Chloe Proof

Chloe's photos for "Wild Horses" have been completed.  This is an unretouched photographic proof from the series by Richard Gardner.  Ultimately, Richard will 'use' only one photograph of each of the horses.  Yes, Chloe is a horse.  See the hooves?
.
Richard Gardner is a fine arts photographer.  He can be found here:  http://www.richardgardnerphotography.com.  The book of photographs on our one-of-a-kind original art dolls as well as any 'portfolios of art doll prints' can be purchased directly from Richard.

And to All a Good Night

For the longest time now, I have been promising to share with you the work of DaisyDayes.  DaisyDayes is an American artist who is arguably best known for her tiny resin 'hooves'.  Her 'hoofies' are, hands down, "cutest on the market".  Daisy's live horses, her love of animals, her kind nature and her boundless sense of humor, have combined to give her a unique insight into the animal kingdom and the way that animals move.
.
Daisy's photograph above has to be one of the best 'dollie photographs' that I have ever seen.  Listening to Who giggle is going to keep me up all night.
.
Merry Christmas Daisy !

Stalk Daisy on Etsy here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/daisydayes  You need to be extremely fast.  Her 'original work' literally sells out close to instantly.  'Mouse' and 'Moth', who were cast overseas, are available here: https://www.jpopdolls.net/store/home.php?cat=266

Edgar's Hooves

One never knows what 'Google' will turn up.  Look, it is Edgar's hooves as he walks along in Slantways.
 I love my dog.

Chade and Weeener

This photograph was taken by Fenris at a recent Seattle trunk show. Click the photograph to see Weeener. Chade belongs to Fenris and it looks like Weeener has taken quite a fancy to him. It makes me feel very badly that soon she will have to leave him and all her west coast friends and travel home to Little Cow Harbor.
.
Chade is a Soom Bygg . He was painted by the Queen of Slantways.

Calendar


Once again, it is time to turn the page to a 'new calendar'. Orchid is happily married to Doug, who spends many of his days in plaid golf pants. This leaves me free to concentrate on my stable of "Wild Horses" . On days when I am not walking my dog around Little Cow Harbor, I am attending the needs of my horses.
.
You can find behind the scenes chit chat and keep up with us here: http://catcara.livejournal.com/ . My deviant art page is here:http://catcara.deviantart.com/ . As always, the main web page is here:http://www.cathycara.com/ . I thank all of you for your interest in our work, your never failing support, and your gracious invitations.
.
I look forward to meeting you in person on my dog walks. Perhaps your hearts wish will come true and Edgar will, someday, with your unwavering support become "Mayor of Northport" .

Manhasset Library
Richard Gardner's presentation of "Bebe" the photography exhibition of our dolls

I will be on hand with Orchid. Orchid is still in her wedding gown. The other dolls which were on exhibit in the gallery in the Hamptons will also be on display. No dog and no horses.

October 2010
Preview of "Wild Horses"
Harborfields Public Library
Greenlawn, New York
For directions and hours: http://harb.suffolk.lib.ny.us/

The exhibit will be available for viewing any time the library is open during the month of October.
.
As promised, one of the horses will be on exhibition for the entire month of October 2010. A SaraAngelo Tea Cup Fairy will be on display looking charming in the outfit which I made her. Baby Chloe has put in an appearance. I am still conferencing with Vivi. She has lovely hooves, but I do not know if she has the patience to sit for an entire month. We shall see. I may have to bribe her with Halloween treats.
