A Haunting We Will Go - part 3

The beauty about being a miniature doll artist is that I can create people, furniture, fixtures, accessories, most anything related to the miniature doll world the way I see them, lifelike or total fantasy. It truly is my world, how's that for being blessed!

And this time of year is especially precious to my studio time because I'm wild about Halloween - Witches, Warlocks, Vampires, the occult, good & evil. I let my imagination run in any direction that builds adventure and unique OOAK creations for my collectors world-wide.

Just the other day I decided it would be fun to create a settee like none I'd seen before, except in my mind. So I started building an image and pictured it in my head. From there I transferred that vision to my hands and then into my finger tips. 

Here's the end result........feast your eyes on a Witches Settee like no other, I guarantee it:

Upholstered in 5 different fabulously fun Halloween cotton fabrics

Another LoreleiBlu original......with 7 pillows (5 are removable) to make a room full of comfort for 

 the favorite friends in your doll house, cottage or magnificent room box

And I don't know about you but I never seem to have enough drawer space in most of my rooms so I created this classic full moon chest of drawers:

The Full Moon Chest of Drawers.......a Witchalicious
Shabby Chic look that Glows in the Dark 

My Etsy Shop is a Witch's hangout , how about grabbing a friend or two and stopping in for a proper cup of Yorkshire Tea and a good spooky story...it's that time of year you know! There's plenty to feast your eyes on with lots of detailed pictures and full descriptions of each treasure for sale. 

Most creations don't stay around long so come and ring the bell that hangs over my cauldron today.

A Haunting We Will Go!

Show of hands...........who enjoys the last day of October as much as I do? Wow, look at all the hands up and the huge smiles on your faces, that's the spirit, literally. 

With "All Hallows' Eve" fast approaching I've picked up my magic wand and created some new friends. Meet one such new star, the Countess:

Vampire Countess Luna Moondragon

Luna is dressed from head to shoes in luscious silk

I hand painted her underskirt and bodice then applied tiny handmade roses to her gown.

Vampire Countess Luna Moondragon also has on black silk bloomers with a black lace petticoat, beautiful purple silk slippers with lace and silk ribbon accents, rings on both hands, a lovely bracelet, tiny earrings and aubergine silk hair. To top off her one of a kind style I created a pewter skull walking stick and a specially made fan. She is the perfect Countess of royalty to bring any doll house or room box to life!

Luna is just one of many OOAK fully poseable miniature dolls available for adoption in my Etsy Shop. Please stop in for a nice cup of tea and be sure to bring your friends!

How To Make Your Boudoir Special

Wow......that was fast, The Raven Bed was featured in my blog on 7/9 and it's already sold and shipped across the country to a new home. My thanks to all for your great response, and positive comments.

Now feast your eyes on another new One Of A Kind creation that might just bring warmth and a great new look to your doll house, I call it The Louise:

It's painted a lovely lavender then aged and distressed to look very classic!

Notice the real cotton patchwork quilt duvet with vintage lace edging.

Eight individual pillows all have lace and silk ribbon embellishments made to pamper.

The Louise bed comes fully dressed with a fitted sheet, matching flat sheet and a bed skirt that was created from a 1900's ladies night gown....all dressings are custom hand made of course! The head and foot boards are painted free-hand with purple flowers, green leaves and they are adorned with baby's breathe.

7 Days into Summer and Look............

For many of you, the kids are out of school and finding fun stuff to do. For me, it's back to my Blu Moon studio bench and I sure am having fun too! 

I've been creating new OOAK dolls and accessories like this delicate and precious carriage:

Royal Baby Pram

It's a 1/12 scale baby carriage that is perfect for that special baby in your doll house. Fashionable with a total touch of royal class in colors of red, purple and black with gold embellishments. Hand selected silk is used for all the bedding and I've garnished it with tiny silk bows and lace.

Then there is my latest doll Queen Mim The Summer Fairy...........feast  your eyes:

Queen Mim is dressed in mauve silk and lace with silk (my favorite) ribbon accents. I've sculpted roses on her bodice and applied them during the sculpting process for my total OOAK stylish look. Even her shoes ( I love shoes) have tiny roses sculpted on them. Of course, like all of my one of a kind original custom dolls she is fully poseable. Queen Mim has wings with 3D details, Swarovski crystals and AB glitter to enhance her magical look.

For more detailed pictures of my Royal Baby Pram and Queen Mim Check out my Etsy Shop. Along with the sun.........summer is my time to shine. Drop in for a nice cup of tea, relax and see for yourself why LoreleiBlu Miniatures is known the world over for art treasures you won't find anywhere else on the net.

Back with Beautiful Miniature Doll Beds

I sure am pleased to be back to doing what I love and do best.........creating OOAK miniature dolls and dollhouse furnishings that set the tone for making your treasured collection even more special!

My days out of the LoreleiBlu studio have given me time to re-charge and appreciate my family of friends and collectors the world over. And to remember how fortunate I am to have such a great supporting cast.

For years Olde World and Shabby Chic have been two favorite styles that move me and it's in those themes that I proudly present two of my latest dollhouse miniature hand crafted beds.

Anastasia - Olde World Bed

I created the Anastasia as a One Of A Kind (OOAK) totally hand painted 1/12th scale dollhouse bed. Painted in a black lacquer base with beautifully painted flowers and fine gold details. 

