i want to start with a picture of leila in her gift box, all wrapped up and ready to go. it reminds me of a coffin.

for doll number 19, i found the pieces to a doll i had started months ago and then forgotten about. i finished him (aka "bill") while watching the movie "frozen", which is not a very accurate title. it should really be called (spoiler alert!!): "eaten alive by a pack of wolves". 

yum. 

he kind of looks like a washed out clown, but i still love him. 

and doll number 20. this doll is "the love monster", i was inspired by a critter thing that my friend becca made and by a book from the library called "stuffed creatures for immature adults", side note: why is it "immature" adults? why can't you just enjoy weird looking creatures. is it the stuffing? what about all those adults who collect rooms full of porcelain dolls? urgg, creepy. oh, pardon me, it's called "curious creatures for immature adults". mmmmmm, moving on. 

i'm giving the love monster to a friend whose having a rough go at it right now and needs love. i tried to think loving thoughts the whole time i was making him, which resulted in me getting the song "the lovebug" stuck in my head. here's a link so you can get it stuck in your head as well. enjoy!:
