Dolls and Ceramics: Pukifee and Bunny Bowl

It was about time my little Fairyland Pukifee came out of the cupboard to take some photos. She is a darling ball-jointed doll with an amazing faceup by Viridian House. Her attire is largely AI BJD pieces. I find they fit pretty well and are good quality. Her wig is from a Liv doll.

The pot is a part of my bunny series — I combine old slip-casting molds with hand-built and/or wheel-thrown pieces. This little rabbit mold is from Riverview Molds and is labeled #332. I liked the bunny pose and thought it was great to have the creatures push their feet again the bowl. The bunny eyes are delicately painted with underglaze. The green and blue glazes are a mix, largely of recycled glaze from the studio spray booth.

There are more images of the bowl and doll on my Instagram account.

Dolls and Ceramics: Momoko, Picco Neemo, and Bunny Bowl

This bowl was my first prototype using the bunny slip-casting mold to make rabbits as feet for a wheel-thrown bowl. I think it turned out pretty well. The bunny eyes are delicately painted with underglaze. The greenish glaze on the rim of the bowl is the recycled glaze from the spray booth at the studio. It ended up being a nice shade of green this time around.

The dolls pictured are Momoko (taller) and Picco Neemo (smaller). I can not recall too much about the details of each doll. I picked up most of the pieces from IFDC (International Fashion Doll Convention) years ago and some details were lost in the shopping fun. I remember the Momoko is rerooted with that awesome pastel hair. Picco Neemo was from the Azone table in the sales room at IFDC. I sure miss that convention.

Dolls and Ceramics: Vintage Skipper and The Bunny Bowl

A friend commissioned a challenge — a large serving bowl with cute bunnies around the edges. This is a part of my new ceramic series that combines vessels with objects from old slip-casting molds. I also made a Medusa pot in the same fashion. I picked up a couple bunny molds a few months ago and started using them just in time for Easter.

Typically, my ceramic work is pretty small. It was a nervous task to take on a big bowl. The bowl is a slab laid into a plaster mold. I slip-casted six bunnies and attached them to the bowl. After some careful drying of the bunny bowl, I added eyes with underglaze and bisqued the piece. I added a clear glaze and called it good. It’s a tad wobbly, but it is pretty decent for my first large prototype in this series.

The doll pictured is a vintage Skipper in a random bunny costume that, I think, was originally intended for a BJD. She’s wearing Momoko boots.
