Welcome to My Red Cape. Long ago in another time my husband Jack and I lived in a little old red house. It was the stuff of dreams to us for the few years that we were there. I live there still a number of hours every day in imagination, with old dolls and paintings and fabrics and feather trees. I draw inspiration and happiness from the memories of that space in time and share some of it here with friends who remember how to step with Alice through the looking glass and take delight in whimsies and antiquities. ~Edyth O’Neill

A Fairy Among the Pumpkins

Some years ago, sweet friend Jan Conwell gave me this little nine inch doll to paint, I love to paint them and have never really modeled any myself but my large drape mold back about 1990. Jan does a fantastic job making Izzies. Thought you might like to see her playing among my pumpkins. Thank you Jan!  e







This 26 inch one I made in1990 before Dixie published her Izannah Chronicles. I had no great Izannah faces to study, and had never held one in my hand.  I had seen some in collections of friends and in museums.  She has a stiffened cloth head made over a sculpy drape mold of my own making. This doll and her sisters were all sold, then years later I bought her back from the collector friend in California.  e
