Anavel Wins!

Anavel took a First Place blue ribbon in yesterday's UFDC Doll Fanciers' show and competition.

He is a beautiful race horse and I am so glad that he won.  Congratulations to all who worked on him! People really were thrilled to see him and enjoyed him so much.

 Anavel's face was painted by Sdink, his body was painted by Enki, his eyes and hair were done by Anavel, and his clothing was done by myself.

 A huge Thank You to all for all your hard work!

The theme that I chose to display was "Inside the Gingerbread House".

Guest appearances in the display were made by Spiritdoll Herber the rabbit done up by myself, Sarangelo's Tea Cup fairy dollie customized by Candygears, Octopussy by the Mushroom Peddler,  the red Time Keeper by the Four Horsemen, and West Nile Charlotte by Simply Divine.

Special thanks to Weeener for lending me her food!

Masquerade !

Often, I am asked, "What's next? What are you working on? Will you tell?" Hmmmm, the answer is: Lots of fun things. After the exhibition ends in September, Orchid will spend her time getting ready for her wedding which is in January 2010. Orchid's wedding, which you can most certainly attend if you are out this way, will be the next event at Patchogue Manor at the UFDC Doll Fanciers' Show http://www.ufdg.org .

Orchid's wedding will kick off a year of Masquerade hoopla, keeping me busy with Venetian Carnival masks, silken ball gowns, vintage embroidered jackets, Swarovski jewelled tiaras and yes, horse races. The 'horses' will be attending the balls and we will have a ball figuring out who the most handsome horse in the mini-herd is.

Keep your eyes out for "The Last Unicorn" as he emerges, late to the party from out of the rose garden, to see if we have a winner. Listen to us laugh and join in here: http://catcara.livejournal.com .
