Alices.

This is  the progress
I've made with my pair of Alices.



I'm just waiting for
low-humidity weather
to seal the paint work.


The wigs have been
dyed yellow
with a kind of
ombre effect.


The hands fit together!
I'm so pleased!


And
Daydreaming Alice
has her striped stockings.


She also has a big first for me!
I've finally worked out how
to paint the waterline,
the inner edge of the lower eyelid.

Yay me!


They're trying on their drawers,
and they're going to have
little cotton chemises
to wear under their dresses.

  3. They are just like a pair of twins: look alike but each has her own character.

  4. RHISSANNA! I JUST SAW YOUR SELFIE! Beautiful girl are you!

    Thank you so much for coming by today; it was very hard to decide to no longer do weekly blog posts, but only twice a month. Like anything else, my writing goals are changing and with that change comes the shifting of time management. But the blog world is more than just posting blogs. To me, it is a community of individuals with whom I share a common bond to create. I love visiting you all and embracing your arts. Your work is stellar, and your Alices are of superior design and quality! Enjoy as we settle into cooler days and imagination! Anita

  12. As Magaly says, I too could stare at them for hours. Stunning.

    I would love to see them play out a story for a few Halloween hops this year!
