CELTIC FAERIES

Inside the Irish Castle, the corridors are lined in lace and velvet

This is where the Faeries play with all the pets

This is Queen Rose Dragon's favorite fairy, she gets to ride on her back

All the unwanted and orphaned animals are brought to the Castle

They all get the royal treatment, jeweled soft pink fluffy beds

The Celtic faeries play and feed, and brush all the pets

Dragon Princess, gently puts a tiny poodle in her own bed

Singing can be heard in the halls of the great Castle

Dragon Princess gives the tiny faerie a big kiss "slurp"

This is my story of the Irish Castle

all the dolls in this story are now in my shop

I swapped the evil Nanny, inspired by "Alice in Wonderland"

Evil and Scary is hard for me, to translate into a doll

But she is different, from all the sweet faeries in my world

Take a look at all the wonderful monsters over at the Monster Parade

MAGICAL DRAGONS

The sun was starting to set,

when I looked up and saw the Dragons

Queen Rose and her Princess,

spent their days looking for unwanted and orphans pets

They carefully pick up Kitties, Dogs, Bunnies, in their large floppy claws

and bring them back to Castle to live and be cared for, by the

Celtic faeries

I patted them and scratched their horns, I had a pocket of treats,

which I shared

Magical Dragons with the warmest hearts

Up they flew to the turrets of the Irish Castle

THE IRISH CASTLE

I grew up in a storybook neighborhood

I would pass the Irish Castle on my way to school

The South side of Chicago, a beautiful old area, filled with homes and buildings

100 to 200 years old

This Irish neighborhood has many large homes, and it was common to see families with 8 to 10 children

But the Castle was always my favorite house

I have heard all the stories about the Castle

A famous Chicago children's program called Garfield Goose with Frazier Thomas

Was the first story I heard from my parents, so it was Garfield Goose's Castle

When I got close to my teen years, I heard the Romantic Story

An Irish Gentleman, came to the area to settle and built the Castle as a home for his bride

But his bride unfortunately died on the ship ride over to the states, so sad.

For years I would pass the Castle and sneak up and peek in the windows

looking for Fairies, I would quickly run off afraid, that an armored knight might burst out the door!

Here let me get comfortable, and I will tell you my story of the Irish Castle

I see the Dragons flying over-head up to the turrets

More story to come next time, I have to go pet the Dragons!

FISH FACE

As a artist and cartoonist, I'm always trying to change my faces

Most artists have a face that they do, and you can tell the artist's work from the face of the doll

But I really try to strive towards faces that are all different

Which is done by manipulating cloth

Sometimes I get a little carried away

As with this Mermaid,

I call Fish Face

a melancholy girl all puckered up

ready to kiss her Sailor!

this collection of Mermaids can be seen at
