EDGAR ALLAN POE

THIS YEAR FOR EASTER INSTEAD OF THE RABBIT I USUALLY PUT IN HIS BASKET (BRYAN IS GETTING WAY TOO OLD FOR THAT) I DECIDED TO TRY TO MAKE HIM SOMETHING A BIT MORE TO HIS LIKING.  YES, EDGAR MAY BE A BIT GLOOMY FOR AN EASTER BASKET BUT BRYAN LIKED HIM AND THAT WAS ALL THAT MATTERED.

SO ARMED WITH A PRINTED COPY OF THE DAGUERREOTYPE SHOT BY MATTHEW BRADY,
A FEW CHOICE DESCRIPTIONS OF POE:

Mr. Poe had a certain charm and was especially favored by the ladies.
A genius, a madman and a poet.

I MADE MY RENDITION OF THE DARK POET,

THIS IS ACTUALLY EDGAR 2 - ONE I MADE TO SELL - BRYAN'S EDGAR WAS OF COURSE FINISHED ONLY HOURS BEFORE HE WAS PLOPPED IN HIS BASKET.

RARELY DO I MAKE THE SAME DOLL OVER AGAIN - BUT EDGAR TURNED OUT SO WELL I WILL MAKE HIM AGAIN FROM TIME TO TIME - I DO NOT USE PATTERNS FOR MY DOLLS SO EACH EDGAR - ALTHOUGH SIMILAR - WILL BE UNIQUE.

THIS EDGAR WILL BE GOING UP FOR ADOPTION ON EBAY - TODAY,
