I hope you all enjoyed the frivolity of my Boybles. They were a lot of work for their size, but such cute little fellas ya can’t help but smile.

I’d like to congratulate the winning bidders in the charity auctions from last night- Michelle, Nat and Deb! They’ll be on their way to you shortly, and I hope you’ll love them as much as I do ☺️ The auctions combined to raise $120.01 for Beyond Blue, and while I can’t help but wish it was more, I’ll still be grateful to donate that to such a worthy cause. (Once the eBay sales have trickled over and I make the payment, I’ll post the record here)

My head is still reeling somewhat at the wonderful reactions these Boybles received. Sometimes your enthusiasms blow me away.

I’m undecided if I’ll do the Boybles again in 2020, but if it’s something you definitely want, leave a comment below, and you may twist my arm.

Anyway, with the exception of the last two, last minute orders, we’re done, so Merry Xmas all. I hope you can spend it with good people. If not, I hope you can treat yourself to something nice.

Have a truly Georgeous festive time gang!

Love from this doll to all of you x

Silly season is well and truly upon us. I hope you’re all having a nice time of it ☺️🎄

Next year is shaping up to be a huge one for this old doll, but because of that, I’m doing some forward planning, and I’m keen to avoid the unexpected last minute scramble of this years Boyble shenanigans.

SO! *If* I was to do any Xmas ornaments in 2020, which would you want to see?

A. Modern round Boybles

B. Santa hat ornaments

C. 80’s round Boybles

D. Santa hat brooches

E. Other…? (Feel free to add your suggestions)

In case you hadn’t seen via FB or Insta, I’m doing a limited run of Boy George Doll Santa hat brooches. Hand cast, hand painted, red glitter hat. $15AUD +p&h

Today (Wednesday 11th December) is the last day this decade I’ll be taking orders for them so they stand the best chance of reaching you before Xmas!

I may do another run next year, then again, I may not. So if you want one, best not dilly-dally ☺️

Several of you have asked to see videos of my studio workings. It’s not really my thing, but early last week I thought I’d give it a crack. There’s no chit-chat or instruction as I’m far too self conscious for that, but I did forget about the video toward the end, enough to find myself humming away, so apologies 😆

It’s taken me a while to successfully upload the vid, but the previous weekend had been rainy and cold here, and resin being a fickle mistress doesn’t like cold or humidity, so the successful casting rate was frustratingly low. So I’d had some work to catch up on, which was why I was casting overnight. And I thought it would be the perfect chance for folks to see why it takes so long to produce hand made items. Quite simply, hand crafting takes time.

There are approximately five stages to these finished Xmas ornaments – 1. Design & sculpting. 2. Making moulds. 3. Casting. 4. Painting and trim. 5.packaging. This video focussed on the casting.

You should know this is not going to be an exciting video. I sped up/condensed the tedious turning part of the process/video, which – aside from making the trucks rumbling past on the freeway sound like race cars – shaved over 25+mins off the overall 45+mins time the process usually takes, and it’s still not exciting by any stretch, but if you need a snooze, this may just do the trick.

☺️😆

Anyway, ta-da.
