First, here are some WIP
images of my big conjoined twins.
The girls now have wild hair,
a sombre black dress
and striped stockings.
I'm trying a different method
of adding the legs, to
allow for more natural posing.
The big skirt helps to balance the heads.
They still need shoes.
One of them will get a pretty ruffled choker,
The other will have a ribbon in her hair.
So you can tell who is who...
Now, an invitation!
Vanessa is inviting us all
to the fabulous, glorious, curious
Mad Tea Party 2014
I'll be there!
Will you?
Oooow! I wonder if Vanessa knows what to expect lol Hortense is going to be so sniffy with these beauties stealing all the attention from the young men attending :D XXX
ReplyDeleteThere's going to be young men? No one told me! And thank you!
DeleteI'm not sure Miss Conjoined here will be attending, so I'm hoping to invite someone else. A White Rabbit, maybe, for Hortense to flirt with?
Another gorgeous pair! Love the prim dress and the striped stockings! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emma! I have to admit, I wish I has this dress. And those stockings.
DeleteNow these lovelies will jazz-up that affair! xoDebi
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debi! Maybe I should photograph them taking tea? I could do that. I'm working on a creepy dolls' tea set.
Deletelove them,xx
ReplyDeleteThank you! Next up should be a White Rabbit doll!
DeleteI LOVE them! I can't wait to see who drops in to your Tea party. I'll be joining in on that fun as well! See you then :0)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I don't think there two ladies are staying long enough to take tea with us, but there'll be someone else around, I'm sure. See you there!
DeleteWow...all I can say is Wow when I see how strangely beautiful your Miss Conjoined 'dolls' are progressing. I love how you are dressing 'them' and their hair-do's are beguiling. Just totally awesome!
ReplyDeleteI will be participating in the Mad Tea Party too! Fingers crossed that my computer is nice to me this time and doesn't decide to crash! Grrr! I hope not.
XXOO

Thank you very much Teresa! This is a new direction for me and it's one of the reasons I love commissions, as I learn so much!
DeleteI really hope you get to the Tea Party this year! I missed you last year. not sure what I'm doing yet, but I'm sure I'll have something. I'm thinking of making a White Rabbit in a Herald costume.
They're perfect Rhissanna <3
ReplyDeleteAww, thank you! I'm worried about the how shiny the faces are in the photograph, so that will have to be fixed, and they still need shoes and maybe a rose on the dress. But she's been a real sweetheart to make.
DeleteThey are soooo great! Just perfect. I love a little oddness, and weirdness! So these gals are just glorious. I can't wait for the Mad Tea Party, so glad you're in attendance ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jennifer! Hubby told me, these were my best dolls yet and that everyone will like the mixture of cute and creepy. He might be right! I'm thinking of making a White Rabbit for the Tea Party. Of course, he might be late...
DeletePhrases like "The big skirt helps to balance the heads" and the fact that you are a tremendously gifted artist are the things that keep me coming here and will do so for a very long time. They look precious, and seeing the progress of your creation process is such a gift.
ReplyDeleteAww. I thought you came here because I was good-lookin'. Oh well.
DeleteThank you! As for the phrasing, I try and write it as I see it, and I'm trying to make the kind of blog that I was looking for when I first started dollmaking, one that showed work in progress and talked about what was happening. i hoped that I wasn't the only one who liked to watch created pieces come together.
Your doll is amazing girl! I love the dress ;o) I love the hair! I love everything about them! You rock!!!!
ReplyDelete(Sorry I haven't e-mailed you back yet!)
Big Hugs and thanks for being you ;o)
Thank you so much, dearest Magic Love Crow. You know, you'd totally rock this dress, what with it being crow-coloured and all! Don't you worry about that email. Us arty types know how there's never enough time!
DeleteOh these girls are so hauntingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Tabitha! This is a new direction for me and I'm having so much fun with it!
DeleteThere's something about these girls that really speaks to me. It's probably their quiet beauty.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Jo! I hoped they'd look as happy and loving as any other set of twins, as if their conjoined-ness was a reflection of how they felt about each other.
DeleteOh these two are so very unique. I am always interested in the stories of the conjoined twins who survive surgery and even the heart breaking ones who don't. Many years ago when I was a kid my friend told me her grandmother had conjoined twins and a circus wanted to buy them. Oh how sad. I do not think they survived very long. Different times. But these unique little ladies look like they love each other very much as these twins always do.
