Lucky was made by me as I played one day with local artist Dolly Hooper. .
We used her original jack-in-the-box design to create a black and white cat which resembles my own furry feline at home.
.
One of the nicest joint compliments Dolly and I ever received was the day someone said, "Wow. This town so loves the dolls that god had to come up with a special plan for us. He decided to create two of you as our own insurance policy to make sure that one of you will always be doing the work in the event that one of you can't."
.
For those who never do get enough of our handmade dolls in our neighborhood, Dolly's are on exhibit now in Great Cow Harbor. You can make a day of it: visit Orchid at Harborfields during this month of October 2008 http://www.harborfieldslibrary.org/ and visit Dolly's dolls nearby at the museum exhibit at the Northport Historical Society on Main Street in Great Cow Harbor. Visit http://www.northporthistorical.org/museum/museum.html for the directions and the times you can see Dolly's work.
