Portrait of Porcelain

I once aspired to paint portraits.
I still wishfully think of it.
I'm not very good, but
 I can "doctor" a photo
with gimp and pretend! :)

Here is the original photo.
Isn't this everybody's idea
of fun? ;)

Hey! Doll Face!

I've forgotten the name of this
My Scene character.

This is Barbie.  She has a Pivotal body.

This is my child size Cinderella.
The two Mattel are recent acquisitions.
All three are thrift store finds.

I just enjoy "playing" with their portraits. :)

A Little Green in the Face

Paris Portrait

Another version

Somehow, I still like this version.

And now to take
the medication
which was my excuse
for
playing
so late at night,
log off
and
simmer down.

Just Playing...

... with my Prego post, today. :)

Excuse Me, Please

I'm just enjoying some

of my own "stuff" 

from my files.

Play Time

Started out to relist some dolls...

so, of course, I dressed one.

Then I took a picture.
(Plus I got hungry for lunch.)

Well, you can see what happened!

Skooter

You Knew...





... that I...

... would have ...

...to play.

And...

...I haven't even finished the listing!

Playing While Working

OK, so I'm visiting my uncle with my Dad
and I took along this morning's
photos to see if there was anything
I could use in my Etsy shop.

I got messing about with the photos.

Aren't you surprised?

Sure, you are!

OK, It's an Illness!

And how about purple, brown or
maybe yellow!?
OK, back to listing.

Can't Help Myself?



Listing an item and just
"had" to play with this picture!



First Sunday of Advent

But, of course I did not leave well enough alone...

Oh, Come!  Oh, come, Immanuel!

At It, Again

I took this

from this.

This came from

this, as did the previous two.

There would have been more photos
with which to "mess,"
but the batteries I put in my son's
camera gave out.

The breeze from your relieved sigh,
reached me across the miles.

Coming Into Focus

Well, the title is a little dramatic,
because all that is coming
into focus is a desire to
do some doll blogging, again.

THIS IS IT!





Tomorrow being my "blog-iversary," this post
brings my attempt to post about dolls each day
for a year to a close.  There was one miss.
There were two stumbles, but I wrote a
"makeup post" for each of these little
holes in my path.

I am not finished with doll related blogging.
Having followers encourages me.
Getting comments encourages me.
The way that I feel when I hit on an
idea for a post encourages me.

So, have I been kept from depression
in this year?
Not entirely,
but blogging about
one of my "loves" has been a bright
spot in some gray-ish days.

Thank you for joining me.

See you soon.
