My doll and... a confession to make ;)

Well let me introduce you to my doll...

I bought her years ago in the Netherlands on the

Dollhouse show in Arnhem...

She is a porcelain doll

made by Henny Staring-Egberts

I don't remember who that cute red wig made...

First I couldn't stop thinking about how to transfer

her into an fairy...

But somehow all the ideas that I have about my fairy

did not go with this doll!

I see this doll more as a Gypsy woman, a friendly fortune teller 

who's traveling around the world together with some animals 

and living in a Gypsy trailer!

So that is gonna be her destiny...

and see... there pops up another project for the future! lol!

Problem that I have is...

I have this fairy girl in my head talking to me

I had her with me since I was a child,

allthough she left me for way too many years!

Cause she was so mad at me ( I grew up and so).

We talked about that issue for hours and I am very happy

that she decided to come back to me again in the summer of 2009.

We became even closer friends now, than when I was just a kid.

So to be honest with all of you...

She was the one who talked me into making her a dollhouse

(remember the glencroft 'shabby cottage' that I want to start to build)

That was actualy her all the time! Telling me how she would love

to live in a shabby fairy cottage,

how it has to be inside and out, the colours that she wants in every room 

and so on...

I agreed to start with making miniatures for her

I first wanted to keep my fairy as 'our little secret',

because I though that you guys would say that I had lost my mind

if I would tell you about my fairy...

But ever since I've been reading more of the other blogs

from our mini world...

I guess I can also be honest with you all ;) lol!

I am so glad that I am not the only adult out here

with an imaginary friend!! (yes that feels as a relieve! lol)

I do totaly understand the blog from Casey's minis

with little Tessie!

And I love E-beertje from Margriet.

I enjoy the stories from Nina and Lucie by Genevieve!

It's because of people like them, I have steped over my fears

and finaly found the courage not to be ashamed any longer 

about my little 'flutter bug'!

And make this confession to you by dragging her out of the closet.

She's still playing shy (be careful with her acting talent!)

That little fluttering 'bug' drives me crazy sometimes you know...

I really need to make her visible so I can look her

in her eyes when we talk about all our ideas :0)

And it is about time that she gets a real life!

That's why I am desperately on the search for

tutorials to make my fairy. 

I did found some great sites with lessons,

these last few days, left my other projects for it

because she couldn't stop crying

(demanding all attention even if it has to go with tears)

and I am trying to concentrate myself on her for the moment

so I can draw my ideas

and details about her on paper now...

Won't take too long before I will start to sculpture her I believe.

Well I will give it my best to create her, as I imagine her.

I did not see a doll yet who looks a lot like her!

I like it so much that she helps me with realising my dreams

(and hers) by telling me how she wants her house to be

(and me searching all night on the net how to accomplish that!)

Well anyway I believe it would make it more easy for me

to have her by my side

while I work on her house and the miniatures ;)

So... she should come out of her hyding place and show herself to me!

Don't you think?

I never had much experience with sculping...

but I am very curious how she will turn out to be!

I can tell you this much... she's very naughty (but nice)

So shy (or acting like it) that it makes her adorable cute

she's very friendly and she loves all living beings,

from deep down the bottom of her heart!

She needs flowers around her,

or she will get seriously depressed!

She's my cats best friend (and my cats best toy! lol)

She likes (demands) to get what she wants, no matter how!

Always telling what she thinks, if you like it or not.

She loves the beach and the sea (we often go there)

She always keep on tying to play tricks and games

to get it her way, but she never lies!

She is a bit of a pain in the butt tough ;)

like most fairies can be.

Guess we will find out in a while...

Does anyone of you have tips/links for me for 'Fairy'

or dolls tutorials??

That would be a great help ;)

Have a wonderful evening!

Warm hugs,
