The Woman's Conference
An Annual event hosted each year in a different city
This year the Conference was held in the Embassy Suite Hotel in San Marcos, Texas
The Dollmaker kept expecting to see Twins standing in the Hallways...
Nevertheless...
the Wee Peeple Dolls were Heartily Welcomed Back to the Woman's Conference
after a 2-year hiatus
and the Dollmaker had a really good time.
A whirlwind visit to Sherwood Forest Faire with friends
on a Cold Winter's Day
...where an Art Show was going on...
featuring really exceptionally fine art...
nevertheless, as usual, The Dollmaker fell in love with a rock.
Hey, the Rockman Artist was from Alaska, so these were Alaskan Rocks!
His idea was to accommodate a few small Wildflowers...
by making Stones into VASES!
and of course the Dollmaker had the matching stones at home!
(artist: Conrad Mentjes from Anchorage, Alaska)
What Art Exhibit? What Wildflowers?
What? When Holey Stones abound!
Is there anything else around?
uh-oh.
she's waxing poetic
The Dollmaker had to be extracted
from a nearby streambed where she would have interacted
for hours with the Spirits of Stones, entirely distracted...
What can she say... she just reacted!
Bliss is a box of Hoop Earrings and a collection of Holey Stones!
The Dollmaker thanks Alda and Olias
for the most hoop earrings she has ever seen in one place in her entire life!
Back at home... a fervent Moment of Georgia O'Keefe madness...
Winter snow melts to Irises
The Sophie's Dragon Tree
also a Wild Thing
flaunts huge ball-gown blooms..
The Dance of another Spring!
a first time for everything... the Dollmaker's first
Tulips
Interestingly, Tulip Petals are also known to be edible!
Painting the character directly onto the fabric...
while similar to improv theater,
just might have slightly more than the usual cast of colorful
in residence... (documented by "Florida genre" novelists Carl Hiaasen, Tim Dorsey
and John D. MacDonald to name a few)
So...
OUR story starts with these two
Owl Doll Constructions
purchased online and shipped to Mary Kay in... uh-oh ... Florida...
where it would be the nature of the beast that these Owls would attract the attention of
a non-conventional Resident, neighbor and dear friend of Mary Kay...
The SeaCrest Bird Lady!
Flaming red hair, deeply tanned, dark sunglasses,
an incredibly huge flashy Parrot perched jauntily upon her shoulder
ambulating along the shoreline at an unhurried pace
the sublime sunset at her back and a party just ahead...
The SeaCrest Bird Lady
wanted this scenario captured in a Doll.
The Dollmaker requested photos of the infamous avian accomplice..
When the Dollmaker met {the photos of}
Rio... This Splendid red Macaw...
as much as she admired his Grand Birdliness
she knew right away this wasn't happening.
Nope... this Dollmaker does not make Parrots!!!
the SeaCrest Bird Lady
persisted
So, it was decided that if the SeaCrest BirdLady
could come up with a small parrot which
would fit on the shoulder of a doll,
the Dollmaker would consider making the doll.
|
Of course, being a Parrot Person, the SeaCrest BirdLady happened to have a small parrot....
But the Dollmaker nixed it. cute, but the beak wasn't right... |
the SeaCrest BirdLady then went to ETSY,
searching for FELTED Parrots!!
FELTED Parrots, eh?
WELL, now.
Doesn't the Dollmaker know someone who does that sort of thing...
doesn't she know the
QUEEN of Felted Critters???
So, as usual, Joyce was crazy-busy but Still, she liked the idea of the
Parrot on the shoulder of a Doll...
So... in the middle of getting ready for a show,
She perused through the SeaCrest Bird Lady Photos and
also pictures of parrot skeletons
and before too long, Joyce was twisting wire, wrapping wool and
Voila!
She Nailed the Parrot!
She even gave him adjustable claws- so he can actually perch
on the SeaCrest Bird Lady Doll's shoulder...
So now all the Dollmaker needs to do is make the
the SeaCrest Bird Lady Doll....
The first sale
