Hi everyone!
Autumn has arrived to Sintra and now the weather is cold and damp... not good for paper mache drying.
As we are struggling to find the means to get a new house, I havent been much focused on my overall creations except the ones I can post of my Etsy shop in order to try to generate some income. In fact, I remodeled some bits on it and now its all about what I call "myroyaldolls colectibles" (funny enough when my earlier pet portrait painting postings were about to expired, someone bought me one - the big peacock portrait (which I felt it was a nice sign as peacocks are birds whose spirit's symbol talks about transformation towards acknowledging the beauty of the inner self to the outter self). My very first Etsy sale!).
I feel that slowly I'm opening up my "subject" range and stop being so focused on historical dolls, nevertheless and because I wanted to make things happen, I decided to post all that I have made even if I think that people in general wouldn't be that much interested as they are so connected with Portuguese history - it's worth to try and if no one buys it's at least curriculum!
