DOLL DREAMS

As a Artist I often dream of Art Work before I create it
but I have not had a dream of dolls in a long time
Before dawn I awoke and started drawing
and cutting and sewing
I was obsessed!

For months I have tried to stay away from Soft Sculpture
almost 40 years of this kind of art has taken a toll on my hands.
But I am having a hard time putting down the needle
I dreamed of a soft rag doll, almost completely sewed on the machine
the stuffing is very soft and almost floppy

and this is what happened
a sweet little fairy
with a cartooned face
best part my hands don't hurt!

She reminds me of the rag dolls I had as a child
always my favorites
they could be hugged,
carried around,
taken to bed to hear stories

and they would not break

a touchable little fairy doll
that a child could play with

created from fuzzy PJ knit
with cotton fairy frost wings

fat yarn hair
and a removable dress
because faeries like to dance
naked!

Perfect for Valentines Day
I will put several in my shop
this month

BE HAPPY PLAY WITH DOLLS

FIRST BALL JOINTED DOLL OF 2012

2012
came in quietly
beautiful warm weather
everyone went to the
Beach or Disney
which left me lots of free time off
from work
to create
Robin
my 1st BJD of 2012

pale pink skin
and dark blue eyes

dressed in a story-book outfit
like Peter Pan

pretty little Wood-land Fae

Robin is in my shop

soft dolls

DOLL HOUSE STORIES

THE FAIRY INN ON THE GROVE
Over the Holidays
I finished
fairy-izing my little doll house
the outside is just the way I envisioned it

moss and ivy
Daisy the Field Troll sit up top
and the Dragon guards the other
peak
actually it keeps my monkey cats from
climbing on the roof

all the little soft fairies on the outside
and the Forest Witch
Glennlinda caught a naughty Sprite
on his way to the Inn to cause trouble

a twig tower, where a nest keeper
watches over new eggs

THE FAIRY INN ON THE GROVE

As the cold winds blow up North
the Faeries start traveling South
nestled in an old abandoned orange grove
the little house
has become
The Fairy Inn

looking for a cozy place to nap

the Merfaerie lounged in the
petal bowl filled with morning dew and rose petals

Dandelion Kitty sat watch
on the staircase


after her bath
her pink curls dried

a happy dance

sweet fairy kisses for the baby

all these tiny dolls are in my shop

CHRISTMAS SKY


Central Florida
Looking over the farmland
a
Christmas sunset
wish I could
bottle these colors

a pink sky tonight
is a
Sailor's delight
