Poppets in Fake Pants, Alison and Logan, My Favorite Novel, again and Poppets on Neil Gaiman

POPPETS in FAKE PANTS have arrived for Halloween.



Here's the first line up. More will join us in the next couple of days.


Poppets in Fake Pants are a collaboration of joyful abandon with Alison Tawney and Ben Warren.
I love rubbing brains with these two!


Alison, who is also my daughter, hopes to have her own for-real-bricks-and-mortar-Poppet-emporium one day. I can imagine it. Then again, I can imagine a lot when it comes to Alison. She is, well, of the magical sort.

I also must especially thank both Nora Wright (AKA Ravyn) and Mimi Ko (AKA MimiKo.) I'm not sure anymore which contributed exactly what, but I do recall many ridiculously fun conversations about Poppets in fake pants, and that both of them had great ideas. Thank you!


Poppets in Fake Pants. The more fake, the better. All bets are off here---these are for fun.









Here is Alison, with Logan, who just turned One and who inspires her every day.

















And, recently, in other parts of the world:

POPPETS AND OTHER STUFF!
















































































Photos of Neil and Poppets by Mimi Ko.




Titles by Lisa.




Evil Powers by Neil.


(no poppets were actually harmed.)
And lastly, we've sort of started this conversation in comments for the previous post. My question to you---What novel (or story) have you read and re-read at different points in your life and how do you think these perspectives affect the whole experience/meaning of the work?


Or, if you do revisit a favorite novel or story, why?




Hope you're enjoying your October.
