Portrait of one little girl with sharp fingernails and a blade…
It all happened in one black spooky house…
when teddy bear didn’t want to play…
And his blood had tomato red shade.. just like on the old movies.

Hello!

** Albino Baby Lamb **
*
*
*
Once upon a time there were two little lambs, one white as a fresh snow and one black like a starless night… they were sisters.
Warm, summer morning sun bathed the meadow in the softest light… flowers swayed gently, releasing light dandelion fluff into the air…. magical….
Everyone were still asleep, and, despite what their mother told them, two little lambs decided to explore the meadow alone….
Each flower was more beautiful than the previous one…. dandelions tickled them on the noses… grass was like a sea before their eyes… vanishing into the horizon…
And they got lost… sea was everywhere…
It was noon…heat was getting stronger and suddenly.. there was this little hill… and a door.. with a flower shaped door knob…
it was so cool and pleasant inside… little flower lamps along the corridor lit up as they walked deeper and deeper… into the realm of the king of Flowers…. but they didn’t know that yet…
doors… so many…. so tempting… little Black Lamb opened one… and there were stars and blackness beyond… cosmic wind slammed the door shut….
They didn’t try it again… they just walked… even deeper…
until…
the corridor suddenly ended… no, wait… it was just a heavy brown curtain… and behind it…
A great golden chamber filled with crowd, light, music and the feeling of joy….
and sudden silence.
And a voice spoke… – welcome into my realm sisters. You’ve traveled far, but one of you crossed beyond.
There are choices which lead us to different places, and you my beautiful Black lamb Looked into the darkness… lured by its beauty..
now, light won’t love you anymore and you must stay with me and be my wife, be the Queen of the night flowers..
but…
White Lamb cannot stay.. she never chose that path… and to separate you, it’s a great thing and needs a great gift in return..
then.. by my power.. I give you both a human-like form…
and a new future. Farewell White Lamb.

*
*
and now… story telling time ^_____^
*
Amelie is twelve… in the same time she might be 102… time is a tricky guy (Tym for friends)… he often hurries somewhere just to slow down when you least expect it.
Time is one of the endless(or near to), and he never understood why someone could say “your time is up”.. silly mm?
But he really gets pissed when people carelessly declare that “time is of no importance” … because he knows that in real life almost everything depends on him… even Amelie.
They bumped into each other in the Cotton Candy alley (funfair grounds at 11.37 /5 )… Tim – running late, Amelie – red faced with eyes drowning in tears …unable to articulate a single word..
only two ice-creams and one chocolate apple later Time was able to extract anything of the story whatsoever…
*
*
That’s how he found out that It’s not her who’s lost.. it’s her mom and dad that went missing..
Amelie was watching little flying elephants in the exotic circus when she found out that mom is no longer holding her hand….
Tim rarely feels the pain of ordinary or even extraordinary human lives… so no one quite knows what was it that made him show any interest in fate of Amelie…
Was it her huge eyes filled with hope? Or was it that he couldn’t shake her off in any possible way?
I’m personally voting for persistence in this case… or maybe a spontaneous and surprisingly nice and warm hug he received…
Maybe for a moment there he have thought… ah, never mind for now….but I will tell you later…
*
*
Amelie lives in two times at once…. Tym closed her in sort of a time bubble… I don’t quite understand it… but she’s here and “there”… not aging, as few hours extended to 200 years..
This is a powerful spell (or a clever science as someone would say)… and such are never for free…
…..this one uses years of Amelie’s life… as they shrink, magic enters her body instead… slowly changing her.. making less human with every passing second….
The only visible mark are her eyes…. changing to copper gold… one eye is complete.. other one has few gold speckles… that could mean she’s around 102…
She has all that time to look for her parents… not sad anymore, filled with hope… but slowly entering a new life..colorful, unearthly existence on the grounds of the Strangest Funfair On Earth..
Life filled with friends and stories… and Tym… he’s there for her… and she’s somewhere between 12 and 102 and confused where is it really…
*
Every day she spends few hours looking for her mom and dad… wearing a little plate Time made for her.. plate with a quick sketch that her parents agreed to pose for at the funfair.. Amelie sometimes dreams about them, but they no longer have faces… I’m not sure she could recognize them anymore…she’s not sure either…
Amelie was always a social soul… she particularly loved to bake for everyone….as years passed, and magic in her grew stronger, she noticed that her pastry have a funny effect on people… extending minutes to hours, shrinking weeks to moments…. soon she learned to create her sweets consciously, and one day a little market with “eat a cake – loose a day” or “one chocolate slice of a week” sprung up on the Cotton Candy street and quickly became crazily popular among crowd… as who would not like to stay in this place of wonder for a tiny bit longer, or buy a time shrinking cookie to escape from a boring meeting?
*
*
Amelie grew happier and happier with every passing day… making friends… helping create unforgettable stories…
….let’s look into the future….
Amelie’s eyes are copper gold.. one brown speckle remains.. one day of her human life left…
She almost belongs to the Funfair…. and to the Time… that was the deal… and Tym loves her… he knew that all along.. but knowing is not the same as feeling… sometimes you need a lot of time to find out things for yourself.
^____^
certainly not the end.

