One World One Heart

Comments are now closed! I will do the drawing later today and post the winner of William tonight! Thanks for all the interest and lovely comments!
Hi!
Please come in and ride the magic carpet with me today. My name is Sarah, and Circles of Rain is my place for following the ever expanding circles of beauty and friendship in the wonderful world of blogging! Lisa of A Whimsical Bohemian is our lovely host and the creator of One World One Heart. Visit her to see the ever expanding list of participants!
I would like you to meet William. He is joining us on the journey and in a couple of weeks will be going on a journey of his own to live somewhere new! He is aware that some people find dolls a little freaky but he is willing to forgive that, and try to persuade you otherwise, should he come to live with you! William is of a serious nature-he loves to read and sometimes feels he just has to listen, and books will talk to him. Here you can see him listening carefully. He has a vivid imagination and likes to think that sometimes he is a King of Words-hence the fancy gold crown. For more down to earth days he wears his little cap.
William is made from polymer clay, and fixed together with wire. (Don't tell him, he doesn't realise) His clothes are hand sewn and made from a variety of fabrics from my ever growing collection! On his shirt are the words 'Possible Play Thing'. This is of the imaginative variety of play rather than the very touchy feely, rough and tumble type. He is not safe for young children to play with as he has got wire parts-but they could tell him stories as he would love that and it might make him a little less serious!
Can I just mention too, that he comes with a ribbon wrapped wire stand so that he can, well, stand! I am not the world's expert on stand making but it seems to work. He stands approx. 20cm tall.
Aah! William has just found out about the magical journey he is about to embark on-look-a little bird told him!
William is on the carpet and ready to fly!
For a chance to give William a new home, please leave a comment on this post between now and midnight of 14th February GMT. William's winner will be announced on 15th February!
Thanks for visiting, see you at your place!

    a good listener with a vivid imagination; handy when you want to talk and when you want to hear a good story ~ you win both ways!
    Love the story behind your new doll!

    Oh I do think that William might like to come and live with Pippa. He looks more worldly and intelligent, she does need that sort of ballance! Love his hat!

    He is just lovely Sarah! As Shell says, I find him quite regal. Even in his cap. It's not the crown (although he wears that well), he's just so dignified. And I bet if anyone can fly a magic carpet with style, it's William.
