The Old Puppet TheatreMy velvet dress is covered with thick dust
A plastic smile had frozen my pale face
My tiny hands are wrapped is lavish lace
Some pearls of my grey corsage had been lost
My veins seem so blue on porcelain skin
Silky cords are knit into their pattern
When the master lights up his old lantern
I know, again, he fell in his chagrin

We used to be so many on this stage
Now, while he makes me twirl, I feel so small
Responding to commands in slow motion
I would have overcomed and turned the page
It's just that… After all I'm just a doll
And I'm not supposed to have emotions

Into NowhereThe Pain never takes sugar in his tea
The Missing doesn't make it any sweeter
The Waiting has no wish of getting shorter
Forgetting is so bitter…

A sunray, dancing dust like a pinch of glitter
A broken music box a few repeating painful notes
A heavy smell of ethanol and curry
My head is aching…

It's so cold in here...

I can't remember why I'm crying
But tears are running down my face
Sometimes I feel like everybody's lying
And then, again, I'm dragged away into nowhere

And here, I feel secure but something's missing
It feels like standing up on moving sands
I think I heard a voice calling a name that once was mine

So, when I was a little girl, I never wanted a prince charming on a white horse to come and take me to his kingdom as most of my friends did. Instead, I was reading Jane Austen's novels and dreaming of how I would grow up and move to England where I would meet a perfect British gentleman with beautiful blue eyes, who would take me to see Shakespeare plays and with whom I would spend afternoons drinking Earl Grey tea with milk, and having intellectual conversations.
So much for that...

In brief, I have given up on that dream a long time ago and it has become a sort of private joke. But then, lately, I have started watching some interviews with a certain British actor (brace yourselves, tons of portraits of him are probably coming...) And every single little detail about him painfully reminds me of that childish daydream. And I get lost in it again.

What you guys just witnessed is the precise reason why I am most likely going to die alone with 40 cats.

Ok, so you're (in my opinion) one of the best artists on this website. Everything you do is so detailed. Do you teach? I'd love to learn from you.

~gingersketches Dec 19, 2012 Hobbyist General Artist

This is exquisitely done. The art style is beautiful (so detailed!), and the coloring is lovely.

There is nothing wrong with dreaming, even if you know that dream will never be realized. It is dreams that help us to look beyond what we "know" to be true, and that ability to go beyond our senses and even our beliefs is what inspires us to imagine and create...

Sorry for the fortune cookie moment. I will counteract that by saying this picture reminds me a bit of Jim Henson's Labyrinth.

~misslysiak Dec 5, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

How long did this take you becasue it is amazing! I love the dress. Did you come up with the idea for it by yourself or did you copy a dress?

~shadows-leader Oct 18, 2012

Oh, I really like it. The dress is specially beautiful *A*

And yeah, he's the exact same reason why I am going to die with aprox the same quantity of cats as you. And I thought I gave up on that brittish-gentleman-dream long ago... /facepalm
