I have been absent a very long time. A broken foot and a multitude of other perceived barriers have kept me away. But I am back, and with things to show you!
At long last, Caroline's Fairy has been completed. I had a terribly hard time getting her done when my dear friend, Diane, noticed I seemed not to be connected to this doll. Perhaps because I knew ahead of time that she would go away to live elsewhere. And also perhaps because I chose not to name her. Interesting thoughts. About 4 weeks ago, I sat on the couch, the fairy in hand, and all of a sudden the word/name Calliope popped into my head. "She's Calliope!" My family all gave me one of "those" looks. You know the one, the "by golly, the crazy artist really is crazy" looks. I was off and running and the fairy was born. I hope you enjoy her. She is off to live now with Caroline, who is about to celebrate her 1st birthday.
