Where You Can See THE DOLLS

My September 2009 exhibit is on right now for the entire month of September. Any time the library is open during this month, you can see "The Dolls" here: http://www.nassaulibrary.org/plainv/ .
.
The Plainview-Old Bethpage Library is high pedestrian traffic, plentiful parking, easy no-nonsense access, and is a facility with a large art exhibition hall. It is located on Old Country Road just east of Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway on Long Island in Nassau County.
.
Part of the fun, so I am told, is "guessing" which of 'us' did what. Some artists' work are living and is readily identifiable, others have been lost to history but are no less important. Telling you quickly what you do not want to miss: Sally Shore made the miniature beaded lavender ribbon boa which, of course, Orchid is wearing as Sally made it just for her. Myrtle painted Chloe's stunning face. Miss Ally's book is indeed available for purchase directly from her. Baby Dead Ornie who Orchid is doing something with, is by Deb Kirkpatrick. Doug is a Dollmore Evgenia Hanoel LE 10 with Dollmore Studio paint. The crystal kisses were hand blown and one of them is signed. A tiny Elfdoll Seedling sleeps peacefully in the birdsnest.
.
It took me over five and a half hours to install. Many of the pieces are available for purchase directly from the corresponding artists. For example: Sally Shore makes 'people-sized' ribbon boas; you can indeed dress like Orchid. Well, almost.
.
Please stop by; do enjoy the show. It is the last time Orchid will be seen by the public before she marries Doug in January.