She has lovely, unusual scalp that looks very natural (even though it’s synthetic). Hair have a bit stiff feel to them, proper for some coarser type of human hair, and they are easily curled with curlers.
Amelie comes with Pure Neemo body – if there are any questions about this type of body, I will gladly answer them.
if someone prefers Blythe body,that can be arranged too.

Valentine
enchanted girl from “The strangest Funfair on Earth” series

“I sell heart cakes at the Booth of Love”

Her story.
Once upon a time there was a poor couple living on the edge of the village woods – Hunter and his Wife. They wanted a child, but years passed and they came to terms with fate.. so only two loving cats kept them company in their little hut. One night Wife had a strangest & vivid dream, she woke the husband and told him – my love, there is a child crying in the heart of the forest, we can’t leave it there! – Hunter was reluctant to go as it was a long walk and woods were wild at that times… but he could see how moved his Wife was, and as he loved her very much, he agreed to go.
Wife was anxiously waiting all day… and when the night came and the Hunter wasn’t coming back, guilt and fear crept into her heart… She couldn’t sleep all night, convinced that something terrible must have happened. But in the afternoon a familiar sound of horn rang out in the woods… she trembled, sank onto the chair and started sobbing… that’s how he found her…
..and when she looked at him, fear struck her the second time as there was blood all over him… and in his arms… oh! In his arms there was a baby! Covered in red, but she could already see it was a gorgeous little girl!
The story hunter told her chilled her blood… how he walked few hours to the deepest and darkest place in the woods… how all of the sudden a largest bear he ever saw in his life jumped out of nowhere… there was a fight.. and just by that much Hunter won… it was almost night and he was tired and hungry..there was no more cheese and bread in his sack…. and although he had little strength left, the oldest Hunter’s tradition ordered to consume the heart of a fallen beast as a first meal to thank gods and nature.. so he had no other choice but to cut the bear open. As he did that, something unbelievable happened…. There was a child in the beast’s heart….
Hunter and his Wife never told this to anyone, it was safer not to. The girl was simply found in the woods.
After first bath, girls hair were still red, so they named her Strawberry. She grew faster than any other kids, but at the age of 16 she suddenly stopped, and did not age after that. It all seemed a little odd to the village folk, but Strawberry had this incredible charm, that made everyone turn a blind eye to those “little anomalies”..
And Strawberry.. well… she had magic in her. Wherever she appeared people felt better, and often fell in love… at first love power was wild, which was hilarious sometimes. As when the old Pat fell for his Goose.
Time passed and Valentine (as people now called her) could see more clearly hearts and desires of others. She used that vision, a bit of herbs and a little magic to make people fall in love. Her mother thought her to bake delicious cakes and buns, and Val was often using sweets to “help” the luck a little bit.
Time passed, her parents left and returned to nature, and Val was feeling lonely sometimes in her little hut. Everyone was falling in love except her…
One day of summer, when fields were covered in little blue flowers, she went to get some wild strawberries for her famous heart cake… the best ones were near the little stream by the old oak. The path was dry and pleasant, the smell of forest divine and birds were chirping quietly in the trees.. She saw him near the stream. Boy dressed in green, looking at the water.. when he lifted his head and their eyes met, Valentine fell in love.
But the name of the boy was Narcissus.
Heartbroken Valentine, unable to get his love was fading like a flower without rain… cakes became salty from her tears… and magic begun to weaken.. An old, local witch took a pity on her and said – “this full moon, between two bent rowans a door to the magical place will open. You must go there if you seek help. Go to the greatest tent and tell them Gabrielle sends you”. The words of the Witch were very enigmatic, but no other explanation was given… and Valentine, with just that that faint hope left, packed her things, closed the door, hid the key under the pot , lit the candle and went into the night.
Two rowans looked as they looked always, a little bent. And from this side there was a dark night but when Valentine stepped through an invisible line between the trees… daylight have hurt her eyes and slight breeze blew off the candle. Funfair was crowded.. there was more people that Valentine has ever seen in her life… and so many colors and smells! She was overwhelmed for a long while, but forced herself to search out the tent Witch told her about. And there it was (there means “there it was at that time as at other times it was elsewhere”).
Name “Gabrielle” opened many doors and oh! what was that strange look in their eyes? Love? Desire?
Inside the tent was like a large library… with dark wood and many ladders… long desk stood in the middle, and in the armchair…
one blink of an eye and a man was sitting there, a man with the strangest face… (if after all of that you asked Val what did he look like, she couldn’t tell you really…).. the thing that struck her was his eyes… silver mercury- like, with rainbow shades swimming on the surface.
Deep, velvet like voice asked her things … she shyly explained her tragedy and that Gabrielle told her to come here, and a man was silent for a very long time…
-it requires an ancient magic and it not comes for free – he said finally… – it does not cost money, but it needs a lot of love gathered as a repayment for good deeds, as love belongs to the domain of light.. and still it might not work… but you come with the name of my beloved Gabrielle on your lips.. and I must help you in this impossible task-
-open a love booth on my grounds, use your magic and sell love to those who need it, but be wary to choose only pure hearts, as love is a tricky thing and it can turn black. Bye my dear, we shall meet again.-
Valentine Love Booth
Infatuation buns, seduction croissants, charm cookies, unhappy love cure ginger bread, big love heart cake with strawberries..
Years are passing… and Valentine slowly forgets about Narcissus… she even looks at other boys now…time is a powerful ally… who can imagine what’ll happen in ten years?
I hope the right, warm heart arrives soon.
<3

