Ok you might think this is gross, (I sort of do), but I couldn't help myself, I couldn't throw it away! I made this dol
l nearly 18 years ago. The stains on the face are from my son's kisses. He loved this doll. He would carry it everywhere and kiss it and kiss it and kiss it. He is still a very kissy person, loving and sweet. I just had to keep it, kissing stains and all. It used to have a shirt and pants but those are long gone. My grandson was over and we went in my studio to look at all the colors and I spied this doll up in a dark corner of the closet. I pulled it down, showed it to JJ and he laughed and wanted it. I couldn't let him play with it because it's so dirty & beat up. That was rotten because I love to hear that baby laugh. I want to pull out one of my sewing machines when I'm finished with the commission painting I am working on. I am going to make JJ one. Isn't it strange how just a face with little rosey cheeks and 2 black dots for eyes can mesmerized kids?
I had an email this morning from a buyer in Maryland that hasn't gotten her paintings that were mailed priority on 2/14. I am worrying myself sick about it. I have the reciept for the postage but it doesn't have a tracking number on it. It wasn't insured but I am going to have to charge for or pay for insurance from now on. It's worth it. I may be repainting those for her and I hope I will be able to get them to look like the ones she purchased. I don't draw my angels out, I just paint and they usually let me know when they are finished. Well I have had a couple that I thought were finished, but they keep nagging at me, so I do more on them until they quit nagging or I completely ruin them. Like the white ACEO angels. I can't stand it that they are all white now. Maybe I was on color overload the day I painted them, but that didn't last long and they have been screaming at me. I think I will give them some color and make everybody happy. haha

Awwww It's just as cute as it is gross. heeeeee I hope your paintings get there!
these tuesday's altered thoughts are cool, but i don't think i could do it with just black! i'd have to have color! love the kissy face doll. none of my girls dolls have any clothes left either. :-) and lastly, because your art makes me smile so much, i just awarded your a "spreader of love" award on my blog. have a lovely evening!
Ahhh, the drool stains of childhood kisses. I have a doll around here with the same thing on it from my nephew, who loved her.
I also tried my hand at an altered thoughts page today (on my Don't Stitch Where You Eat blog). It didn't turn out looking so great, but I'll try again next week.
Oh man that sucks about the paintings not arriving yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed!
