Doll House no 407

Doll House no 407 (with triplets), mixed media assemblage

I came across another book on midwifery last month dating to the mid 1800's. The engravings were sparse but few it held are treasures indeed. I do believe this is the first doll house in the series to feature triplets. I love how two have hair and the third is bald. Also, the dismembered legs gave me pause so I dutifully bestowed her with a new pair.

Pom Pom

Pom Pom, mixed media assemblage with found doll parts

Meet Pom Pom the Pierrot....decked out in his finest attire for an evening of pantomime....still pining after his lost love.

Jester Assemblage

Jester, mixed media assemblage

I had a request for another wall assemblage in this vein so I've created a jester. Figured it would be a fun piece to ring in the new year. He is a very jolly fellow indeed. Next up is a slew of art blocks which may or may not include a nod to St. Valentine.

Small World

Small World, mixed media assemblage in wooden box

I've been puzzling out this piece in the studio over the past week. These assemblages are diy puzzles for sure....trying to find the 'right' shape to fill each gap and dabbing paint here 'n there....an attempt to lend the illusion of balance to this small world.

Queen Bee

Queen Bee, mixed media assemblage

I've held onto this petite, freakish doll head for years. The back of the head is marked 1914 and it was quite fragile with a hairline crack. Anyhow, I was able to reinforce the interior with resin to use in this assemblage and she's stronger than ever. Hard to tell from the photos but she has itsy-bitsy teeth in her mouth....kinda vampir-esque if you ask me. Decided not to go that route and gave her a bumblebee with breasts get-up.

Doll House no 406

Doll House no 406 (with mammary gland), original mixed media assemblage

Yes....that is a ubiquitous number.
No....it doesn't mean anything whatsoever.

Home Sweet Home no 3

Another puzzle-like piece with a Home Sweet Home theme. Looking back here are a couple of previous assemblages: Home Sweet Home no 1 and no 2. Some precious little treasures were included in this one.

Dangle Ornaments

Sushipot's dangle ornaments are here--a baker's dozen of 'em! Ever since I teased you with the image of these in progress I've received several messages asking when they would be in the shop. I'll be listing them throughout the day along with these winter art blocks. I must say they  are quite jolly and look so festive hanging here 'n there on the walls of my studio. They vary in size between 6 and 9 inches and come ready to dangle (and jingle!) by a bit of golden string.

Doll House no 404, mixed media assemblage

Another week and a new doll house for you....this time with twins! One more doll house will be ready to share later on today.

Little Cobbler

Little Cobbler, mixed media assemblage

He kinda reminds me of the children's story about the Elves and the Shoemaker so I dubbed him 'Little Cobbler'.

Raggedy Ann Assemblage

Raggedy Ann, mixed media assemblage

My mama heart strings were tugged a bit when Lizzie announced she was too old to dress up and go trick-or-treating this year. She's much more excited about the prospect of handing out candy to the neighborhood kiddos and seeing their costumes. I've been consoling myself by dressing up art dolls in the studio. Remember my little Raggedy Ann? 

Lullaby Assemblage

Lullaby, mixed media assemblage with dangle-y night sky

All tucked in and ready for dreamland. This little one is making me sleepy....y-a-w-n...maybe it's time for a nap?

Miss Prism

Meet Miss Prism....she tends to cast a kaleidoscope of color everywhere she turns. Kinda like the prism that resides on the windowsill of my studio.

Open Sesame

Sesame, mixed media assemblage with old jar opener

This old jar opener has been hanging around my studio for years. I think I bought it back in Mobile, Alabama 'cuz I loved its chippy green handle and rusty toothiness. Still love 'em but she's more than ready to weave her web in the great wide world....shouldn't be too hard for a gal named Sesame.

Oh October!

Seems like every time October rolls around I have an 'oh s**t' moment over my things-to-do-before-the-holiday-season-begins list (as an Etsy seller that is). All summer long I have the best of intentions to be prepared but when you run a one woman show it's much easier said than done. Anyhow, it's no different this year and today is that day. haha! So I'm telling myself to kick it into high gear and tackle that list (we'll see how it goes!). First up is to finish this bevy of wall dolls who have been patiently waiting for additional limbs. They gotta have something to kick around with you know ;) Oh....and before I forget....a happy October to you!

Clown Kingpin

Kingpin, mixed media assemblage art doll clown with dangle-y bits

Possibly my favorite clown ever? Alas, I cannot keep him...he's headed to live in Brooklyn, NY. Have you seen these stamps yet? I bought two sheets....one to save and one to use. Gotta send some snail mail now! And....check out these old-school clowns.

Chevron Clown

Chevron, mixed media assemblage art doll clown

Decked out in chevrons & harlequins this clown is ready for the limelight. Kinda reminds me of Klee's amazing hand puppets 'tho only in shape--mine is quite rigid.
