Already one of the most frequently asked questions is: WHERE?
.
Harborfields Public Library
Greenlawn, New York
Long Island, Suffolk County, North Shore
.
Once you are there, what you will see is an exhibit which is smaller than the last when I did National Library Month at Jericho. However, it should still be very interesting to Orchid fans because it changes mid-month. Orchid gets the curlers taken out of her hair and will have Alabaster to spend time with until they both leave on Halloween.
.
Already I've had to lecture Orchid about looking enthused as she's trapped with the frog. I brought the large red frog back from Vaca Key this past winter. I'd said to myHusband, "Look. Look hard. There's a kissable frog around here someplace." The joke had been that every frog that I'd sculpted was decidedly non-kissable. That Orchid had standards.
.
You will also see the handbag that Kyra made for Orchid. Kyra's work can be found locally at the B.J. Spoke gallery. Watch for the silver handbag as it is a very special, very nice piece.
.
Orchid will wear theDragonQueen's Precious for the second half of the month.
Polly, a spark plug bug, is on display for perhaps the first time. You can flick through the blog to find Polly and read the story of the Vietnam Vet who created him.

On the lower shelf is a barb wire heart created by the mural painter, Remy. The heart is indeed genuine barbed wire, painted the color of dried blood. No, it doesn't hurt the wearer when it's worn; I wear it happily all the time. Remy is the rarest of people: a talented artist, a warm hearted person, and an Apache native. Watch for the heart; it's a sharp piece.
.
Our darling yummy Nine is on the top shelf. Nine is solidified friendship all gelled into a ball. It doesn't matter if you're afraid of her, we love her to pieces and we're still working on her.
Alabaster's elf is on the top shelf. One of Orchid's elves, one of the twins, is on the bottom.
.
This is a reminder that the figures that you see are one of a kind and American. Other dolls might resemble these, but they are not the same thing. Orchid, Alabaster, and the elves are clay. They were each individually sculpted. Nine is resin. Send compliments to: www.angeldevilland.com ; the larger sculpts are pure A.D. genius.

The huge altered glass covered Book in the Attic is on display.

I can't promise you what will stay and what will go mid-month, so catch a look if you're in the neighborhood. Orchid may not be on display again until September 2009; she's a busy girl. She's got a wedding to plan.
