I have been doing an extraordinary amount of painting lately, unfortunately none of it on my dolls! I've been working hard in preparation of launching Reconstruction, and it's just been consuming all of my time. The good news is, however, that once the series gets underway, I'll be more inclined to work on the dolls (though don't be surprised if I revamp them entirely to match the art style of the series).
In the meantime, I offer this very beautiful and exciting blog: Trouvais. The images are stunning and it has antiques and textiles from throughout history; a cornucopia of inspiration! The picture I am sharing here comes from this website and shows a French dress shop, probably in the 1850s (click to see more details).
Also, check out BustleDress.com for some gorgeous examples of period clothing (recreated), vintage pieces, and tons of fashion plates and other resources. I will be stealing liberally, of course.
I hope you enjoy these websites while I continue to work on my stuff. I promise you that eventually there will be dolls here! Hang in there!
