It's late Autumn here in Michigan. Our pumpkins have already seen the bite of frost and then the warmth of 60 degrees and then frost again! I feel my favorite season of the year is wilting dear ones. I hope for one or two more gifts of Autumn briskness before a new season sets in...
I am hold-up in my studio as the weather changes. Cocooning myself with a spirit for creativity and organization, welcoming the elders as they gather around the fire to tell stories, and celebrating in the ritual of creation.
As promised, this is one of Nana's charges. Little Imogene has been up to her stem in mischief! She is my latest completed art doll complete with impish grin. Imogene has a playfulness about her and has been called Nana's Shadow.
I am always so excited to show you my latest dolls! I am just tickled by each one. Bringing my imagination to reality is am amazing job! Imogene is a bit smaller in scale I have been working in. Her head shape is a bit different for me too, but as a maker, I love to embrace the new. At the market a few weeks back we picked out some mini gourds. The twisted and contorted shapes were very inspiring. Kind of like a still life in the studio.
Prim Pumpkin is about welcoming in a breathe of warmth, from the vintage fabrics to the hand-dyed trims and embellishment that are each hand picked for the individual piece.
Primitive styling and a true love for pretty pumpkins is what I do.
Imogene is dressed in soft fabric and the lovely colors of Fall.
Thank you for looking at Nana's Shadow, little Imogene.
