claudine hellmuth's blog: retro * whimsical art and illustration

our suitcases are packed!

Tomorrow morning at the crack of dawn, Paul and I will be loading up the car along with Maggie doggie for a 14-something hour drive to Orlando FL. Our friend will be here holding down the fort and taking care of the kitties so we won't have to worry about Stan and Mabel!

We'll be spending our trip visiting family and catching up, I haven't been down to Orlando and seen everyone since January. WAY too long!

I'll be updating via Twitter as we travel and while we're away and I'll be back in the studio on Sept 13th! Have a great Labor Day weekend!

Have fun! I have to say I LOVE this image and what you are doing with the dollhouse; what a GREAT idea! There's endless things you can do! I was thinking that my daughter will be wanting a dollhouse in a few years and wouldn't it be neat if you made paper dolls with changeable outfits and accessories and such to go along with it? I was thinking about a big flat/vinyl type cloth that you lay out on the floor and there's artwork of a dollhouse/different rooms on it and the paper doll(s) could be moved about. Had to share with you, since it seems like an idea that would work in your special style. I'd buy a bunch! :) I had seen this post on a different blog and it sort of inspired my thinking in terms of dollhouse/paper dolls:
