John Keats miniature art doll

[Cath]

Forgive me for lowering the tone briefly here. But somebody showed me a webpage today with curious crafted dolls of writers and Keats is among them:

What do you think? Not very flattering, no? Keats had, we are told, a fine nose (not one bashed crooked in a rugby match ) and with the exception of broad shoulders was slighter (i.e. less overweight!) than imagined here.

I like the earring on the right, but the typewriter on the left bothers me. Too bad the artist couldn't find a way to create that one with an image of a quill and/or ink-pot. Anyway, that pair of earrings is much, much better than that pitiful looking "doll." Even though my pierced ears closed up about a hundred years ago, I would have bought them because they're Keats related, and I'm such a sucker for just about anything that's connected to him. I'd probably buy that doll if it wasn't so goofy looking, but I just can't! It's too much like an insult to his memory!!

I really like my earrings, even though the typewriter is a bit of an anachronism ... Wore them to go to Keats House last month so now are even more special.

Theyr'e nice. Shame they didn't do quill pens as well!

And if I was being really picky the Hilton portrait isn't my favourite an I would have preferred Mr Brown's!
And as we seem to be on a Keatsian retail roll here, I will add that the reason I was at Keats House was to (plug alert!) drop off more of my cards for their shop (situated in Mrs Brawne's parlour). Labour of love, you might say!

Oh! I love your card. It's so imaginative and sweet and poignant all at the same time. You are talented!

I like it too and the Wordsworth cottage!

Very well done! I'm especially glad to see you didn't include the Chester Room.
I wish I had any kind of creative talent. I so admire all the poets and artists who are my Keats friends.

Thank you all! What made me particularly glad was that Keats House approached me rather than the other way around. It started me off on a long term project - and an art card business, so thank you Mr Keats!
