What has Muisje been up to?

A tumblr blog dedicated to stuff I make ranging from sculpting, doll making, knitting, painting, photography, writing and a lot more. I'm from 1983, married and have two pet rabbits.

Watercolour test with the tubes and pencils from the lastest scrawlrbox. Looks like cows inspire me more than leaves.

A quick card that I made fir a wholesome card exchange. I used Stylefile brush markers and Chameleon markers from the past two Scrawlrboxes to colour my line work.

Posted it on my other account and as I'm on mobile and I have a book waiting for me, I'll just repost instead of deleting and posting in my art Tumblr.

I’m not dead. Just very busy.

Last month's Scrawlrbox left me uninsprired, but this month I felt like trying even though I haven't used pastels in years and they aren't my favourite medium. Only one of the pencils kept breaking when being sharpened, so I guess that's good for pencils sent by mail and shoved through my mailbox.

Wilhelm by Muisjepop on Batchix’s Lagoon body.

Wow! The head looks really nice this way. Such a pleasure to see what other people do with Wilhelm. <3

I had stamps made of my new logo design. I can now send stuff in style!

I'm re-opening the sales on Wilhelm, the head created for Fairyland Chic-line bodies. To celebrate this event I'm offering a 15% off coupon till the end of September: OPEN15

Double page on Flickr.

Finally finished!

[muisjepop]

Two art journal pages. The top one is copic markers, coffee staining and a correction pen and is based on something I once said to someone starting therapy. The bottom one is copic markers, black ink and some tape that was easily peeled off.

Needle felt wig on Flickr.

A wig I made for Wilgenroosje (my Narae N406).

Nothing is going to keep Dolly from her food.

Wilgenroosje with face-up on Flickr.

It's been more than a year since my last face-up, but finally now that I can do face-ups again I actually did. My Wilgenroosje, who is a grey resin Narae.

I made a card. :D

[muisjepop]

I'm alive! Brand new baby asks for brand new blanket and since I had some yarn left also a brand new hat. (It's a little big, so she'll have to grow into it.)

I've been asked how to put a Wilhelm head on a Fairyland Chicline body. This video shows how to remove a Fairyland Chicline head and the head connector. After removing the head connector piece, putting the Wilhelm head on is easy. Removing the Wilhelm head and putting the Chicline head back on is done just as fast.

Of all the things I post in this blog, it's not my art, sculpting or dolls that get the most notes. It's Kunibert.

[muisjepop]

A little bit more work done. I like sculpting butts.

[muisjepop]

Working on a body for the Wilhelm head. It's all very rough, because I've learned that trying to start with perfection (the best design sketches and everything planned out) means I'll never start. This is already a lot more of preparation than I did for the other doll I'm (still) working on.

It's polystyrene foam wrapped with cling film and covered with LaDoll clay. I think this took me about an hour. (=sometimes I really need to push myself into action even if that means starting a bit rushed. Hopefully it won't bite me in the behind later on.)
