I do know what you mean--our work does tend to evolve, whether we're trying to make it do so or not. But the Martha-ness of it is still there, to my eye...maybe they're not as primitive as they were, but they are still as authentic a folk art as I've ever seen.Jan Conwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549461070806120320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344844724048803624.post-42720310634509120142018-03-11T21:18:47.072-07:002018-03-11T21:18:47.072-07:00A lovely post, Martha.

You have come a long way in your doll making, but still, there's something about your older dolls that I love, too. I understand what you mean by "I have lost some of the freshness," for that's what I see too when I look at my earlier work. Marion is a beautiful doll, both with her bonnet and without. I love the way you painted her hair. I'm so glad she got this lovely new dress, and I know she is too. <br /> Hill Top Posthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12417478558713036325noreply@blogger.com
