But first for a bit of their folklore. Their home planet, as yet unnamed, is divided by humanoids that live on land and those that live at sea. Nymeria takes after her nymph mother and Sister like their earthy father.
[Sister is a Frankie Stein doll and her hair is flocked with caraway seeds. She wears Jack Sparrow's bandana as a top and another piece of it on the waistband of her Barbie Galadriel dress sleeve. Yes I cut it a long time ago and I'm an idiot. I didn't get a good shot of the skirt at all. It's got a nice hip hugging fit when she stands.]
The people of this planet have guarded the Stone of Amaranth for eons. Every lifetime, two females are chosen. One to communicate with the Stone and one to guard her. The one who communicates with the Stone drops her name forever and is only known as Sister.
For the first time in hundreds of generations, the pair are sisters. And for the first time ever, a Sister is blind. It is said this is why she has more power and connection to the Stone than any other Sister in history.
"Well here she is folks, my big sister. Isn't she pretty? Remember what I said about being nice to her."
"The Stone and I are one."
"I told you she was delicate. You see, the Stone knows everything. All that was and will be, all over the universe. So if you had it inside your head you'd be a little loopy too."
"I'm blind, not deaf you twerp."
"Anyway, we've just landed here on Earth. I'm not sure why we're here. Waiting for some intel from the Stone. Isn't that cute? I sound like one of you now."
"Nymeria, I'm getting something. Oh no."
"Nym, help me to the ship. Terrible news."
"Nymeria, the Stone must stay here on Earth. Powerful forces seek to destroy it and us with it. We must find something called a 'gypsy'."
Okay consider that a prologue for that fairy tale I was supposed to be working on like a year ago.
Miss you guys!
smooches,

At least they've come to the right dolly-universe to find a gypsy ;-D
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading what message the gypsy will have for them.
That's for sure D7ana. I've been wanting to do some fantasy stuff so I'll try it on for size..
DeleteThe Sister looks so interesting! Do you know, what you've managed to do with your base MH dolls?
ReplyDeleteYou've managed to make them break out of the cookie-cutter mold that most of them are in AND make me look at them not as MH dolls but as believable creatures of another kind. I really, really like that. And I love the caraway seed hair! :D
Thanks honey! I am soooo looking forward to my move and absorbing myself in the blogs and doll work again!
