Help! We're all bottled up.

Bollywood Dreamer

This is a full-body sculpt in ProSculpt polymer clay, no molds used, of a young lady who is dancing and dreaming of being discovered by a Bollywood producer.

She stands 12 1/2" from her wooden base to top of her head and 6 1/4" from elbow to elbow. She is approximately 4" from front to back.

Her body is painted in acrylics, with a finishing layer of gold and green interference shimmer. Her skirt is lightweight gold lame, trimmed around the bottom with a filigreed gold ribbon. Her halter top is finished with a layering of gold and bronze micro beads. Her snake bracelets are covered in micro beads with Swarovski crystals as accents, and she has a Swarovski crystal piercing in her naval. Her hair is multi-colored yarn fibers with gold accents.

Annabelle

Annabelle has articulated arms, and her basket of flowers can be removed or placed in a different position. She stands 11" high and her torso is an antique wooden sewing spool decorated with ribbons and tiny pearls.

Her dress is a repurposed doll's dress from about 1940. Around the bottom of her skirt is a hand-tatted piece of lace. As I was sewing her dress, I thought alot about the person who did that tatting and how much time it must have taken.

Tin Can Man Cal

Cal the Tin Man is 12 3/4" tall to the top of his hat, which is, I think, an old cookie cutter. His body is a vintage Calumet Baking Powder can. His face is hand sculpted paper clay over a styrofoam base, painted with acrylics and pastels and finished with a matte glaze. The feet and legs were found at antique flea markets, and I have no idea what they are, but I think the metal is brass.

The Cup Ran Away With the Spoons

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.
