Dollies on a journey part deux

This is my doll for the Eager Eagles TDP team. I had so much fun last year, that I entered two teams this year. I have to say the hardest part is the journal!! I am not into book making or anything, and most people send beautiful journals along with their doll. Sorry guys, mine is not a pretty book LoL
 OK, this is Violetta's story:

From the time she was a piece of cloth on the craft table, Violetta dreamed with art. She “grew up” between paint tubes, fabric swatches and art books.  She is quite an art lover!
Her favorite book is one of all the famous Madonna paintings from great classic artists and she loves all those mantles, soft fabric, angels and long hair.

For now she is a complete blank canvas, ready to be transformed and see if her dreams come true in the hands of her traveling doll project team:
From Ayala Art to The Land of HonahLee and jdconwell.

Her story is also very much blank, so it can go in any direction…
Violetta's favorite colors are of course violet, but also cobalt blue, sea green, jewel tones, all earth tones as well.

Her first trip will be from California to Ohio, then she will go to Texas and after that she will come back home… transformed.

She would love to look like a Renaissance Madonna

Dollies on a journey

Since I got carried away painting my doll for the TDP I decided that it was just fair to send two. And although they look nothing alike, they were to be twins. (Reminds me a bit of the mommy dearest story! LoL)

So well, those 2 will go for my big team the BeeBeeQs, for my 5 other team mates to play with.
 They are made of cloth and clay so far... This is their story:

Zeb and Calee

Zebulon and Caledonia are boy and girl twins. Since early in their lives people kept asking them if they were identical twins but they would explain that they were not, simply because one of them was a boy and the other a girl. But still every once in a while, somebody will ask if they were identical. Now they just make a funny face and say nothing.

They both love the Circus. Zebulon’s dream was to be a Star in a circus. But he’s a terrible juggler and he’s afraid of clowns. Caledonia just likes the fancy outfits and the pop corn. They wanted to work in the Circus so badly that they decided to be Panda Bear Trainers, but they could never find a Panda bear, and renting one was too expensive! Not to mention, bamboo is quite expensive these days.


So they changed their act into Cat Trainers. At first Zebulon wanted to juggle cats, but it was too painful and noisy.

Finally, they made an appointment to talk to the Circus Director. The day of the interview they brought their cat Tobias to show how good they could train a cat…. Unfortunately, Tobias took off running to catch a mouse, who turned out to be a very special Talking Mouse, star of the Talking Mouse Show… Thank goodness the little rodent only ended up with a big shock and a scuffed tail. Zebulon, Caledonia and cat were kicked out of the office especially after remarking how the mouse never even squeaked despite his talkative attributes. After that, no one would give them a job. They had to leave California with a tattered reputation. So they came up with a plan…

Zebulon and Caledonia would disguise themselves and start traveling through out the whole country. The plan was fantastic; they would change their looks a little bit at every town.
They could bring nothing since they were in a hurry, but Caledonia said she could not live without her green feather boa so she brought it along. (I think she just likes it because it makes Zebulon sneeze).

After shortening their names to Zeb and Calee, they just needed to mark some important destination points in a map. First stop: Texas!

I have my other doll for my Eager Eagles Team in a separate post HERE

I thought it was cool

I had to post today just because the date is so cool: 09/09/09 ;oD

The Frida cloth doll is all finished! Took some pictures and I think she turned out very nice, with her flowers in the hair.
I think she will go to etsy.

I also listed on ebay polymer baby Amber....

I was so stressed when I thought I lost all the pictures! I strongly recommend to burn a CD with your pics, and backup, and maybe keep the favorite pics on the little camera disc. I deleted a bunch although the little thing can hold like 5 years of images heheeh
Well, live and learn!
