LOL! Actual...Vanessa -- you "so" crazy! LOL! Actually the cover photo is photoshopped. I "cartoonized" a picture my daughter took of me. That process distorted the appearance of some of the dolls so I sent the original and the cartoonized versions to my son to properly digitalize. My intention for the book's cover was not to be so readily identifiable as I would be had I used the original version. Normally, I am very low key. I did however, begin using the original as my Facebook photo a few months ago.<br /><br />Anyway, about the leather doll pouch I am wearing: It was made by leather doll artist Lorna Paris of NY. She is well known for her one-of-a-kind leather dolls and pouches. The pouch (the doll's body) can accommodate an ID, CCs, dollar bills, or small change. It's definitely a conversation piece. <br /><br />Please visit Lorna's <a href="http://lornaparis.com/lornaparis/Welcome.html" rel="nofollow">website</a> to view her beautiful doll art. There is also a link to her website under the Links section of my blog. She is one of my favorite doll artists. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-6174639189071047132011-06-04T06:14:18.547-05:002011-06-04T06:14:18.547-05:00It's always nice to see what internet friends ...It's always nice to see what internet friends look like. I get to see your picture on the cover of your book, but you never know how much of that is Photoshop. LOL! You know I am kidding again. Please explain the doll that you are wearing.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.com
