AMBER STEAM PUNK DOLL


These past few weeks have been so aggravating...my new computer has been one problem after another. Finally found some great guys to help, but they had to take the thing off premises. Gave me the perfect opportunity to spend my energy working on Doll Street's Steam Punk challenge. What a great time I'm having! There's so many facets to explore. I have tables scattered with pieces of "junk" jewelry, chains, watches, remotes...all kinds of things broken apart to get to the parts. If you don't know what Steam Punk is...Google it.
Amber is my first, but there are more to come for several reasons. One being that as I experimented I had rejects. They were put into a little basket, and will be used...in fact I have another in progress as we speak. These first 2 are rather feminine, but I am very attracted to the leather/aviator goggled, gun slinging broads I see on the net, so hope to go there next. To think I used to love sweet little fairies..hahahaha!

  2. She's absolutely amazing - I love her belt! Remember the DS challenge is a stump doll - so maybe one of your future dolls could be stumped!
