5 out of 5 starsMemory is not as straightforward as one may have been lead to believe. What may pose as memory may be a wishful book of pictures one invests in for ones survival. Why is it that Sunday ( a day reserved for remembering how we are loved) tended to be the loneliest day of the week? Oh, the folly of oversimplifying the mysteries of life. Sunday is a lovely doll that conjured all that and more from me.

5 out of 5 starsTiqua is really very beautiful. This did not come across so well in the photos of her...some of us are not so photogenic. The deep deep blue of her hair is magnificent as is her sophisticated outfit. The male who noticed Tiqua must be very special...she brings an affirmation of natural goodness to female sexuality...which has the power to help delete programing that is anything less than true. Isn't it amazing what one can have from a doll and their little story?

5 out of 5 starsI have compassion for dear Alana. First of all she may never have had the experience to be regarded dearly. Then, missing ones certainty can lead to disastrous imaginings which take their toll. Currently she is sat in a rocking chair which seems to be restoring her faith in her own memories. This doll is tricky. She looks very sweet and innocent in her dress yet her face seems to reveal that she is long past the time of actual innocence. Not to worry, it happens to the best of us sometimes.

5 out of 5 starsThis doll is fascinating. Beneath what I can tell you is pure, unrelenting, anguish is real beauty. It is there in the way Lotus painted her eyes. I see it, and I am sure I am not the only one who can. I wonder how it will affect Peyton to see that I see her beauty as well as her anguish. Maybe, relax? It is not superficial that her outfit is impeccable.

5 out of 5 starsHow true it is! This clever and subtle observation is given expression with dear Judy...poor thing stranded within a need and desire that had it's beginnings in a lake of futility which could not be seen for all the mist and mire. Driven to continue despite the writing on the wall. Judy can not rightfully be bamed for her blindspot. With so much at stake....Such a common experience and yet so uncommon for it to be expressed so well. I love this doll. And, it must be mentioned that she is made beautifully, clothes....the way she was painted...excellent. Thank you Lotus for more of that keen courage! I admire Judy's insistant and doubtful expression for the real needs that moved her.

5 out of 5 starsFirst it must be said that Lotus must love Poppy a lot....I can just tell from the overall harmony of the colors and fabric and expression. Poppy is awesome. Lotus has captured an expression and demeanor that is subtle and complex. This doll is so evocative and can move all kinds of ways which bring out more feelings. I love the dress you made her. I love how much you love all the dolls. Poppy is an amazing doll.
