Thank you so much! This winner feel feels so good, I forgot how special something like that is. I really can’t wait to see the piece! thank you thank you thank you! And also: the reminder of those artist whispers. Yes... I also sometimes compare it to running horses in the distance, slowly coming closer. Or thunder somewhere far away. It’s so soft, as if I can’t really hear it. To act and trust on it, is, I think, one of the greatest joys of being an adult artist. The dolls are beautiful and so delicately taken care of!

I’m so glad to hear you have been able to get out, at the moment it seems that if you turn your back for a couple of days a daffodil, that you had previously not noticed, is now almost at full height. I sometimes hear myself saying “where did you spring from”

I love your dolls, it feels that they are ready made with a full history, they don’t seem to be new but to have always existed before you made them flesh (well, paper and wool and cotton) I want to know their stories, they are there if only I could hear them.

I hope you have a good week.

Love your dolls, but mostly you’ve reminded me I’ve forgotten what day it is and to write a post again.

Feel free to tell me about pegboard dreams, though, I love a good pegboard. I managed to go to ikea yesterday without buying another- a triumph! I don’t think European robins are at all related to American ones. I remember a very funny video about and English lass and her anger about using an American robin in ‘Mary poppins’ which is obviously an American film, but set in London.
