The Bride Of White Forest

The White Forest is an enchanted forest deep within the evergreens that is filled with lush blooms and leaves, vines and petals all in beautiful shades of white. Many creatures, lucky enough to find this forest first believe it to be a forest covered in soft, freshly fallen snow.
But, upon one's first step inside they quickly smell the fresh flowers, the crisp scent of a moss covered stream and delight their eyes upon every white colored flower imaginable.
And so, long, long ago this young creature was appointed the bride of this forest for everyone knows that an enchanted forest requires a suitable bride or princess. :)
She is available in my etsy shop.
And, below, is a Frida Art Doll/Sculpture that I painted from a re purposed wood candle holder.
It is called, "Frida's Heart".
It depicts Frida's deep, internal struggle between love and art. Should she direct her heart's deepest passion to her love of Diego or her love of painting? She will always be pulled in both directions.
She is also available in my shop.
Thank you sweet readers for all of your kind visits!
Have a great weekend. :)
