Aside from "The Book in the Attic" and Orchid, herself, Orchid's spiderweb crown is perhaps the most widely praised, highly acclaimed, and ohmygod "Have you seen THAT in person???" item. Three golden tiers spun with genuine pearls and gemstones, 150 feet of wire, and over twenty-five hours work. Actually, I stopped counting at twenty-five hours.The photo which you are viewing, is yet another by fine art photographer Richard Gardner. Possessing more than one website, you can search for Richard's work on the web. Or, better yet, you can view the 'Bebe' exhibition of the dolls at http://www.richardgardnerphotography.com. Incorporating my work into his takes a great deal of his time. As you may, or may not know, the first images will be unveiled at Bebe (yes, it's supposed to have those cute French accent marks). Bebe will be a month long exhibit at Foto Foto Gallery. Orchid may or may not put in an appearance. A disappointment, yes, I know. However, we have security issues that we may not be able to overcome. I would think that she will be present at the Opening, however, so stay tuned for that.
Professionally matted, finished photos ARE currently already available directly from Richard. Sheer love and an undisclosed dollar amount will get you one. I have no idea how limited they are. I DO know that they are GLORIOUS. He takes great care and does each one personally. They are produced solely by him on a magnificent exotic paper.
Yes, we do plan greeting cards. Sorry, too busy. We didn't get to them yet. And yes, there was a marvelous Christmas card planned for this year. Sorry, everyone. Richard even did the photo, but it's in MY camera and it's STILL there. Early for next year, I suppose.
