WINGS

A REALLY COOL DRESS

With the lightening flashing in the
Studio windows last night
Devon
finally got a dress

I saw my second water spout on the lake
another wild Friday night

calm sunny morning
waiting for wings

Lots of dollies

my newest creature

The quintessential Faerie
out of all the dolls I design

and soft suede corsets

DOLLS IN PRIMITIVE FORM

One of my favorite stages
of doll making
sanding
where the doll becomes
white velvet
the primitive state before the paint

as with my soft sculpture
no face no clothing
just
serenity

BE HAPPY PLAY WITH DOLLS

A GARDEN FAERIE NAMED LISEN

Lisen
is a Garden Faerie
most of the time
she likes to be naked

I made her a pretty little fairy outfit

I had a hard time getting her to wear it

until I promised to let her sit in the garden

the light was so pretty today
and there was a cool breeze

Lisen is part of my Mousefeathers Collection of Dolls
