My Swap Doll Is Here!

A package arrived yesterday from Florida. Inside was a lovely doll from Moriah Betterly of MLB Studios! In a previous post I showed you the doll I made for Moriah, now I get to share with you the doll Moriah made for me. 

I just love Day of the Dead, Dia de los Muertos. Moriah made me a lovely La Calavera Catrina style doll. She's so hauntingly beautiful!

To give you an idea of her size, she's just slightly under 12 inches tall. I don't know how Moriah works on a face so (to me) small and gives it such amazing detail.

I have small hands so this gives you a good idea of her head size. She has a beautiful crown of black and pink roses.

She has a sweet stitched bodice with black lace.

Her skirt has beautiful ruffles with a sweet tieback over skirt. The photos are coming out really pink but the color is more a lovely dark magenta with sparkles.

Moriah also included one of her new snowman ornies. I love snowmen and this is a great piece. He has a paper clay head, hands, feet and I believe buttons too with a sewn and stuffed body. It's a work of art in itself.

I will treasure both of these always!

Some cute things I won.

I've won 2 giveaways. One was just recently and the other was a while ago I just keep forgetting to do a post about it.

The recent one was a giveaway that oldblackcatboo had on her blog. It was this sweet little painted cat doll named Abigail. I adore her!

She's so tiny and sweet! She caught two mice but doesn't seem to know what to do with them.

Cindi will have an etsy shop soon I hope. She also paints and is a great blog friend. Check out her blog. On Wednesdays she does a Pet Tip Feature which is very informative.

The second giveaway I won was from MLB Studios. Moriah is another special blog friend. She is a super multi talented artist. She paints, makes dolls and her specialty is miniatures. I won this amazing matchbook doll. So tiny, so ghoulish/zombie-ish and yet so cute!

Look she fits in my hand!

She lives in a little matchbox on my computer desk. I call her Tiny Tina.
