won't you sit with me a while....

A dark-haired doll..... (when I showed her to my son he said: she looks like you!)..... hand dyed linen and a mix of hand dyed and vintage fabrics... She likes the chair, and feels it gives her a certain authority... all those words......

chairs - papier mache chairs, finally completed...... I have been working on these, on and off, for several weeks now...

and a pointy hat chap testing out a chair.... he's hoping for a few friends to arrive, some time soon...

I'm so pleased the sun came out - I was hoping it would so that I could take these photos....

enjoy your weekend....x

Love the use of vintage fabric. The chairs certainly do invite new occupants- you're going to be busy!

What a beautiful still life the chairs make with the boxes and the painting. It's gorgeous!

Amazing, looking so serene. Really beautiful.

Inspirational, as always, love the sculptural-ness (sorry, probably not a proper word) of those chairs.

words words words. we do give them a certain authority don't we? i like that they are plasterd on the chairs-mute to a degree. immobile.
helps me to better hear happy hat chap's thoughts.

and the chair shadows...

i like all the squares created by the empty spaces and the shadows....makes the whole scene look a bit like a quilt!

I so enjoy seeing your dolls. The dark haired doll is a beauty and the chairs make a perfect place to sit.
