I wonder how long it took to make one of these. Also, if one or more people created it.

THAT is SO beautiful!
Looks like golden sunlight with clouds drifting by.

So, they did use cloth!
That's really different!

You wonder what kind of life this person led.

Motts~You had pointed out the fact that the cript had a 3 leaf clover design for a window..
This crown also bears leaves with 3 leaves to some of them.
I wonder if that why the window is that shape?

THIS has also been one of my favorite pics ever since Motts had those teaser pics of his trip put up on his main page!
I would have been so tempted to try this on.

Looking at it more...is it made out of wood or cloth? The damage to it almost looks like decaying rippled and ripped fabric.

I love the different lighting of the stone in the front and back of the coffin.
Such a beautiful blue in the back!
It looks like the wood is made of mahogany. Those must be crowns above the handles?

The light takes a quick peek in to make sure that all are still sleeping soundly.

I find it even more upsetting to find out that Lynne may have balls!
Is there a support group for this kind of condition? Can chemo cure this???
; )

Hi J.R.
The original Enchanted Forest has been closed for quite a few years now.
Over the last two years, relocation efforts have gone on to try to save the remaining structures.
These two teacups and the kettle have been saved. Teacups restored AND someone who had another teacup that they obtained some time ago, gave that and other fairytale figures that they had to Clark's Elioak Farm.
Just google the name of this farm and you should find it easy! : )
This is the place where ANYTHING that can be saved and relocated are being placed so that future generations can see what was so enchanting about this forest...once upon a time.
This farm is only about 4 miles from the original Enchanted Forest.
Check out the link for directions and times open.
it is a seasonal place and closes before winter hits!

You're welcome for the info, Nance! : )
You're right! A big thanks to Motts and his beautiful photography!
Even through the decay and overgrowth his eyes were able to capture places in this enchanted forest that will always be close to my heart.
Such a beautiful place!
Unfortunately, it was stripped of pretty much of all of it's creative fairytale and nursery rhyme figures when it was sold the second time.
Some were destroyed, or stolen while the place was left to just rot when it first closed years ago. All figures the figures are gone.
Many figures AND structures (the chapel in the woods, Little Red Riding Hood's Grandmother's house to name a few.),are left unaccounted for and Clark's Elioak Farm would love to hear from anyone who may have figures, signs, or even structures, that they would like to return. No questions asked!!!!
I personally would love to know what happened to Alice and all the Wonderland gang, Rapunzel, and Cinderella and company.
Although, I had found a person who supposedly was creating new Cinderella figures for the castle when the park was first sold years ago. He said the originals were pretty much destroyed "roached" is how he put it.
I asked him if he could please explain, but he never responded, and so I left it at that.
But, I have never come across in my research anyone who ever saw the Cinderella figures out of the park after it closed.
Some of the other figures and such are another story...

Hi J.R. It's happened because people cared and got involved in saving what remained.
I believe that Kimco, who is the 3rd owner of this property now, had pretty much bought it for the mall strip and other stores that developed over the years after it was sold the first time.
They weren't into amusement parks. (I'm sure especially one that had been uncared for for years.)
And I give Kimco ALOT of credit to letting what remains be saved.
They didn't have to.
They could have just let it rot, since it wasn't anything that they were ever going to use.
But, they understood there was emotional and historic attachment to it, and gave Clark's Elioak Farm permission to take what they could at the farm's cost.
Had they not allowed THAT to happen, nothing from this creative children's nursery rhyme and fairytale park would have ever been saved. : )

Now we know what to get Motts for Christmas! LOL! ; )

Really breathtaking! Just that small bit of yellow color from the flowers make the rest of everything stand out even more. What a beautiful place to just roam and take in the beauty of everthing around! : )
