the aliens have landed....

Objective: to make a one piece doll with very long thin arms and legs....

Outcome: one very alien like one piece doll with very long thin arms and legs....

maybe clothes will make all the difference!

This is my recently acquired old typewriter...Rose is fascinated by it and I am having a ball with it. I'd forgotten how much fun it is to use a manual typewriter after years of using the computer.

Actually I don't think that it was that much fun when I had to do a school assignment way back when on it,as my typing skills were dreadful ( and haven't improved one bit - thank goodness for spell check!)

Now, however It is the perfect tool for adding text to ATC's, swing tags and gift cards.....some are in the works and hopefully I will get a few pics up soon. Not much spare time at present as it's the last week of school holidays.Lots of cooking, visiting and kid's craft happening but not too much else!

Did manage to find a few beautiful vintage buttons though that have come in very handy for a small project that I have been working on for a friend......I'll let you know when the site is all up and running...

I failed typing at school! I kept looking at my fingers. The doll is kind of groovy.

i love that doll...I think 'it' has great potential. go with the alien thing. Little boys will certainly like it.

You're a wonder! Love the typewriter and well, the buttons .....

The doll has potential !!! I create so many that just don't!!! Clothes or no clothes. Your toys looked fantastic at the Morphe opening. I had a toy named Claude aswell!!!!

Oh I just adore those vintage buttons, especially the little birds! And I agree the doll has loads of potential.

Great.
The Aliens have landed.
Reminds me of a fellow who repeatedly kept calling up Art Bell in his distinctive raspy voice.
"Art - I live by the river and almost every night there are UFOs... project blue book.
... Art Bell - this is the proof...."
"Art I have it figured out why the UFOs are coming. I live by a home for wayward girls....the ufos are there for the girls ovaries and uterus.:
Turns out the UFOS were the reflection of the halogen lamps from the parking lot of the girls schools onto the river .

I like the doll - the necks are hard to get right on once peice dolls, and how did you manage to stuff her so evenly? She'll look fantastic in a really eccentric dress - lots of trim and flounce!!

wonderful doll- it's nice to see such an original one (one piece? how did you do it?!)
And the buttons are divine... you find the best vintage stuff!

what i remember most about typewriters is how mcuh it hurts to hit the keys! but the alien... how'd you do that?

[christina]

i just picked up another typewriter the other day. it is so cute in style i just had to get it. my justification was that Alena could have it when she was old enough to enjoy it...

your doll looks cute and i am sure that it will just look better with clothes on.

enjoy your time with the girls.
