Debbie's best friend came in from Florida,  her daughter from Washington, and her Mom from Canada! All came to support her on Runway Night

They gave her a beautiful bouquet!   AND...

And Then!

When Her Friends and Family saw the Silent Auction Listing online...

 They bought the Universal Artemis Art Bra for Debbie!

To commemorate her Runway Experience!   So cool!

 

When computers first came out, the Dollmaker had a Mac Classic 2 upon which she played her first Video Game (in her lifetime: about five total)! The Game was called Uncharted Waters. The time frame was the 1500's and the Dollmaker's Character was Captain Violet! She was from Portugal and became quite the Legend in her own time,  battling Pirates and discovering the New World..  Whenever she Won, the Game even offered her the Princess's hand in marriage!   So, whenever Daughter Shannon wanted to play a role-playing type game and everyone had to pick names for themselves, (Shannon was usually "Diamond" or "Crystal" or "Rose")  The Dollmaker was always Captain Violet!   ~ the beginning of a Wall Art Series ~

The NewTrade: Joyce was immediately drawn to a small doll whose purple streaked hair quite matched her own!  (Just sayin that their Eyes are pretty close too!) (and the mischievous grin...)   And the Dollmaker instantly fell in love  with Mr. Foxy Loxy!!!   Altogether a very satisfying Trade!!!

...and for those who so often lovingly inquire  about the Dollmaker's Darling Daughter: Shannon is doing splendidly! This fall she will receive her degree in Horticulture and is meanwhile working during the summer at Profound Microfarms growing vegetables using Hydroponics  which is a method of growing plants without soil by instead using mineral nutrient solutions in a water solvent.   Her proud Dollmaker Mom got to visit her at work and afterwards, made this Slideshow:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Do you remember

the summer of the rain...

You must let everything fall that wants to fall."

 

-Karen Fiser

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Adventures were embarked upon - with Captain (Brother) Paul...

who journeyed from Florida by boat across the Gulf of Mexico

 to Texas

carrying a cargo of snail shells and miniature pineapples

which he distributed to souls in need of them along the way...

 

 

luck was mostly with him on I-35, bless his heart, after which

he traversed the State of Texas on astonishingly excellent Back Roads with hardly any road kill

 all the while developing a deeper appreciation for

Texas Cretaceous Fossils, Advanced Hydroponics, cane-chairs,

the dietary preferences of rogue tadpoles, the membranes of duck eggs and

 

 

 at the pinnacle of his Excursion, he found - Amazing Home Cookin - a La-sagna!

featuring Herbs from a flourishing Garden of friendship and love

 

 

 

Welcomed by one and all - so was the visit of Captain Paul.

 

 

Bon Voyage Brother!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My dear, your soul is so rich and complicated,
so many-splendored and mysterious,
so fertile and generous.
I'm amazed you can hold all the poignant marvels you contain.

Isn't it sometimes a struggle for you to avoid spilling over?
Like a river at high tide during heavy rains?

And yet every so often there come moments when you go blank;
when your dense, luxuriant wonders go missing.
That's OK! It's all part of the Great Mystery.
You need these fallow phases.

And if the present time might be such a time-
here's a fragment of a poem by Cecilia Woloch
to temporarily use as your motto:

"I have nothing to offer you now save my own wild emptiness."
