A porcelin doll I bought at the thrift store today...
Look at these photos...she is interesting isn't she?
I utilized a doll similar to her in my glass work. I took the arms and the head and built a stand, then cut a dress pattern from out of the glass, which I then soldered onto her (body or stand).
I entered that piece in a show and it was sold that night.
I may have to think of some way to reincarnate her or maybe I will just buy her a little dress to wear and she can be a regular dolly for awhile.
2013 will mark my 13th year working with glass. My third year in painting. I push the envelope as far as what I can create with both mediums. Good things happen when glass breaks or mistakes happen...from there more is beautifully and meaningfully revealed.
