After my series of lockdown seashell drawings I wanted to work on something which did not have Covid as a starting point: we are not free from the pandemic yet but I needed to look forward to more happy and free times. I decided to draw my Action Girl and Pippa Dolls in dynamic poses in their brightest vintage oufits alongside toy Spears' Flowerplay flowers and real summer blooms chosen for colours which echo the clothes. I loved my Action Girl for her hair and poseability. My Pippa dolls were a favourite because I thought they were so beautifully made and were a delight to move. The fabulosity of their outfits speaks for itself.
