My tribute to her in the form of a OOAK custom portrait doll
Wow, to be related! She was a fascinating woman so full of art and life. I have read about her and her husband, seen a film on them too.
I wonder how their lives really were, it seems like they hit the dizzy heights and the sullen lows, each in their own way.
You’ve given her a lovely garment and I am intrigued with the shoes, a very suitable style for her era.

Thank you, Elisa! Scott’s jealously and Zelda’a frustrations made for a complex, complicated marriage for sure. They loved one another, but there were so many other factors and people involved that it made the marriage strained. So very sad.
