I can’t tell you how much I value all the support you have given me over the years! I appreciate every one of you who has encouraged, recommended, engaged, trusted, and has been a loyal follower! 2024 was an incredible year with lots of firsts. First doll show, first competition, first time winning an award, first time attending a class, first time meeting so many wonderful artists face to face, and much more. With that being said, I decided to take 2025 in a little different direction.
I will finish the current customs on my schedule. However, I will not be taking any customs for the 2025 year. This year will be a year of personal growth. I want to have the ability to test my limits without the anxiety of deadlines and not having adequate time. I am so excited to get started and have so many plans to share. This year I’ll be branching into learning more about silicone painting, creating cuddle babies, miniatures, and eventually full-body silicone dolls. Don’t fret, I will still be making ready-to-ship art dolls and will have them available to adopt on the website as they are completed;)
For those of you who have been patiently waiting for a custom slot to open, you will not lose your spot in line. As soon as slots open back up, you will be the first to have an opportunity to book your custom:)
This year I’m thrilled to share, that I have partnered with Irresistables. I will be creating a series of tutorials to be used not only on our YouTube but Irresistables’s YouTube channel. These videos will walk you through step-by-step instructions on how to create a reborn art doll using their products. I am so honored to be asked to create something so helpful. Not just for our fans but, for those artists looking into the line and want to see the process start to finish. I’ll go through each of the mediums. How to create colors, depth, texture, and more. So if you haven’t already done so make sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel at: http://www.youtube.com/@AlzsNursery and Irresistables channel at: http://www.youtube.com/@irresistables2145 In addition to having Irresistables as one of our sponsors we will also be adding their paint line to the website in the coming year so keep an eye out!
If that isn’t exciting enough, I’ll be attending Susan Gibbs’s silicone art doll class at DOTW this summer! So much growth will be happening over the year! I can’t wait to dig in and get started!
I can thank you all enough for your continued support, encouragement, and dedication in helping Alz’s Nursery grow to what it is today! And, seeing all the progress to come!
Here’s to endless possibilities in 2025!
Cheers,
Ginger Kelly
