"They played all through the night..."
Picture
"...game after game..."
Picture
"...until the Soldier had won every last barrel of their gold..."
Picture
'Well....let's call it a day!'
Picture
'No!  Let's call it a BREAKFAST, and you the meal!!'
Picture
'First be sure who eats who!'
Picture
'Do you know what this is?'
Picture
'It's a sack!'
Picture
'Well if it's a sack, GET IN IT!!'
Picture
"With a great shrieking and flapping of wings, all the devils were drawn into the sack.."
Picture
"The Soldier tied the sack up tight, took it outside where he threw, kicked and beat it, with the devils screaming inside...."
Picture
'Had enough yet?!?'
Picture
'Yes!!  Let us out!!'
​

'Then be gone from here, and never come back!!'    
Picture
"... and the Soldier released them.
​But he caught the last of the fleeing devils, and made him swear to serve him."

With every project, with every photo, with every story--you show the naysayers just how powerful an artistic medium dolls are. They aren't creepy or stupid or frivolous or merely young children's toys. They are like three-dimensional interactive paintings that possess such rich detail as to take hold of our imagination and carry us where our hearts call us to be...and to tell the stories we were born to tell.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comments.

I know this wasn't my own original story, but I was really excited about shooting the parts that I could anyways. And I'm so glad I did, because I impressed even myself. I was especially pleased with the lighting and the overall mood.

I just hope I can continue doing this kind of thing for a while yet.
