Here it is Friday already and I'm wondering where this week went. I had planned to have my project finished by today , the first part of the project anyway so I could get started on the main part of the work but one small oversight slowed things down . The oversight was, in my haste I bought the wrong JB Weld , a compound that I use to hold things I'm building together.
JB Weld is a two part resin/glue that is just great for many things. JB sets up in 20 minutes . The mfg. recently added another type that sets up in 4 to 6 hours and that is the one I mistakenly bought.
I wondered what was wrong , why wouldn't my project set up ? I finally saw the mistake and had someone pick up the right JB for me so now I'm back on track. I guess that old adage of , "haste makes waste", is right. In this case it was time wasted.

New Indian doll blog site
Hello Everyone,
I have had my web master set up a blog site for the Indian dolls that I create. Dolls really isn't an appropriate word, for dolls suggests toys. My creations are not toys . They are my version of Indian people of an earlier time. I represent them doing the ordinary daily things they might have done back then.
From the time I was a little girl I had two passions-I wanted to fly and I wanted to make dolls. I have been very fortunate for I have lived my dream...my career was spent in aviation and I am also making dolls. there's that word again!
The heads, hands, feet and legs of the Indian figures I make are sculped from Pro Sculpt which is made of PVC and plasticizer. In other words, it's a plastic clay . The sculpted part is cured in an oven.
The body of the figure is generally a wire armature with a fabric body-stocking filled with polyester fiberfill. Occassionally the body will all be made from clay .
I have a head full of ' Indian dolls' I want to make...a mother holding her baby, a young man playing his flute for a beautiful young woman , also women tanning a deer hide. Those are a few of some things I would like to make. I have more ideas than time to make the figures.
This is my first blog on this site so I don't know if it allows viewers to comment or not but if it does do send me your comments or questions.
