I've been working on my first dollmaking book and I just finished the first example of what you could do with a basic half doll design.
I like to use a half doll to make ghosts, fairies, angels, or demons. Actually, anything that floats, flies or is in the process of appearing or
disappearing.
This first piece is a poor unfortunate ghost who loved not too wisely, but too well. She's in her watery grave, but I'm going to write a dark amusing poem about her ruining "His" fishing trips every season. I've always been an Edward Gorey fan and I had a blast writing the last 2 story poems for Poor Sad Mary and Autumn Leaves.
I like the names Maud, Rachel or Edith for this figure. If you'd like to suggest a name feel free.

I like Maud...if you haven't decided by now. I've read your blog before, followed the link from the dollmakers list, and LOVE your work. My blog is in it's infant stages but I've started making dolls and their pets in the last year or so and your stuff is SO inspiring. I want to be the 1st to own your book :)
