Put It Down

She’s probably just going to chop some firewood.

This Blythe doll is Angellica Nurse of Compassion, wearing Leading Lady Lucy’s stock dress, posing for the theme “Tools down” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. This picture feels a bit more sinister than is usual for me, but it seemed perfect for the theme, and was inspired by the art of Kelly Reemtsen (google her, she’s awesome). I got this wonderful axe in a bag of doll-sized tools at the antique mall last year; this is the first time I’ve used any of them. At the time, I asked myself “What will I ever use these for?” and almost didn’t get them, but they were only a couple of dollars, so I put them in the cart. Now I’m glad I did!
