Parade of Dolls

Splendour in all its decadence entreats me
& bids me to dream
Parading softly
In a garden of flowers


my very first attempt...eek! inspired by Miss Elizabeth of Pride & Prejudice :)



a doll inspired by my brother, a colossal giant of a mighty man, who is never seen without his bag. it has travelled with him almost as far as his journey has taken him, through wind, hail, sunshine & the afternoon glow. tucked inside & cherished are all his precious things ~ it is something of an ineffable phenomenon


the first doll my little sister made, so sweetly
she is my shadow :)


a glowing moment shared




the most reluctant one i made, yet it seems to be everybody's delight. it would be something though, to glide through crystal waters, scales shining in the sun, pink hair :) flowing majestically about you





a doll i made for someone so dear she's more sister than friend :) Half Maouri & Samoan, she is everything fabulous & glamorous!




a doll inspired by my other sister, from a photo i always thought needed to be painted. cats were her favourite little collectable pieces





for a real sweetheart






probably my favourite doll, inspired by my Mum. with her near black hair & azure eyes, i always thought her akin to Cleopatra :)
