Vanitas and decay (thoughts about autumn)

Timing is a little bit off as we just started proper 'summer' holidays here in UK but next in line I have this coo tripple autumnal session for you to present...

One year ago we, on Polish doll forum, have started our adventure with a doll calendar. This first a session and my propositions for month of November (2018 hopefully).

A handsome lady is approachin in autumn of live and rusty decoy...

then it got a little bit creepier somehow...

I really enjoyed my first themed session... couldn't decide on a model so tried another story with my fiery Lenara doll in a melancholic backyard situation;-)

...on ruins of my summer garden...

Then I went for props and accessories and Ruslana - Queen of autumn was born. I will love this doll forever after this session - she stood in my bedroom in her full attire well into winter I think...
I felt so much pleasure wrapping things around dolls - things that would not work normally but suddenly shoot very well and have right colours...

none of my pics got a single vote which I still find rather unfair, yet i continued through Christmas, Carnival, Valentines, Easter and such till all calendar months were ready...

here is a little off with my little assistant (hair brushing is so overrated) and our Moxie we share:-)

My models pt. 2

I got her in second-hand / charity shop back when i used to live in Stockholm. It was a huge basket full of dolls and I am afraid to think what really could be there if I only know what to look for;-) then...
She was the first doll I have bought to myslef as an adult - she made me realise how much I love these, how much change in technology and style happend ince 80/90s... and for the first time I have used the on-line resources to identify the doll... Pandora's box it was...

Look at these amazing long and fiery red hair... lifelike eye lashes... and full lips...
