diva's and queens

A few more studio pic's.
I thought this was interesting with the textured glass shining through the shade. I love stained glass!

...they think I am....

...top shelf diva's...


...and Queen of the studio...
I don't remember how old I was when I got this Madame Alexander doll. I have always loved her. She is from the 50's and has pierced ears and seamed stockings (not panty hose) I love seamed stockings...I always though they were sexy and now I see the girls wearing them again on the dancing shows...yay! Oh, and she also has bendable elbows and knees. (and red hair...love it!)


....she needs a makeover...
I need to find a doll hospital.


...and of course...you know who traded in her party hat for a crown.


this is my new doll class for Fall.
She's a sweet punkin' doll.
Should I call her "punkinhead"?
That is what I called my daughter when she was a baby.
We all have big punkinheads in our family.
We call it the family big head.
Someone told me that is a good thing.
NOT when you go to buy hats.
...anyway...here is her closeup.

Happy Friday
&
ARTful weekend to all!

OMG...you are too, too funny with the pumpkin head thing!! And what a cute doll for class. How often do you teach?

Your Madame Alexander doll is lovely. I remember back when my daughter was born, I could not wait to get her a Madame Alexander doll...it was a baby doll with a little pink nightie and her name was Victoria. I loved the box it came it and the pink tissue. Sigh. We love our dollies, don't we??

I have been catching up on your posts...40 boxes covered with art...I am impressed.
My Mother has several Madame Alexander dolls...I wonder where she has them ? I have not seen them for years.
She is the doll lover in the family...I never liked dolls when I was little and growing up...go figure. I had many dolls because everyone thought I should love them.
They are probably laughing their heads of now...a dollmaker that did not like dolls...now I am making myself laugh.

Hi , I have been following your blog for about 4 months. I realized that I'm so amazed by your work that I always forget to leave a comment. You're blog is my absolute favorite that I check daily. So different, so unique.
