My mom and sister are fancy pants doll sculptors and sculpt collectable dolls for doll companies and other things. I’ve mentioned them before but not often because I’m just not into the doll thing. I can appreciate what it takes to make one from scratch though and it’s amazing. In fact I tried to do it once (okay maybe 4 times) but that’s a talent I just don’t possess. I created a caveman baby head with a pelt that looks like the Trumps on top. I still have it as a sort of sculpting birth control. One look from that thing and I don’t get the urge to sculpt anymore ;o).
I was visiting my mom a few months back and she showed me one of her latest projects. She handed me a fun necklace with a tin attached. I’ve always loved lockets and secret compartment things so I thought it was just one of those. I opened the tin and in it was a 1”micro baby-
It’s not just any teeny weeny baby either, it’s soft and squishy! It’s made out of silicone that she molded herself. I can not tell you how hard it is for me to resist holding it between my fingers and squinking it all day long. Ashlyn calls them Grandma’s squinkies but this little bean is even softer than the toys.
After months of begging and pleading, which is rare for me to do for a doll, she gave it to me for my birthday when I went down last week. I think I’m hooked. Now to beg my sister for one of hers and I’ll have a doll collection I can handle.
These little guys aren’t for sale right now but if you’re curious about my doll making family members you can find their newest stuff here under Wendy Dickison and Cindy Musgrove.
