Hello Dearlings, It has been a while and I hope you are all well, changing into your autumnal dress if you are, like me, in the Northern Spheres, and into your spring gear, if you are in the Southern Spheres. I wanted to let you know about the upcoming Art Doll show at Cactus Gallery in LA, CA, curated by Anima ex Manus Art Dolls (Ioanna Tsouka) and Sandra Mastroianni. The theme for this group show is Folk Tales, and each dollmaker has taken it upon her to tell a tale of their choosing, through the art of the doll….

Summer is in full swing, and the three witch sisters Peregrine, Floreal and Sage have collected their herbs in the glorious sun drenched fields. Peregrine, the oldest of the three, is often referred to as La Gardienne Des Âmes Perdues (The Keeper of Lost Souls) This is due to the fact that she always collects little keepsakes wherever she goes. She calls them her ‘little lost souls’ They are memories of places and people lost in distant histories of an older world to which these things once belonged. She stitches them all onto her skirt so they will never be…

Hello lovelies, I hope you are all well and fine and safe I made this doll sculpture with mixed media and called her “The Stay at Home Fairy” Written a poem to go with it too “The Poem of The Stay at Home Fairy” Dream little house, dream of open field and bird filled sky, where cloud shadows chase the sunlight dancing O’er the roofs they’re passing by Two turtledoves romancing The smell of promise a budding flower, for each hour the memory of people dancing And whilst outside the cloaked man lurks and creeps invisibly To catch my breath…

The Lovely Chimney Ghost Deep inside the Old Green Woods By the ancient pine Stands a solitary house its structure built so fine With clay and straw and stone ‘T was built by hands long gone Withstood the test of time This house so small and strong ‘T is said back in the day, children went to play But now the sun has set ‘T is the playground of the dead From the chimney every night She rises up like smoke Her face so pale, her dress so white Quite the fright she does evoke! Yet I do not fear…

  Dear ones, I hope you and yours are well and safe as can be, during these strange and uncertain times. I am finding it hard to master the right words, but find comfort and meaning in painting. This painting called The Dream is inspired by a few words from one of my favorite books “Frankenstein” by Mary W. Shelley which goes as follows “My Life appeared to me as a Dream, I sometimes doubted if indeed it were all true” This painting is here for you to download at high resolution, at 18×24″ so you can print it out…

As the year comes to a close, many of us are at it again… New Year’s resolutions!… Big ideas come to us, and in thought they seem perfect and we will become better versions of ourselves once we have achieved the goals we have planned for us. It got me thinking about having dreams and setting goals, and the steps we need take to achieve them, or, the steps we fail to take because we feel overwhelmed by the spectacular end results we see in our mind’s eye, and thus often failing to achieve our dreams. Worst even, we never…

This is the little tale of a special Fairy who on the longest night of the year, does her beautiful magic. When the humans have laid their heads on their pillows, and the animals roam the woodlands for prey, The Bellhouse Fairy takes her big golden bell and flies over the houses in search for one lucky home. Each year she will pick one house, yet it is not known in which way she chooses it. But when she has chosen one, the quiet listeners among us may hear her billowing skirt covered in smaller bells, ring gently in the…
