And yes, I keep switching Nami's wig. I prefer her in dark hair. Bonnie now has the short blonde curls. I always pictured her as a blonde, and I think these curls are perfect for her. They are also adorable on Elin, another blondie.
I spotted a group of fairies in a meadow of yellow wildflowers the other day..... I had all kinds of photography plans for that location, but it proved way too challenging, so I didn't take many. I'm always keeping my eye open for what look like good doll photo locations around town, and there is a church with a huge side yard full of the yellow bird's foot trefoil. They mow it, but it always comes back - so it's nice and short. But when we arrived there one evening earlier this week, I noticed that what had appeared to be a lawn from the distance, was actually a totally overgrown future parking lot of gravel. Well, inserting wire stands into the gravel proved almost impossible, and the dolls won't stand on their own on such an uneven surface, so after managing a few photos (with great difficulty) I just gave up. Maybe there's another park or schoolyard with the short yellow flowers.

Your fairy outfits are absolutely gorgeous! Such beautiful work. They look so sweet holding hands in the first pic.

You are so good at finding wonderful places to photograph the dolls (even if some don't work out well)

I'm always keeping my eyes open for good photography locations, as my own garden isn't always suitable. I especially like wildflowers, but this year with the cooler temps and all the rain, everything is double the usual height - again way too big for tiny dolls. But schoolyards and parks are good, in that they do get mowed occasionally, so any wildflowers will be nice and short. Comments are closed.
