A Dollmakers Journey

I never really know what I'm doing until
it's done.
What I mean is regardless of how clear my
origional vision is, the end result can
easily be something totally different.

Like yesterday, this doll started out
as Marie Antoinette...
then my mind started to wander.
last weekend my husband and I went out
to dinner. Like most peopl e these days, we
don't go out that often. I was so sad
to see how many of our favorite little
places were out of business!!
Then yesterday running errands, I started counting all the little places around town
with signs saying " everything must go"

Needless to say, I came home with a
very clear idea...
I think we could ALL use a
Fairy Godmother these days!! It was almost
like she designed herself...I just did as she
asked.

I'm looking forward to better days
for all...

Hello Fairy Godmother !!!!

I wish I was at the beach!!

It's been soooo hot!!
Guess it's that time of year, but I always forget!
I don't know about any of you out there in blogland, but
my brain just doesn't function that well once it gets
over 100!! Well, that's the excuse for this week!

I hope everyone is doing well this week...
stay cool!!

A bit distracted !

I really should have been doing other
things when I started this little painting!
The little 8x10 canvas just sat for months...
blank and sad!
As for myself, I've been on a Cinderella kick.
Can't say why...these things just happen !

So, instead of doing what I was supposed to
do, I started this!
It isn't perfect...buildings are hard for me, but
I had fun.
And you know what? In the end of the day,
life went on. ..
and I had fun painting my castle !

Finished !!

Here is is...just finished it last night!!
Sorry, it's a bit fuzzy.
I was hopping around with happiness...
This piece was soooo much fun.
It's probably a really good thing my dogs
can't talk. They'd have a blast telling
everyone how their Mom talks to herself
while she works on projects, then dances
around when they're done !!
Oh well !

I hope you all you Cinderella fans enjoy
my little painting as much as I
enjoyed sharing it !!

My favorite Part !!

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!!

You know the saying about the apple not
falling far from the tree ?
Well " my tree " sent me this watercolor...
This was done by my Mom, Marilyn.
So now you all know where I get my
artsy ways!!!
I was so proud and happy that she
was inspired my my Mermaids to design
her own version.
She mentioned in her note that the eyes
were round because fish have round eyes!
The coral wreath in ther hair is
really awsome!!! Bravo!!!
I'm posting this for 2 reasons...
I'm so proud of her talent, and because
I want her to do more!!

Have a wonderful day!!
And....thanks Mom, for everything!!

A box for a Princess

Been in the mood to dabble... could be
the crazy heat !
Anyway, as I played with colors, pulled
out some of my boxes of "treasures"
this box started to take shape.
Well, it didn't take shape right away...
there's a few other designs under that
crown!!
I'm pleased with how it turned out...
And one never knows, there could be
a Princess out there in Blogland
wishing she had a box to put
her Princess stuff in !
I could be on to something !

Jen

Look inside !!
