Gerta's best friend, Priscilla

I've had several requests now for more Gertas, especially since I've refused to sell her.  So, I set to work on a new Dish Witch.  As always, the doll I was creating told me I was wrong.  She doesn't want to be a Dish Witch.  In fact, she's informed me that her sign instead of saying, "Dishes are CLEAN. I'm flying with the girls" will say, "FORGET the housework. I have a DATE!"  or something to that effect.  She hasn't decided yet whether she's got "A" date, or his heading out with 'the guys.'   But while she ponders which of her many suitors to spend some time with, she's looking lovely on my kitchen table. 

Dorian

I've been away from my dolling for a while, but finally cleared my plate enough to get back to my Nest and by work table.  First order of business was the ghost someone asked for.  I knew I wanted him to be fully clothed, but wasn't quite sure what kind of clothing I wanted for him.  But when I started tearing fabric to wrap the armature, I found his clothes!  --That's one of the things I love about dolling: the serendipity and the discovery.  And also the scavenger hunt of trying to find just the right thing to become something else entirely.  So, anyway, here's Dorian.  So far.  I've still got to dress up his base; I'm just waiting for my inspiration.  Hubby said to give him a rat or two; son says he needs "a gentleman's cane."  I'm still waiting for Dorian himself to tell me what he wants.
