Evangeline Disappears into the Darkness

The remaining exclusive LE100 A Dark Night Evangeline dolls sold out shortly after going on sale today on the Wilde Imagination site. They were offered at the same $220. price which reception goers paid last Friday.

Shipping was free today for any of the weekend's Ennui items and the WI website was crawling due to the large numbers of shoppers checking in there.

The Day of Ennui ~ The Sequel luncheon souvenir doll, Ellowyne LE200 and the two companion/table dolls, Amber and Prudence, were also available. All three dolls were offered for $195 each with special offer of $320 for those wishing to buy Prudence and Amber as a set. As of 1:21 PM EDT, all three dolls are still available.

As an attendee, I was disappointed to see these dolls go up for sale so fast but I wasn't surprised because they do this after every event. 

I'm sorry to say that the design of the three Ennui dolls last year were far superior to these with regard to their fashions and hairstyling.

Look at the intricate hair-dos on last year's dolls. The outfits were adorable and substantial. While the faces and the inset eyes and lashes on the six are all beautiful, this year's pale by comparison in every other way.

Emilia Nieminen, Artist

Emilia is better known on the doll boards as em'lia. She is a gifted and creative artist who is able to capture the visual essence of real life and put that onto her dolls. Her commission work is beyond belief in it's originality and use of materials. Today she sent out a notice with images of her latest work,  Yaobikuni.


You must go to her flickr page to read about this work, to find out the meaning of the title and to look at 23 more pictures of it.
