The making of the coral fan crown in Sterling Silver for Sirena via the lost wax casting method. First I made rubber molds of coral branches, then I took wax impressions from those molds and cut and fused together the coral parts into various combinations. Assembled into a fan crown, crossed my fingers, and hoped that it would turn out in metal. And it did!

Netflix and molds. This is the last stage of my new costumed doll that I've been working on for the past two months since quarantine began. I'm injecting modular components of her costume for lost wax casting while binge watching Ripper Street. I love problem solving to a backdrop of crime solving (already burned through Murdoch Mysteries TWICE!)

The Favourite has seen many dolls made and sold, but she remains with me. I never realized I had one until I spent 60 days in isolation with mostly dolls for company. That’s a recipe for madness.

A crown for Sirena
I think the news cycle is infecting my creative process. I wanted to freestyle a fun project to distract myself from the Corona virus, and I just realized what I made. Can't escape from my thoughts.

This dress got a little dirty during the Lost Souls photoshoot in the forest, so I had to clean it and hang it up to dry.
Shelly - Lost Souls
in New Doll
“People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right”
