Boneyard Boy

It's amazing to watch a true artist at work and that's something I got to do Saturday night. Sherry Goshon and I were sitting in my studio and I was asking her for advice on a bias problem I had with a booted foot. To show her what I had done I brought out my boneyard bag - you know - all the leftover pieces and parts that didn't work for a doll but you kept anyway.

As they fell onto the table some of them spoke to her ... this is what they said ....

The head is a Pam Grose pattern piece that got turned into an alien - eyes are marbles, the body is my own design - kind of pear shaped, the legs are from a Patti Culea pattern, the arms from Lynne Butcher's Rainforest Elf. Sherry drew up ears and feet without much thought - and the proportions were right and they looked great. Probably would have taken me about five tries, LOL. It was pretty awesome.

Wow pretty awesome you can say that again!
Amazing isn't it what an artist like Sherry can do with what we might even think no good to use.

Judi,
Boneyard Boy is great. Isn't it something to sit and watch what the experts can do and the quickness they do it in. He is really cool

Sherry's incredible! And so are YOU! You 2 would make a great doll making team! I admire all the ideas you both have! Boneyard Boy is really a CUTIE! Who'd think of taking random body parts & creating a new creature? (Heehee! Well, Frankenstein did. I forgot HIM.) But Sherry's creation is decidedly prettier!
