Antique doll head with sacred heart. .'She's Broken... Hearted'

Tableaux Making dolls has been a way to use my love of fantasy and the human form. I am usually inspired by a painting or a book illustration. Inspiration may also come from a vessel, like a teacup or abandoned clock case, or a base (for example, crystals) but often it can be an antique

Have you heard or seen the Ever After High dolls yet?  They are a new doll collection created by Mattel.  Based on the animated series Ever Have High, the dolls are a little similar to the Monster High Dolls concept but this line will focus on characters inspired by fairy tales.   You can check out the official Ever After High Website HERE.   You can view the Ever After High animated series on their Youtube Channel HERE.   I have heard of them before but it wasn't until yesterday that I saw them for the first time in a store and now all I can say is that I AM ABSOLUTELY HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE WITH THEM! Each doll comes with a doll stand, a key-themed hairbrush and a bookmark telling their back story.  They are released in a box shaped like a book with a big spine. I think this new line of dolls has all the right ingredients to become the new toy crack fad.  The dolls are even more gorgeous looking in real life than in pictures!  I love everything about them: clothes, hairstyle, accessories and back story!  The price tag is moderately high but they are still much cheaper than other fashion dolls like Pullip or Dal.  I think they will appeal to children and collectors alike.   I have my eyes set on Ashlynn Ella & Hunter Huntsman in particular.  This box set comes with 2 dolls and they are both incredibly beautiful. I don't like boy dolls and it takes a lot to convince me to get one.  Even my Isul Lir did not really sway me like Hunter Hunstman did!  He looks so cool and he comes with very nice clothes and a great looking messenger bag.  Ashlynn Ella is very pretty!  I love her hair and she has such a sweet face.  She wears glass slippers and her purse shaped like a clock is fitting and original.    The Ever After Dolls are divided in two groups: Royals or Rebels.  Per this Wikipedia page: The Ever After High storyline is based upon the children of famous fairy tale characters attending the eponymous high school, who are destined to follow in their parents’ footsteps to keep their stories alive through generations, otherwise their stories will cease to exist. However, Raven Queen is unhappy with her destiny and wishes to write her own path. The school gets divided in ‘Royals or Rebels’ which is between those who know they will have a happily ever after and those with less favorable destinies or those who prefer the idea of writing their own destiny In this case, Ashlynn Ella is the daughter of Cinderella, a Royal, and she is secretly dating Hunter Huntsman, son of the Huntsman, a Rebel.  A SECRET ROMANCE!  She is expected to marry a prince, not a huntsman!  I love this!  Mattel, you clever thing! The other dolls from Ever After High are equally interesting and each of them comes with a different accessory.  I would totally buy them all if I had the money.  I can't comment on the show because I didn't watch it yet but now I am curious and will probably take a look. One might say it's just another collection of dolls with a fairy tale theme but I am more enthusiastic to buy a doll from this line than a princess Barbie doll because EAH dolls look younger and more their age than Barbie dolls who look more like an adult and because the EAH dolls have a more interesting back story with their conflict about their destiny and desire to follow their own path.  I would also choose an EAH doll over the La Dee Da dolls from the Fairy Tale Collection because the outfit and accessories seem better too. The addition of male dolls is a big plus as well!  The Barbie line does have prince dolls but I don't like them very much so EAH dolls are winning so far in my books.  I wonder how the other EAH male dolls will look! That's just a question of personal taste though so I don't know if Ever After High Dolls will appeal to everybody the same way but I think they will be a hit this Christmas!   I truly want to stay away from this new line of dolls because they seem highly addictive.  It will be hard.

I sell SO many clock cases! Sometimes I find them empty and sometimes I dismantle the clock to make it empty! I love repurposing clock cases.

I had always wanted to build a grandfather clock case and was given the incentive when a client gave me the a modern clock mechanism and a photocopy of a reproduction of an English Tall Case clock to follow. I had to increase the plan dimensions to fit the mechanism, ash wood was chosen and I ended up with 23 metres of approximately 200 x 25mm rough-sawn at an average length of 2.4 metres costing just under $300. This is not the ideal style of clock case for anything other than an antique clock mechanism. In modern clock mechanisms, the pendulum swing (which should always be tested) needs a straight-waisted trunk style of clock. However, this project has been done to the requirements.

Antique tall case clocks or grandfather clocks contain a number of common sections such as the hood, waist and the base.
