Pressie... for you?

Dolls, dolls and more dolls....
Lately, I have mostly been making dolls ... all presents - one of which has already been sent so i can not share her here, but here's the others....
First there is this one for my workfriend Teresa...to say goodbye... I work my last official day tomorrow (yikes!) ...she loves purple
This dinky one is for my work friend Heather....it's just under 4 inches tall...cute!
A christmas gift for my friend Debbie who is over visiting from LA
A christmas gift for someone else (in case they look here they shall remain nameless but hopefully hopeful)
and some one else
What dya think.. think they'll like 'em?

New Paintings
Thought i'd share my most recent paintings that i've completed as part of the 'painting layers' course with Misty Mawn ...which i have loved....
Counting down now until i finish work...was clearing out all my drawers and files yesterday with some pangs of nostalgia ... but I am ready to move on in a new direction...the ideas are perculating of what i might do next... one thing i now know about myself is that i get bored easily...i like variety and challenge and learning new things all the time...so i know i am perhaps best suited to doing lots of 'little' jobs rather than one 'big' job - i have more chance to free myself from the monotiny of routine and predictable work, from being absorbed in detail..My plan is that each opportunity that might present itself is going to be measured on my scales of contentment! So....how much material value v how much soul value/ satisfaction will the work bring?...which one am i most in need of at that time?....I hope i always have the resources and courage to let the latter win and guide me every time...but i guess it's always about balance too... mundane things highlight the exciting things, the big the small, the practical and the ideological...One thing i am trying hardest to do is benchmark and direct my life by my needs, standards and desires and not those of societal pressure and the delusion of collusion...
