playing with dolls

playing with dolls

takes on a whole new meaning

when you are 50 and not 5

from my happy bowl full

of these precious long forgotten dolls

i chose one that i could make as

the center of attention to this one of a kind necklace

 blue eyes just like mine were in order

so she fit the bill right away

of course a crown also had to be added

because everyone in my household

knows that i am

QUEEN

from her neck there are all sorts of pretties

an enameled charm that reads the number "25"

(an age i wish i could go back to cause i would do a lot of things differently)

an eiffel tower

a key with a crown on top

a fleur de lis

a miniature telephone

and a cute little chair

plus some cream colored fresh water pearls

and some rhinestone bling

i made some hand forged silver wire links

for the bulk of the necklace

dangling from the middle of each

are cute little cream colored fresh water pearls 

i love my whimsical piece

i know a lot of people think it's creepy

but i love these little porcelain doll heads

even more so

i love creating things with them

this way they are not forgotten little girls anymore

but girls that can live on and create new stories

and yes

that is the sun you see shining behind me

it too has been a long forgotten thing in this town

i am so glad it has decided to show up today!

happy wednesday!
