MMM - Playthings

Mixed Media Monday has as the theme this week - Playthings. My first thought was my daughter's 3 favorite dolls when she was very young. In the picture above are Tabitha, Buttercup, and Bitsy Baby. Buttercup is nearly bald because she was carried everywhere by the hair. I really could have done another card using my present playthings, my art stuff.

The bandana-style background is another scrap from the Alan Ladd piece I did a week or so ago. It was a Moon Shadow misted card stock, stamped with See-D stamps.

    Hi Faye!!!
    How adorable!!! And I love the story about the dolls...so cute.
    It reminds me of when my dad was really sick 25 years ago before he passed away. At the time, my daughter was 3 years old and she used to bring her Cabbage Patch doll with her to the hospital every day...The doll's name was Josie Genevieve....So, every day the nurses would say, "Here comes Jenny and Josie Genevieve!" Even Josie came to visit Papa because we all loved him so much.
    Dolls really do have a history with little girls...I love how you incorporated those memories into this piece.
    Hugs,
    Cindy

    It is the piece you should have done ... our art is so much more special when it preserves a special memory.
