The Heist (gouache) I didn't take a lot of reference photos in CPH, but this little tree was worth painting. I named this painting after the Jaylib track. This will be my postcard print for July. Join my postcard club on Patreon if you'd like this mini print in the mail - link in my pinned post!!

after i made my wooden doll, i was musing about what other unusual materials i might use for a bjd. my partner suggested paper, and also gave me access to their craft paper collection -> i made this.

she is almost entirely made of paper & cardboard. the joints are wooden beads & worbla, because i did figure out a way to make ball joints out of paper, but it really was not worth the effort. all her limbs have tubes of rolled-up cardboard in them to keep the structure sturdy, and the origami flowers are glued around those.

this is extremely different from any doll i've made before, and i had so much fun working with pretty papers & figuring out how to turn them into a poseable 3d object.
