Your travels to the different folk art...Hi Mary : )<br />Your travels to the different folk art places sooo inspires me! Especially,<br />the place that had all the dolls on the ladder. Love it. I have been sketching again and dreaming up paintings.<br />I began my love of black folk dolls in a town in Temecula California. A charming little "Old town". There were some cute folksy shops there and I came across this one artist work that was so inspirational.<br />Alice Walker is such a great writer.<br />Enjoy <3Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759831735033471810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456318398282222750.post-27138678440747481352012-01-07T17:32:53.261-08:002012-01-07T17:32:53.261-08:00Some dolls just have to be a little sad... :)Some dolls just have to be a little sad... :)Deb Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03729615248033326334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456318398282222750.post-54690212052399701492012-01-07T14:00:34.408-08:002012-01-07T14:00:34.408-08:00HAPPY new Year, Sweet Marie!

While living in California I came across this quaint little town where a woman hand made the most precious black dolls and I was hooked from that point forward. <br />Thank you for stopping by and visiting.<br /><3Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759831735033471810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456318398282222750.post-27966134888832627062012-01-06T02:15:14.265-08:002012-01-06T02:15:14.265-08:00Hi woman with wings (Peggy)

Thank you for those words : )<br /><br />Regarding the dolls; I have noticed when I paint a picture of a face somehow I will see my own face emerge...does that make sense? I never intend that, but it happens. lol!<br /><3Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759831735033471810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456318398282222750.post-28039461792521209052012-01-05T16:49:38.247-08:002012-01-05T16:49:38.247-08:00sorry...rather THAN sombre.sorry...rather THAN sombre.Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456318398282222750.post-57312812240394239742012-01-05T16:49:06.649-08:002012-01-05T16:49:06.649-08:00These are sweet dolls, I think your centre fellow ...These are sweet dolls, I think your centre fellow looks pensive and thoughful, rather sombre.Nanettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473143331781472223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2456318398282222750.post-24642701438391288122012-01-05T13:44:48.748-08:002012-01-05T13:44:48.748-08:00Love this, Marie.
