However this past weekend I felt inspired that instead of a Wizard, I would have Miho, my Sorceress and Fairy Queen, playing chess with Winston.....
Every now and then I'll come across a posting on Facebook of what I consider to be a great painting of some fairytale scene. I save them for future reference hoping to someday recreate the scene with my dolls. Such was the case with two separate images of Wizards playing chess with dragons. So I found some miniature chess men online and made a chess board, and waited until the time was right to put the scene together. However this past weekend I felt inspired that instead of a Wizard, I would have Miho, my Sorceress and Fairy Queen, playing chess with Winston..... I don't know much about chess, so googled 'checkmate moves' and printed out a sheet with six different scenarios. After all there's always someone who will know if I try fake where the chess men are on the board. Plus it makes it a lot easier for me to set up. I think Winston is winning....

These scenes are wonderful from the setup to the lighting. I like Winston’s thinking pose.
