Orchid is, now, for the entire month of November 2007, participating and on display with the Fiber Exhibition, in Jericho, over in the next county. Yes, her elaborate clothing constitutes the 'fiber' part that qualifies her to be there..
In the photograph, along with a sneak peak of the getting-to-be-infamous Red Teddie, is the dark hair piece which Orchid is wearing for this exhibit. Orchid's two-tone hair, was imported from China by A.D.; it shimmers and changes from a lavender to a sea foam green. Naturally straight, it cascades down her back, passes her shapely legs, and gently brushes her ankles. Her glorious hair enables her to play leading lady in The Little Mermaid, Lady Godiva, or Rapunzel at a moment's notice. Orchid's hair will be down for viewing in October 2008 when she greets her Frog Prince.

In the Jericho exhibit you have a chance to glimpse a portion of the fairytale "The Nightingale". Orchid has gone distinctly Oriental and is wearing her hair in my version of a traditional Far Eastern up-do. The vintage golden comb in the photograph anchors her hair in place and can be seen in the exhibit.

For newcomers from Jericho who have never seen my work before, this is a good time to thank you for coming and thank you for liking Orchid enough to want to find out more. Please feel free to bookmark this blog and to become an 'Orchid groupie'; Orchid is always up to something wonderful and we've discovered that more is always merrier. So, please, don't be stangers.

It's also a good time to remind everyone that Orchid is a collaborative work between myself and A.D. Puchalski. Orchid is completely hand sculpted and is one-of-a-kind and, as her fans well know, has a life of her own. Orchid has won 'the Triple'; the highest award given for doll art in the United States. A.D. is primarily a graphics illustrator, resides in another state, and can be reached here: www.angeldevilland.com . The 'yakuza Necro Bun', yes, that tattooed white "tentacle reaching rabbit" who is intent on getting the lovely blue Nightingale, is pure A.D.; colorful, adorable, Necromiconies are each constructed individually with pretty much no two being the same. Necro buns are on hand at the equally colorful Ripe Art Gallery www.ripeartgal.com . If you don't 'get it' and hand-sewen tentacles aren't your 'thing', don't worry about it; Necromiconies are best understood by lovers of H.P. Lovecraftian fiction and lore.
