I love making dolls. I love they way they take on their own lives, and create themselves over time, sometimes with little care for what I wanted them to be. I like the way that one thought or phrase can spark an idea, and set the plan on a new course. All of that is exactly just what happened when I enrolled in
Marilyn Radzat's online workshop, "The Art of Balance". I found it not quite so economical to use the suggested supplies, so I went with a more obtainable mug, and let the piece evolve from there.
After many months of working on it sporadically, the doll is finished. That's right, a real finished project! For a while I hated her. I felt I resigned myself to the coffee cup for lack of a better idea. Sure, it works, but I don't like coffee. How do I create something about coffee when I don't even have a caffeine habit. A caffeine habit. Habit. Humm.... I can work with that. Introducing the Caffeine Habit (and her companion sugar sprite).
