fictional heroines
Thursday October 09th 2008, 11:17 am







The first in what I hope to be a series of fictional heroines! I have already begun work on Pippi Longstocking. I had so much fun making Mary (although I still need to make her carpet bag) They were going to both be for a show coming up in December…but I’ve changed my mind and want to save them instead until I can finish a whole group. Then maybe I will approach some galleries about a show? I don’t know but I feel excited about making them and really that is all that matters. :)



AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! I LOVE YOUR MARY POPPINS!! She IS practically perfect in everyway!

I love Mary Poppins!
I have been reading some children’s lit lately to prepare for when my little one starts to read.
Mary and Pippi have both been on the reading list.
She is darling!

I love Mary Poppins and your depiction is excellent! I love her hat and the umbrella. What about Mrs. Piggle Wiggle? I’d like to see your versions of Madeline or Eloise also.
