Description

Be blessed by her twinkling smile!

This design also comes in soft PINK, also on Fine Art America.

On October 28, 2016, I finished full-color art of "Karli Star With Butterflies And Raspberries" and added it to my gallery on Fine Art America.

First I put my blue-colored-pencil drawing of Miss Karli onto Photoshop, where I also added my pencil drawings of mushrooms, scrolls, butterflies and raspberries. Photoshop helped me color and weave the drawings together.

THE STORY of Karli Star, by Rose the dollmaker
Her life began late in the Spring with great excitement.
Who might this tiny Gnome Child become?
As Summer turned to Autumn, however, one busy day quickly followed another while Karli awaited her turn in the Doll Room.

She missed the apple cider pressing because her dress was not hemmed.
Her walnut basket held all sorts of good things she had wanted to share at the Community Harvest Dinner, but she it missed it, too, for lack of a dress.

On a chilly autumn afternoon, Rose called her into the Doll Room and gave Karli a newly completed holiday dress. Karli shyly slipped behind the teapot to try it on.
"Twinkle Twinkle little Karli Star," Rose said, "Now I know exactly who you are! A diamond twinkling bright in smiling skies."

Rose also wrote: "Karli's expression was one I fondly remembered from my childhood. It was the shy sweet face of my younger sister Karla."

Here is a link to the original web page by the doll artist about Karli Star, who is only five inches tall, made of fine polymer clay.

"Flockling" refers to Rose's family of natural and adopted children, of which there are quite a few! A country house filled with lively joy!
