Taking longer than I thought

I was hoping to put up something finished on my magnet dolls today, but getting a full sheet is more work than I realized.  Still, I have some stuff to show.

I've got a little over a half sheet for the twins, who now have names.  They'll have pets, more hairstyles and I'm not sure what else.  I've started with the coloring, though I haven't decided if these are the colors I'll go for or not.  I'll be making the uncolored version available as well.

These are for water inspired sets.  I'll be splitting the boy and girls clothes onto different sheet, which means there's a lot of drawing still to be done.  There will be some nautical and tourist inspired clothing as well, so it won't just be swimwear.  I won't be doing any bikinis or speedos, it's just not my thing.

I'm still deciding things, so feel free to comment on what you'd like to see or if there's anything needing changing.

Magnet Doll has a Brother

I've been working on my magnet doll again today.  I decided that 150 dpi was much too small for something I wanted to work on for a while, it would be better to fix the problem now and make something I was proud of.  Live trace didn't work though, I lost too many details and it kept trying to do odd things with it like make a white background and color the lines grey.  I finally gave up and just increased the size, then ran a sharp filter and touched up the lines.  Took a while, but you can't tell it was once half this size.  I've also made a twin brother for her.  There should be more guy dress ups.

New Magnet Doll

I've always loved paper dolls.  I keep meaning to make them too, but I never have settled on a theme or character or base.  I've even done a few KiSS dolls, which are like paper dolls but electronic.  I really couldn't tell you why I like them so much.  Possibly because I like clothes!

Sharing my Creativity

I have a lot of hobbies because there's so many fun things to do in the world and I want to try them all!  I've actually gotten pretty good at some of them, and I'd like to share the process and results with the world.  I'll be using these posts to show progress on my current project of the day, and if I don't do anything creative that day, I'll highlight a tool or community I use to help me improve my crafts.

Today's bit of creativity was creating this blog.  Feel free to comment and critique, I'd love to make this little corner of the internet even better!
