drawing | paper doll drama

·
besides thinking up a doll's skirt full of treasures and symbolism {where'd that come from?}, i've been musing over what friend maggie suggested a few months ago. as a matter of fact, the advice came from her 86-year old mum: 
·
"if i can't find me my man, i should seriously consider baking me one". 
·
{image: as seen here.}
·
·
bearing in mind that in case my intentions go t*ts up, then i could always turn to the original baker, the one that gingerly got away and into welsh village life, rolling himself into a crisp of brit humour. just a thought, right?

paper dolls this weekend, via fairy yellow bug queen.

cheers, norma. i feel like i've been to the ball and back.

    'keep the doll away from direct sunlight, moisture and extreme temperatures' hihi...wonder what kind of influence these would have on Mr. Darcy

    Nadine! Who knew you had such shapely legs under that skirt! I guess it is from all of that running you do! I love her lacy edge and the outline of buttons! Wonderful magic visual!! I love where your brush strokes have taken you (and us)...that great background and skirt fabric pattern are just punchy! I am dreaming of eating savory baked men that a great old witch aunt has baked for me; and then topping it off with a warm lemon meringue pie that a crusty old friend has helped me bake. In these dreams I am in calorie-heaven! *smiles* Norma
