New doll, with a Victorian edge...

Baudette knew what she wanted, which made this doll a joy to work on... I was a bit slow with getting her hair right though!
This was her final hair do of three :O)

second do ~

first do ~

It's amazing how hair can alter the appearance of an art doll.

I didn't get my dolls finished in time for Vanessa's mad tea party, but there are so many great blogs to visit ~ HERE ~

My poor fella Texas

has a mysterious illness....
He has had every test under the sun, & still has dramatic weight loss for no apparent reason.  He doesn't appear ill, just skin & bone...that can't be right eh?

And blogger?  bugger blogger, it's still playing up....I keep getting ~

Mad tea party and doll giveaway raffle.......

I've neglected my blog and my blogland friends lately, but now I'm on a roll.... A Fanciful Twists annual Mad Tea Party is on the agenda.... 26th June to be precise.  So, I thought I would combine this with my two doll giveaway/raffle.  The two dolls I am going to make will be going to their....

very own Fairgound Carousal Tea party.  Each doll will have their very own carousel horse as part of the raffle.

I thought it was rather apt, considering the money raised will be going to our local animal shelter.  

I'll be adding raffle tickets to my Etsy shop, and maybe a paypal button on my blog, if I can figure that out!  If this isn't legal, I will see what our animal shelter can come up with!

The chance to win one of two dolls, each with a carousel horse, will cost just $2.... all of which will go to the shelter.

Watch this space folks...I'm counting on you all :O)

~UPDATE~

Texas raffle laws... what a blooming nightmare!   ok, latest plan is ~ I shall make some ACEO cards (Art Cards Editions and Originals) mini artist trading cards, and sell those instead... each card will be numbered and those numbers will go into the draw.  I will even send them out, so you will not only get chance to win one of two dolls, each with a carousel horse, you'll actually receive a trading card.  The card will be an image from the fairground carousel mad tea party.  (better get practicing the camera skills eh!)

How's that grab ya?
