Description
This assortment of old, possibly vintage or even antique, baby dolls rests together on a shelf in the basement of an antiques and collectibles store. Once loved, they are now forgotten - but at least they have one another for company.

What a find! It's sad to see old family photos and treasures for sale, but the sadness is redeemed by being able to treasure them once again as art.

Nikolyn McDonald replied:
Thank you. I did apply a texture to this, quite heavily to the back of the shelf behind them and more lightly to the dresses and limbs. But I actually erased it from their poor, battered little faces which already showed the effects of time.

Nikolyn McDonald replied:
I think they look sad, too. I almost titled it "Once Loved, Now Forgotten" but decided less was more in this case. Thanks for the comment and visit.
