Since I didn't do wings with Hope I won't try them with the rest of the trio. I'll save the wings for some future project. The red heart that Faith holds had been bothering me so I sewed up a pink one but was surprised to see it fade right into her dress. Back to the red one again, however when I put her all together I noticed that instead of taking over with it's boldness of color it seemed to compliment her attitude and her story.
The fun of art is seeing how everyone who views it has a different view on how it makes them feel, what emotion it evokes. With art dolls there is also what is the doll's attitude, what is her story. So, here is my artist's point of view on Faith's story as retold to me by Faith.............
Faith was born in the early 1900's to a very affluent family. She was brought up with the best education and material comforts available at the time. She posseses all the manners that were expected of a young lady of her station in life during the Edwardian Era. Upon reaching her 18th Birthday her father announced her betrothal to a man from another fine upstanding family in her community. This union was to increase the social standing and financial security for both of the families involved. Faith is normally a very sweet tempered girl, very obediant to her parents wishes and loved by everyone who knows her. However, unbeknownst to her family, Faith had fallen in love with someone her father considered well below her social status. Her True Love was sent away and Faith was ordered to have no further contact with him. Hence her name, "Faith" as Faith clutches her tattered velvet heart she dreams of her true love and lives every day with the Faith that he will find a way to return to her and they will be together again forever.
