[wildholly]

I've been swamped with company lately. I'll have some time now to catch up and make. yeah!

[CiCiCreates]

Here is CleoCatra, attending the Ball as an Egyptian Queen. Gold sequins on her headdress and sandals. She is about 7 1/2" tall.

CiCi!!! CleoCatra!!!! She's ready for the ball! So pretty, loaded with detail. You always come up with the best names!

I'm making my dolls inspired by my fur babies.

[CiCiCreates]

It seems to be my thing, I name everything! Can’t wait to see your dolls.

[wildholly]

Here are the Provencal Sisters. Marguerite, Eleanor, Beatrice and Sanchia.
Inspired by a book I am now reading about the 4 queen sisters.
They have a rich history...and loved parties!

[CiCiCreates]

They are wonderful, Holly! So glad you posted pictures. Such a very clever idea, love how you used the gold lace motifs, and how the skirt hemlines act as a stand. Now I’m also interested in that book.

[CiCiCreates]

I just found the book on Pinterest, it listed the same names, and gave a summary. Sounds interesting.

[Miss Fame]

Wildholly your girls are stunning! I love your techniques.

[CiCiCreates]

Just received 4 glamorous guests to the Ball! The early-bird ladies are from An.M.Sudyka, and they are wonderfully gowned in beautiful colors. They are designed and constructed to be able to stand on their own, for easy display. In a day or two I will post pictures, these really deserve to be seen!

[CiCiCreates]

As promised, here are the fancy ladies from An.M.Sudyka:

[Miss Fame]

Sorry to withdraw- I am not up to snuff here. Thanks.

[CiCiCreates]

Well, I’m sorry too, but I understand, and thanks for letting me know.

CiCi - thanks for the earlier post with detailed instructions. I really appreciate it. I don't know why I didn't see it before but I missed it. This will really help me with my paper dolls!!

[wildholly]

Just send the 4 queens off to you today Cici.

[CiCiCreates]

The queen sisters have arrived here with great pomp and ceremony, Holly. There was nothing wrong with your picture at all, but somehow in real life these are so much more!! Anyone would be happy to receive one!

[wildholly]

They arrived in record speed.

[CiCiCreates]

They demanded it, Holly - they're royalty!
