Description her mind was drawn to the woman

who sat at the foot of the bed....

she was a strange creature,

with a knack for prophetic babblings,

flights of fancy and space cadet philosophies.....

the oddity sat motionless and quite

and then began to sing,

"i am audrah,

pressed forth from wild lillies,

stitched with barbed wire,

and cursed by the moon......

i promise i'm smiling,

being a good little girl....

made of sugar and spice

and soft candied curls....

can you see me?

can you see me smiling?...

all silver hallide and twine...

if you had just stopped looking,

you would have been just fine....

you should have torn your eyes out as a child...."

"you should have sewn those ears closed...

tight and fine....."

miss. audrah was ordered off the internet from a page called "the doll and hobby shoppe". here's a link [link] the page looks like its being updated, since there are some pics that aren't available and such. still an interesting page though. i ordered eden from this same store when they had an awesome end of year sale last december...thats the time to buy dollies enough rambling. take care and thanks for the interest.

Wow, I thought the devil looked good in the other shot, he's even better in this one! You are the only photographer who really manages to portray so solidly the emotions and depths of your stories through dolls and toys. I love ya!

Oh, just another question
Is there a relation between title and "THX 1138" ?

This is thought provoking- what's that new doll, Raquel? Is it a dollfie? Pardon me, I'm still a little new to dolls though I love them heaps

melorah-viollet In reply to empAthee75 [2004-09-18 17:06:13 +0000 UTC]

thanks for the comment....audrah is a tiny version of dollfie, classified as 'dollfie plus- 27cm'. audrah was actually a mistake. when i first got into dollfie i didn't really know lots of details...so i ordered audrah thinking she was a much larger doll. i must have been completely over excited to have missed her centimeter height details...there was a brain fart that day.....i wasn't pissed about it though, she cost a reasonable $17 (her green eyes were $5) and i knew i'd be photographing her despite her small stature.

You're welcome, hon

Ah, that's interesting But, well, some lovely things do come in small sizes, too. Heh ah, brain farts, yeah, I get that, too. Hehe. And her price is okay- she's really lovely. I'll look forward to the follow-ups, girl

wow, your photographs are always great. i love the sheep head, at least i think thats a sheep head. and always very good usage of words "space cadet philosophies" and "stitched with barbed wire" are my two favortie lines from this. reading those made my.
thanks
