A New Story

For some time now I have been creating small hardback books {8"x8"} with a storyline, pictures, etc. I write the story, create the setting, design and create the costumes for my dolls, then take pictures of them in the settings and have them printed. It's a lot of work, but with my commercial art background it was a very natural thing to move onto, once I started to create setting to pose the dolls in, so I could display their new costumes, and gowns.
  As one person once said to me all that work deserves a great picture. So I started to create my little books. I have five now and am working on the next one. Ellowyne and Prudence have decided to go camping. A spring outing after after a long winter.
  First they had to find a tent. And here it is.



Ready to go. BUT..... that led to "I have nothing to wear" and you know the rest of the story. I am busy creating a wardrobe for both of them, suitable for a camping trip, as they have neither one ever gone on such an outing. It should prove interesting to say the least.
  So, as usual, one thing leads to another, and a new book is in the making.

"Skunks?" {a screech from Prudence}
