A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM


ADO's new Challenge Shakespeare, is so exciting I had to get started right away.

My favorite play A Midsummer Night's Dream, has lots of great characters and faeries, I started two characters Queen of the Fairies, Titania and Bottom the Weaver, with the head of the donkey.
The story is Puck casts a spell on Bottom to give him a head of a donkey, and Titania while sleeping has magic love drops placed on her eyelids, when she awakened,
she will fall in love with whoever she sees first, which as luck would have it," it is Bottom," who ends up being lavishly kept by the Queen.
My two sculptures are cotton knit and the bodies have been sculpted, the faces are blank, ready for sculpting and painting and a donkey head must be fashioned out of cloth.

More pictures to come as they progress.
Art Dolls Only is a great new club of very talented Art Doll artists, group chats, forums, blogs

My studio Kitty Sailfish is feeling better, and is very quiet, she has stopped singing "Someday my Prince will come" YAY she will be off to the vet this week for a little nip and tuck.

VALENTINE'S DAY IS COMING, I FEEL THE CHOCOLATE MONSTER APPROCHING

It has been a while since my last post, I've been busy riding the GYPSY CARAVAN, the OWOH event had kept me intrigued with wonderful new blogs to read, and I have met and seen incredible artists along this fascinating journey. A big thank you goes out to Lisa Oceandreamer, for hosting of this spectacular event. I joined this group of Art Doll makers, ADO Art Dolls Only. This is a amazing group of artists. Members of this club enjoy forums, chats, discussions, challenges, click on the ADO badge and check it out!
Now back to Valentine merriment and Chocolate monsters! I've been trying to work, I added new dolls to my Etsy site, Sprite Faeries, colorful spindly faeries that tumble around the house, sprinkling rose petals. But the Spice Devil Girls have been running rampant through my studio, spilling pins on the floor, pulling the Kitty's tail, and hiding my tiny gold scissors. Little stinkers these devils, dancing and laughing, party central seems to be here. But not even these little Divas can spoil this week, for I will have my very first Etsy Showcase, Dolls and Miniatures, Thursday Feb. 5th "it is so exciting"

So dance the Can Can Spice girls as tiny gold winged Angels watch, clap and sing! Lets celebrate and have a wonderful time, break out the chocolate!
Except for this one little naughty Spice Devil who is the biggest trouble maker of all!
So off you go to someone else's house to cause mischief.