The Anastasia is dressed in rich silk and fine cotton fabrics, has antique handmade tatted lace on the duvet and features a real fur throw along with six lovely pillows. I've made them so you are free to rearrange and present the comfort and look you're going for. I've also added two beautiful bands of purple silk cord to embellish the base and enhance it's olde world charm. 

Now if Shabby Chic is your cup of tea.........feast your eyes on The Georgiana:

Georgiana -  A Shabby 4-Poster Chic Beauty

I started by painting the Georgiana a lovely sage green in crackle finish and then I distressed it to replicate wear. The customized headboard is hand painted with roses and a blue ribbon swag. I then overlaid a wash to give it the right aged patina of a very old and well loved piece of furniture. 

To achieve the Shabby Chic look I was going for I dressed it in a soft cotton duvet and sheets with a mix of antique and vintage lace. The throw I created at the foot of the bed is from a piece of original ladies handmade lace collar from the 1800's. It is made with silk thread and is as soft as a whisper! To complete the bed dressings there are 6 lovely pillows embellished with silk ribbon (complimenting the headboard), silk cord and antique lace.

Both beds are delicate beauties filled with creative flair and lovely details. They are perfect for your special miniature bedrooms, room box or cottage. 

I'm delighted to return and show you just a few of the many new projects that have been on the LoreleiBlu studio drawing board, one by one each will become reality this year. These two newest creations can be found looking for new homes in my Etsy Shop LoreleiBlu Miniatures along with a variety of fully poseable miniature dolls and other OOAK art treasures. My team invites you and your collector friends to stop in often, select your favorite pieces and make them part of your miniature worlds.

More Poseable OOAK Miniature Dolls Please!

Our world is off to a running start this year and I've been busy working on putting the finishing touches on my re-designed studio and my creative plan for all the new dolls and accessories I'll be creating in the weeks and months ahead.

Also during my brief hiatus we attended the CIMTA Annual Retail Dollhouse Miniature Show in Vegas and had a truly lovely time. Jeremy Gonzales and his team put on a grand show. One that allowed me to meet a number of fellow well-known and respected miniature dolls and accessories artists from as far away as Italy. This year's show added  the retail element to their already successful wholesale offerings. Combination of the two made for some very exciting presentations...well done CIMTA!

Taking this time to charge up my batteries and get back to basics designing more OOAK miniature creations, which are scheduled for completion shortly, has been heartwarming. To my many valued collectors all around the world I say thank you for your positive comments on my creations and for your valuable feedback on what miniature dolls and accessories you'd like to see added to my Etsy shop.

The Gang's all here and we've reserved a VIP pass for you to join us!

All in all I have a lot to be excited about this year and the whole LoreleiBlu team is looking forward to sending our OOAK creations to all parts of the globe. Enjoy stopping back to my Etsy Store often and please bring your friends with you so we can all enjoy getting to know each other better.

As always my thanks in advance for telling your friends about my shop filled with original miniature creations. 

Stop in and we'll share a nice cup of tea together!

What's a Buhgeeber, you ask!

Prior to stepping into the world of creating OOAK miniatures (5 inch dolls) I designed dolls in the 10 inch to 14 inch size. There were Fairies, Flower Sellers from England's days gone by, Angry Housewives and a number of other special dolls including a series of what I call "Buhgeebers.

It all started by luck....Buhgeebers are fun whimsical ladies and gents I created that are fearless inventors, have special features, enjoy a flair for drama, make one smile and border on the edge of silly-fantasy. I owe it all to my Husband who one day got spooked by me showing up at our back door un-announced and said "hi" just as he was going out that same door. It startled him and caused him to say "wife, you scared the buhgeebers out of me!" After a good laugh together (and a few other colorful words said by him that I won't repeat) my mind started on another tour of inventing...what would a Buhgeeber look like I wondered.

"What the heck say you, how will I recognize them?" Glad you asked, instead of telling you, let me introduce you.........voila: 

Meet Mr. Buhgeeber

Miss Buhgeeber

A Buhgeeber waiting for Godot 

Uncle Edgar

Uncle Edgar with Annabelle Lee

Uncle Charlie

Socially Hip Buhgeebers poolside

......and let us not forget our Senior Citizen Granny

I parted with a few early on but we liked them so much I decided to keep some of them around as friends who made us smile. They helped keep our focus on the lighter more adventurous side of life. Well with the election behind us let's re-focus back on fantasy that makes us laugh...or at least smile. So I've decided it's time to send a few of my little friends off to other parts of the world to do what they do best.........lighten the load for collectors who dare to dream, like to smile and enjoy thinking of a life filled with adventure and magical wonder.

Now keep in mind my Buhgeebers ARE NOT MINIATURE DOLL SIZE; they are larger art dolls, fully poseable at 10 TO 14 INCHES TALL (varies by the doll) and as always Certificate guaranteed as a one-of-a-kind original creation by me, LoreleiBlu. 

Take a good look a these wonderful characters above and move quickly if you want a Buhgeeber to show up on your doorstep before the New Year. They come from a very limited series and at $285 USD each, they won't be around very long! Some of those pictured above are gone and some others available are not all shown so just click to email me requesting which are up for adoption on this link: Buhgeebers up for adoption and I'll respond with pictures and availability promptly. 

And remember shipping for the USA and Canada is FREE through this month of November......it's a double win for my collectors. Visit my Etsy Shop, Buhgeebers and the world of Miniature Dolls too

Having said all that, I'm working on another surprise for a LoreleiBlu Black Friday that I'll let out of my creative bag by Thanksgiving so  stay tuned to my blog.
