...Story House doll is my newest doll creation... Story house filled with tales and memories from the 1800th century. Maggie lives in a story house which is surrounded by a garden, where the apple mint, tea roses and lilac bloom. Maggie is a story teller, who loves to write about little birds, forgotten gardens and wild woodland animals.

For such a long time i have been thinking of beginning to create some dolls. Yesterday i was inspired to begin create one, Miss Mattie, though she is an doll danglie or ornament. She is such a lovely Victorian lady. Miss Mattie is filled with organic lavender, so she smells like a summer garden! Now i am *awe* inspired, and dolls fill my thoughts and days. Today i begun to create another doll, with legs and arms this time... i do not yet know what kind of lady she will be, since i rather let the doll create itself, like Miss Mattie did. You can view more photos from her at here.

Yesterday evening my table was filled with things like empty lockets waiting to be transformed in to something lovely, laces and papers.

I begun to layer papers upon these little lockets and then painting them with gesso and pastel chalks ( i think these are my favorite artist supplies). Then i noticed lace on my table and thought to layer the papers with some pieces of lace.

Then i begun to think what i would want to "say" with these lockets? I wrote some of my favorite words with my vintage typewriter, but also things like "lovely day" to keep as an talisman and a "writer" which is very much part of my heart also.

Today i was editing this photograph at picnik. com ( i find this is the best ways to edit photographs) and thought that i need to invent a name for these lockets... 'token of heart' would be a perfect way to call these lockets, which describe the things i "heart".
