Entering the World of Romance
Now that my
Bridgette online class is over I have immersed myself completely into my next
project, Claudette. Claudette will be a
very romantic version of the cage doll. And since Claudette lives in the world of
romance guess what fantasy world I have been living in lately? I should be
decorating my home and getting ready for the holidays but instead I just can’t
seem to leave Claudette’s world of romance.
I spent the past few days playing with paper, paint, and cardboard to
create the romantic and vintage style frame and flowers that will be used in
her embellishment. I woke up
ridiculously early this morning and had to “gild” the frames by using an idea
that just popped into my head.
Of course
this fantasy world has also influenced my search for the end of the
internet. I thought I would share a few
romantic tidbits I found this week.
Did you know
that December is one of the biggest times of year for getting engaged? According to an article in USA Today (that of
course I found online) the four big proposal days of the year are Christmas,
Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving, and New Year’s.
The
Romantics, an American power pop and new wave band from Detroit, Michigan
formed in 1977 on Valentine’s Day according to Wikipedia. You can hear them perform one of their hits “What
I like About You” on youtube by clicking on this link
Enjoy!

The Beginnings of Claudette
As my online
class Bridgette is winding down on A for Artistic I have been working on my
next project, Claudette. She was
inspired by words I remembered from one of my dreams, by cage dolls, half dolls, a good
sale on pretty bird cages that I found at Michael’s, Marie Antoinette fashions,
and Romance. She is far from complete,
just in her beginning stages, but I thought you might want to see how she is
turning out so far.
