Travelling to Italy with doll making on my mind,
I stayed in a Magical Art House, my doll to find.
Butterfly exhibits, markets full of scarves,
Italian wine and cheese, Italians do nothing by halves.
Trip to Niki De Saint Phalle sculptures all around,
creativity, inspiration and the Empress crowned.
Now back in Scotland with an alchemists haunt,
I place fabric and colour from my Italian jaunt.
Reblogged this on Bone Machines and other fictions.
Lovely doll and a great art experience in Italy no less!
Thank you Marilyn, she was a joy, I dyed her fabrics, except her trousers.
She’s adorable, I confess I have never understood the craze for art dolls but she has so much sassy personality I could eat her up!
Ha ha ha, thanks Teri, yes she certainly has a personality of her own 🙂

The glorious doll of Carole Gascoigne, a lovely guest of the arthouse earlier this year, inspired by her visit to Italy!
Thank you Clare, it was a truly inspirational trip
