"Marjolaine", 2009
Art Dolls
Also just in case there are any problems with Esty during my shop update( tomorrow or in the future), I'll post a note here about rescheduling. I don't forsee anything going wrong (knock on wood) but I did notice Etsy was having problems and had to shut down suddenly for maintenance several times this week.
I've had several inquires as to how often I have shop updates and I don't have an exact answer for you~my schedule is rather scattered this summer. I have three projects involving multiple dolls coming up in the next few weeks. But I hope to work on a few more Frida and Day of the Dead dolls for the next shop update which hopefully will be sometime next month. Hope that answers your question(s) for now :)
See you Thursday!
