Music

"Music--
a naked woman
running mad through the pure night!"--- Juan Ramon Jimenez

Nisha could tell you stories...story upon story, about her adventure at the seashore. about how she lost her left hand, about her secret necklace that she lets hang down her back, an amulet of sorts, carved by a goddess on an evening of the waning moon, how she was intentially pushed to near death off a shelf by an envious friend , but managed to survive to tell the tale although she now bares a scar on her head and suffers  lapses of short term memory loss (similar to that of her maker).

Although Nisha was born with descending knees, a trait that runs rampant in her gene pool, she refused to give up her dream of becoming a dancer. Through continual experimentation and practice, she discovered that she was a gifted performer of placid dance (common on the outskirts of Repose) and now entertains audiences worldwide.

It's true, she doesn't have a horse, like some people, but she hopes that she might one day (and if not a horse, she could be quite happy with a camel).

such a quaint thing she is and what an imaginative story!!

I don't know about that face, Katie. She SEEMS innocent, but...but...there's just something a little tell-tale about it.
She should probably get a camel...work out some of that self-indulgent addictions of hers.
She just might be related to Judy's french sisters - what with the birthday suits and all.
oxoxoxo!!!

Give Nisha a kiss for me and apologize for what Olga did to her; that really was mean and I don't condone such behavior. Between you and me I think she's still envious over the amulet necklace; what one gets they all want.

oh katie this makes me so happy. (and the visual of the necklace has me cracking up here in my otherwise pretty quiet home.)

love her name...and her story...

I'm just amazed at how your "style" and Judy's too, showes in a 3 dimentional piece just as it does on all that you do.
Nisha is wonderful. No doubt she could tell story upon story.

What a wonderful story to go with this amazing doll! I love it. You should write a childrens' book about this charming doll. I love your story-telling.

oh katie...thanks for making me laugh this morning! i've missed nisha and her creator something terrible. a camel so suits her better...i can only envision her riding wildly in front of olga with her coveted necklace flapping in the wind behind her...screaming catch me if you can now!

Your blog is a real creative goldmine! I got particularly inspired by your student collage faces. I think I would like to try that with my students.
