Dolls & Magic

My name is Victoria Winters is the first in a series of Dark Shadows cards I've just begun. They are 2 1/2 x 3 inch watercolors based on Dan Curtis's cult classic television show that ran from 1966-1971. My Mum watched them while I was in the womb. The second to the last show aired the day that I was born. I figured it fitting to start with Victoria, on the train to Collinwood Manor. Afterall, it does begin as her story, with the search for her identity. Like the show, I will keep You in suspense. You will have to wait for Barnabas, but I will tell that Collinwood, the estate itself, will be the number two card. Sometimes I wish that I worked in black and white, like now; but I've been watercoloring since I could write my name, and You can't teach an old cat new tricks. I have many surprises in mind with the cards, so the originals will not be available. They are a labor of love and obsession and don't take much time at all. Their titles are written on the back. Check in to the Magic portion of my Art Gallery if You want to see. As You can probably well imagine, there are already a number of Dark Shadows little dolls...Angelique, Josette's Ghost...dancing 'round my head. A little side note on The Taties, if You have been wondering too...It is at a publisher, but I haven't heard back, as usual. I did plan on publishing it myself, but I tend to go on, and it became too much for me. I'll keep trying. I do not work for the publishers anyways. I work out of sheer love and whatnot.
