  1. Where on earth did you find that young woman? She is hilarious. And the donkey's teeth match her chompers perfectly! What a pair. What a story you are telling here.

    1. The teeth were a happy accident, because I wanted to give her a toy and this was the first toy I found in some old magazines for knitting. I only saw the matching of the pair after I had glued them down! To be honest I was focussing on the stamps I made out of erasers, because I have a book of patterns from the 19 century... and the girl came from a book called "Clothes throughout the ages" and the 'teeth' are from a Dutch couple named "Theo and Thea", who made children's TV programs back in 1985 still to be found on you tube. I had some old images of them ;))
