For Chloe :)!!

[avad]

This post is in honor of someone who made me smile SUPERBIG this week! I got a real-live-handwritten letter and art in my mailbox from Chloe, the daughter of my friend maryann's current roomate. IN RAINBOW COLORS!!!!Thank you thank you Chloe!!!!! I love it!:)!
Tell me this isn't the sweetest thing EVer:


And she made a beautiful color drawing based on A Place for Us!:

I am beyond touched. I am melting into a puddle. dang.

Ok, so I had promised to post pics of my beloved Polly Pocket collection (she sent me pics of hers through M) and so Finally, Chloe, here they are (so sorry for the wait!):

These are the older kind, mostly from the 80's...and they're very small and fold up into cute little compacts of all shapes..hearts, flowers, books, etc!

The colors and playfulness of them inspire many of my artworks...and I used the titles in my last series of sparkleworlds!...here's a close-up of one of my favorites- Suki's Teahouse!


Here's the one that opens up from the bookshape! It's called 'Sparkle Snowland'!


This is probably my ABSOLUTE Favorite. This is 'Grandma's Cottage'. I made a large artwork based on this...*sigh*..but unfortunately the resin didn't work out..waah.This one opens up from the house shape.


And here's one more pic of a pretty teagarden one...the doors open and the swings go round and the little bunny pops up and down when you move Polly on the path..:)


I hope you enjoy the pictures! And thank you SO much again for my letter...it made me so happy.

i was thinking cheshire cat, but that's okay. sooooo. speaking of dollies. i need a small doll, looks classic, like raggedy anne or something. but inside has shapeable metal rods. this would allow me to position it in various dance moves. the feet would have to have tiny nails and i could shoot the whole project on a wooden plywood for a stage. i'm thinking blonde redhead for the music. now do you know someone who could find me one of those? [i don't mean to steer this thread off-topic, so for future reference, you can secretly let me know if that is annoying, and i won't do it] but i NEED that doll.

hmmm well Dorothy looks like she ends in 48 minutes on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=245&item=5566596238&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

These divers (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=335&item=5565590579&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW) look pretty funny but probably not what you had in mind.;)

Claymation? Ms.A did some funny ones once upon a time...

that's the idea but that particular one is too scary. must be non-scary. must have sass (self-confident in her moves, but not cocky). must have elbow joints or at least by use of the inner wire. in other words, must be able to put hands on hips. i'm sure someone will have this somewhere. i will wait.