* Pinocchia *
Wooden child from “The strangest Funfair on Earth” series
*
*
Her story might be different from the one of Pinocchio… she’s a girl after all, and girls do everything quite differently from boys…
For a start, girls seem to realize few important things very early… and Pinocchia..well.. still as a log – one glance in the mirror and she knew something’s not exactly right.. and that things needed to be set straight.
Her mommy ( doll sculptor) found her in the woods… that is – she found a strange looking piece of wood, which ..blinked… and smiled?! So she took it home and immediately used some tools on it..
Later on there was a “missing” advert in the daily “Twin Peaks” newspaper… apparently local curiosity “Lady with the log” lost her … erm…log… but by the time any such advert was or wasn’t read, it was too late, as the log became a doll…
Pinocchia , girl made of wood, wanted to become a living and breathing girl, so she embarked on a journey filled with thrills and adventures… and in the search of her dream she met many different people, and seen lots of horrible and wonderful places…. and one day she unknowingly crossed the gate of Enchanted Funfair….
Being a strongly magical creature, Pinocchia was welcomed at the Funfair with open arms… (and no ticket fee, which was very fortunate as her pockets, if she had any, were terribly empty)…
And after a long talk with the mysterious Maestro, the head of the whole wonderful and strange place, she was given a job…. a little stall with dolls just like herself, but tiny, child-like, to sell at the funfair to those who wanted their life to be less lonely….
Pinoccia still has 1098 dolls in her little shop… and when the shelves are finally empty… she will become……… a girl…. and that will be the beginning of new and great adventure…
The End?
