings on etsy by

brienna

remove or if it was the dolls on the cover of Art Doll Quarterly last month by Sheri DeBow, whatever it was I was obsessed with making a bunny girl and she wouldn't rest until she was made! 

Of course originally I had her sketched out in more of an armor type of outfit, and she just wasn't having it, she's a victorian lady...er...bunny pirate all the way ;o) Hope everyone is having a great week! (someone asked me about the ornaments, in the other post, if you see one you like just email me at michelel@michelelynchart.com and I can send you a paypal invoice or answer any questions you have. The two grim reapers are sold.) xo Michele

It's Coming....

Here's my sneak peek for Spooky Time Jingles update on the 13th! Also....

come make a wish with us!

Spooky Time Jingles Etsy Shop Now Open!!

I'm sorry I've been so absent lately! I've been working my tail off I just haven't had time to blog, sadly. I took a full time job a while back so that's been keeping me busy on top of the National Halloween Show I participated in with Spooky Time Jingles and then the secret project that I've hinted at. I'll be able to tell you more closer to November ;o) I've made 5 pieces for that. Which I think I might have shown you all most of them anyway ;o) So there were only 3 pieces that I sent to the National Halloween Show that didn't sell there! Hooray! And they are now available in Spooky Time Jingles etsy shop! 

Click on the spooky time jingles picture to be taken to the shop! Lots of great art there! 

Here is the Biohazard Medic that I have in the shop:

He is one of my all time favorites!! There two more pieces that I've included in the shop!

I'm trying to get a piece made for the Spooky Time Jingles update tomorrow night at midnight but I'm not sure I'm going to make it! I'll let you all know if I do! Hope everyone has been having a great summer so far! xo Michele

I'm sorry I've been so absent lately! I promise I haven't been slacking! Between finally getting over that nasty bug I had, working full time and working on another project I just haven't found the time to blog lately :o( I've missed you all! This is Isabella and she's for a secret project that I'll tell you all about later ;o) But I just thought it would be nice for everyone to see that I am working! I promise! Isabella is 11 inches tall to the top of her hair so she's a bit bigger than the other steampunk souls I've been creating :o) Hope everyone is well and being creative :o)) I'm off this weekend, so it will be a mache marathon!! xoxo

This is a cabbit LOL! He's a cat/rabbit! Okay so it's actually a black cat with bunny ears on, but don't tell him you can tell he's not really a rabbit! His name is Marvin and Marvin uses his smile to pick up chicks. LOL okay I know it was corney, but I gotta amuse myself lol! Tonight is the Spooky Time Jingles update at Midnight and there are lots of goodies in store from the peeks I've seen! Be sure to check out all the fabulous artists on there! Marvin will be there, along with these fellows ;o) Did they turn out how you pictured them, after seeing only a peek of them in white?

Steampunk Art Doll Billy

The rebellion is growing! Some of the Steampunk Souls say that Billy went crazy in the Soul Suckers prison and now he thinks he really is a bird. Billy hears what they say about him, but he knows he can fly thanks to the Soul Suckers doctors, if only someone would wind up his key. Anyone want to help a guy out?

Billy is approx. 5 1/2" tall and about 4" in depth, he's 3 1/2" wide. His beak is removable His legs are some kind of bolt things I found in hubbys tool box. Let's hope then weren't important ;o) He is available tonight in my Etsy shop.

Hope everyone is having a good week! I had to return something today and I was amazed at how many people were there! Why weren't they all at work??? lol. The conjoined twins are coming tomorrow ;o) Have a great night everyone! xo Michele

Etsy Update!

Oops! I totally forgot that yesterday was Monday! Hope you all had a wonderful 3 day weekend! I spent it working around here. We finally got the kitchen painted! So now except for new lighting and painting the ceiling it's done!! Wooo Hoooo! We also spent the weekend shoveling 10 cubic yards of dirt to fill a hole where we took out a pool. I hurt in spots that I didn't know could hurt! The other thing I got done was to update my etsy shop!! FINALLY!!! Let's here another Wooo Hooo!!! So if you get a chance take a peek:
http://michelelynchart.etsy.com Flower Fran is one of the items you'll find on there!! Those of you who have been with me forever, know I used to do paper mache figures and I love it! I can't stay in one medium and I have to say I've finally decided to listen to my heart and create what I need to create and not try to follow some silly rules. So I will be listing more paper mache again soon. I created Flower Fran in 2004 and she has lived with me ever since, she is the only piece I ever kept and she makes me smile every day! But I've decided it's time for her to share her grin with someone new, so I listed her on etsy. Hope someone will give her a new home with lots of love! New fused glass pendants will be listed tomorrow in my ebay store. Wooo hoooo!!!
