The Cup Ran Away with the Spoons: wild-haired and dirty-faced from her successful spoon rescue, this lady is on the run to save the spoons. She is a one-of-a-kind doll assemblage. The hand sculpted face and arms are of polymer clay. Her title is a play on the nursery rhyme, "Hey diddle-diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon, the little dog laughed to see such a sight, and the dish ran away with the spoon."
The remainder of the doll is made from found object vintage hardware, an old tin measuring cup, miniature gears and a jewelry piece with antique-finished charms. An old door knob backplate forms the base. The beanie cap, face and neck structure, as well as the arms, are secured with wing nuts and bolts.
