Hi everyone!:) Happy Valentine's day, today I thought I would do a photoshoot with these dolls (or characters) that seemed the most "Valentinesy" (and romantic). In order of Appearance:
Aphrodite from Greek Mythology
Katrina Van Tassel from Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (even though her story is technically a Halloween story, I thought she would like to be in the photo shoot).
Freya from Norse Mythology
Here is the photo shoot (Unlike the other photo shoots I have done, I will be including facts about the characters instead of talking about the photos.):
Aphrodite
Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty. She was born out the sea and one of the most famous paintings of her is The Birth of Venus (Venus is her Roman name). Her son Eros (aka Cupid) is a big part of Valentine's Day. He in fact shows up on a lot of cards, and decorations.
Aphrodite also has a girdle that will make the wearer more beautiful.
Katrina Van Tassel
She is part of the romantic subplot of the novella, and even though she doesn't get much attention in the book, several movie versions have developed her character.
Katrina is often portrayed as a beautiful, slightly mischievous person
(who is also the catalyst of the whole conflict between Ichabod and Brom.)
Freya
Freya is the Norse goddess of love, beauty, and war. She has a charriot pulled by cats, and wears a necklace that she never takes off. The necklace is so beautiful that even the god Loki tried to steal it.
My dolls wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!
Which photo is your favorite? And which character is your favorite?
I hope you have a Happy Valentine's Day,
-Quinley
