Goodt eeeven..ing...(in a Boris Karloff voice),
This is a piece I've just finished called
'~*'Petite Suite de Concert,
The Land of Children's Dreams'*~
An assemblage-painting into which I've incorporated 60 year old lace from an dress that is 'breaking ' at this stage!, an antique German porcelain doll's head, wire, and 1924 music manuscript -all within a gold painted wooden frame with linen inset,handpainted form phew! oh yeah the caption reads
' come along you little ones,come along with me; And we'll float in a boat made of bright moonbeams, to the land of children's dreams'
It is the same style,using same pose ('cos I like it!lol) as a previous piece 'When Your Talking Machine Glides' posted a few weeks ago (now sold). I'm doing a series of these dancing clowns. This is the second in the collection.

Do you know woman, I'm getting fed up with writing the same thing on your blog, but this is brilliant! I love the cheeky, pixie face of the doll and the way she's leaning out of the frame. Excellent as always! xxx
It´s lovely Rainey! I love the way you have incorporated the vintage lace.
I still haven´t come round to update my blog but I have chosen and edited the pictures at least... And I managed to list two new items in my shop!!
Tomorrow Bjarne gets back and I´ll have more time again. I´ll soon send you pics of the yarn I have in mind!
Bye bye!
Lovely piece Rainey & GORGEOUS frame!

I really like the effect of the doll comeing out of the picture and the lace...what a wonderful way to "preserve" it!
oh, she is so enchanting...i think i can hear her singing far away......
Oh wow, this is fabulous! I really must own one of your works!
The imagery you've wove was beautiful too - inspired me to think of a new background, thanks!

Rainey, you are such a wonderful talent to the art community. I just love your works. I especially love your visits with me. You always seem to put a giggle in my step! Fantastic works here...I think you should give workshops. I know I'd be in line, but with your talent, I might get waitlisted! LOL Keep creating your magic and inspiring us to do better. Have a wonderful and creative weekend my friend.
Cheers

Rainy,this is really wonderful!!!I love every inch of your creation!!Her head sticking out is "right on" girl!!Warmest regards,Cat
Thank you for your comment, Rainey! Your work is exquisite (I don't use that word often, but it's what immediately came to mind)...
O, those rabbits....!!!
Another amazing post Rainey! You are so talented friend. I love your work...it has that certain dark quality that I love. Sorry for the delay..things have been so busy. Hope you are doing well! Kori xoxo
Hi Rainey Dear - good to hear from you - I was beginning to worry!! The throw is actually hand crocheted, no machine involved there, lol. It´ll take me quite a while as I only have time in the evenings while I´m watching telly, but it´s a cosy project!
I haven´t forgotten your pink-red wristlets and scarf, I tried the raspberry yarn on the knitting machine but it´s too much texture to it so I can´t use it. I have some nice mohair yarn in a red shade, but I´m not sure it´s enough... unless you want the main colour to be pink, cause I have lots of that! But a friend of mine has some vintage yarn her father rescued from some factory and she´ll let me have some, so let me check if there are some nice colours we could use there. I´ll get it somewhen next week. Anyway, I´ll post you pics and then we´ll see.
Have a nice weekend my friend!
Bye Bye!

This is enchanting, Josie! And thanks for visiting the Marmelade Gypsy!
