The Court Rabbit blew his horn

"Welcome"

hosted by the lovely

Miss Vanessa

Alice awoke to the loud trumpet and her

Mad Life

Two pink-skinned Pixies arrived

to escort her to the

Faeries in Wonderland

Tea Party

But in order to go to the fairy party

Alice and her friends

will have to drink to

shrink!

so hold your nose and take a drink

Alice drank and became fairy size

the Pixies quickly gave her some proper

undergarments

They presented her with a beautiful necklace of crystals and silver

The madness continued

with decisions on a party dress

Alice choose the pretty blue dress

Alice danced around in her perfect little dress

the pixies giggled

We must go and get your friends

Alice met up with the Mad Hatter

who was also tiny and all dressed up

The White Rabbit looked dashing in his

tropical waist-coat

All dressed and ready they headed to the Tea Party

The Faeries waited patiently

All the faeries had arrived, dressed for tea

The Garden Twins were so excited

a beautiful table had been set, with tiny tea pots

Alice and her friends arrived

she curtsied for the Faeries

Alice danced with the Mad Hatter

She had some Tea

and danced with the White Rabbit

they were all having a wonderful time

While up above the Dragonflies Circled

Bug Fae Warriors

They all fluttered in closer

All the Faeries were scared

and Alice and her friends

huddled close together

The Bug Faes had brought the Dragonflies

to take Alice and her Friends to all

the Tea Parties

This was going to be so much fun

hold on tight

Alice and her Dragonfly flew off into the sky

with the Mad Hatter close behind

The White Rabbit stayed behind

Rabbit's don't fly!

and Kaerie Faerie and the March Hare

watched Alice and her friends

fly off to the Tea Parties

What a beautiful sunny afternoon for a Dragonfly ride!

time to dance

in my beautiful Butterfly Dress

Enjoy all the Tea Parties

come and dance with me!

A PAIR OF PIXIES

While having my morning tea, and smiling at my sweet orchids

a tap on the window

a pair of pink-skinned pixies

had arrived with a tiny wagon filled with tea pots

I invited them in to have a seat and some tea

the Pixies had brought several tiny tea pots

filled with surprises and magic

we must get ready for the big Tea Party Saturday

The Faeries in Wonderland

want everything to be perfect

we whispered and giggled

and told many secrets

we must be off

we have much to do

we will be back on Saturday

for the Mad Tea Party!

These two Pixies along with a collection of Tea Party Dolls

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT

Out my Kitchen window this morning

was this beautiful Orchid

This plant use to be in my kitchen

But I thought it was dying

So I put it outside

and it started to bloom

Who knew

But I am doing the Happy Dance in my Kitchen

My first successful plant I grew

and I didn't do anything!

Maybe that is the secret to growing plants in Florida

don't do anything

LOL

a sneak peek at what is happening in the Twigs Studio

getting ready for the

Mad Tea Party, June 26th at

a fanciful twist

SWEET LOLITAS

My fascination with ball jointed dolls

seems to be taking over all my creative thoughts

But I'm not ready to abandon soft sculpture for all that resin and relentless sanding

Although I have tried to avoid Japanese Fashion through the years

finding these designs to be a little to cartoonie for my style

The Sweet Lolita street style

is perfect for dolls

Back in the 80's I did design a collection of Art Wear

I called "Babies"

They were cute, teddi bear coats and all the bows and lace

But as I think back, it is pretty funny to think of a 6 ft. Baby doll

But this Lolita Style

is fun for dolls

Belled skirts, lots of lace, big hair bows

and let's not forget the bloomers and knee soxs

Here is my interpretation of Sweet Lolitas

Only my girls have wings to match their outfits

these dolls are now in my shop

MY FAVORITE PLACE

My Favorite Place

Life is funny

When I was younger, I would tell my friends, I would some day live in the country

near a farm, a reclusive artist

Far away from the big city!

and it all came true

I have a dream Studio, with lots of light that looks out on a farm

Which makes me a very happy reclusive artist

I spend 10 hours a day in my favorite place

making dolls, sewing, designing

today I moved my doll house into my space

if she is close by, I'll work on her renovation

come in

have a visit

working on a million projects at once

through the curtains is a huge screened room

that is great for watching birds

I have only been in this studio for five years

but the faerie population is growing

finally sat down and sewed a little

my new dolls are awaiting frilly dresses

just hanging out in

My Favorite Place

DAISEY AND THE FIELD FAERIES

Daisey is a very old wise Field Troll

I always know Summer has arrived

when Daisey comes into the yard

she brought two Petti-Coat Field Faeries

pretty lacy sisters

with sun-streaked hair

whispering and telling secrets

a wonderful afternoon

telling Country Stories

These two soft jointed dolls are now in my shop

Daisey was created 12 years ago from a pattern designed by

Ute and her Trolls
