4th spirit doll story (i think)

This spirit doll's dress reminds me of looking down from an airplane window at landscapes.  it could be urban rooftops or a field of tulips in holland.  the purple "scarf" was clipped from a cherished item that no longer functions in its original form.  i found the blue button in a relative's sewing box.  i am so lucky to have a bountiful garden, and this spirit doll is posing in front of some lovely peonies.

the goddess

this spirit doll is definitely a goddess.  her crimson velvet dress fabric came from a historic home on my town's main street.  the sparkly hat is from a costume designer and former ballerina i met in key west.  my french fairy godmother sylvie, who lives in nyc, sent the mesh fabric i used to overlay the velvet.  she is posing in front of a bloodroot leaf.

passion

women and their shoes...an undeniable attraction.  something i love as much as dollmaking is illustration, and this fabric reminds me of something i would draw.  the glamorous faux fur collar is snipped from a hat i found at a yard sale one weekend.  the bright red button is from a collection i have that seems to magically replenish itself.
