As you may recall, I taught Aldora at MM&M this past April. I must admit, I never was really satisfied with her face and I’m sure my students can recall me telling them I still needed to further enhance the facial features. Well, last night I decided Aldora must undergo a ‘face-up’ so she can venture off into the world. That’s right, Aldora is completed, to my satisfaction (LOL), and is available through my Etsy Store. She’s much more dramatic and exotic looking. I’m very pleased with the final result. Hopefully, her new owner will be too…
It's been a long time since I've made a Prim doll. In fact, it's been a long time since I made a doll period. My sis borrowed my sewing machine for nearly 2 months so I decided to purchase a doll 'blank' from a seller on Etsy. This little gal has been painted, stained with coffee, sanded, enhanced with pencils, pigma, pastels, gel pen, and sealant. I finally was able to clothe the sweetie, thanks to my sis returning my machine. A few finishing touches and she'll be available on eBay. I will add a link to the auction very soon.
You are The Empress
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
