My Funny Valentine.....

 My funny Valentine.....

Sweet comic Valentine!

You make me smile,

with my heart.

Your looks are laughable...

Unphotographable.

But you're my favorite

work of art!

Ah Jacques, my funny Valentine, you finally found yourself! After sitting around for years waiting to become the real you, your creator was inspired by your winsome and melancholy look to dress you to play a fool for love. The little Valentine you carry must be a subtle way of asking for my heart, but alas, my heart belongs to another, so search you must, for that special someone who will cherish and love you. So on to ebay you go, to see who will be that sweetheart you look for. I know you will find this special someone, just keep on doing what you are doing....

Tonight's movie special wips.....

Sometimes I start a project, just to see if I can do it, and then it sits there unfinished like a story waiting to be written. Such is the case with the doll you see to the left. I created the head about 3 years ago, when I first started sculpting. I antiqued and crackled him to give him that aged look, and there he sat, no body, no limbs, no clothes....months went by and I would look at him and try to envision him with a Little Lord Fauntleroy style suit, or perhaps a little boy in bibs, and I just couldn't quite get inspired. He has a somewhat forlorn look to him, and although I know I had something in mind when I first started on him, apparently it didn't quite make the grade because I can't even remember what I had planned originally. Valentines Day has really inspired me this year, so much so that I can see this little man pining away for his lost love perhaps..... the rest of the story will be shared when he is finished....

So I had so much fun watching Ever After last night and working on my little fool that I decided to continue with him and an ornament while watching another movie tonight. What to watch is the dilemma hmmmmmm... Shadowlands? Maybe, but then there's The Other Side of Heaven, or perhaps The Shop Around the Corner, or maybe Silas Marner.... any way I go I can't lose....hope you're having a great weekend....taa taa!

Queen of Hearts Doll

 A new Queen of Hearts to start the new year off right. She's looking for a new kingdom to reign in as she has grown bored with her current location.

 She's asked her personal maid to get out her best gown, complete with dotted swiss, embroidered flowers, and layers of sheer tulle under skirt.

 Many of her elements are hand created, with careful attention to detail. We wouldn't want to make the Queen mad you know.

Stop by my ebay listing to learn more about her. Search AHA art.
