Travelling Doll Project



I am involved in the TDP this year through ADO, I have sent off my blank girl to Susie McMahon with her journal. She shall be returning to me some months down the track completely finished after also visiting Grace at Little Black Crow Studio. It's so exciting we all get to work on each others dolls and play in their journals before they go home.
The idea for the character came about on a camping trip in the South West of WA when I was indeed collecting little bones.  

Little Bones


Slips quietly through the bush
Footfalls quick as a wren
Hair flying
Dilly bag flung over shoulder
Moonlit skin
Gossamer threads
Stopped now hunched over a find
Collecting little bones.

OWOH Winner - oops very late sorry!!

So sorry, it's very late to announce my winner, our demolished farm got in the way a bit. 
Congratulations to Judy from A New York Magpie's Eye, Penelope shall be on her way when she knows where to go.
Thankyou so much to all of the wonderful visitors and all the lovely comments you left.  It came at a very good time as our farm was devastated by a storm on the 31st Jan. Whenever I got the generator going and hopped online I was greeted by such encouraging comments.  Unfortunately I was unable to visit many blogs but once we get the power on properly I shall peruse back through the comments and come visiting!!
